Repairs the easy way

I think he's got some serious issues he needs to work out for himself. It's okay, I understand: you're a wuss. That's why you clicked here. You're too much a chicken to do it the hard way. Well, I want you to know right off that I disapprove of your slackness. It's that sort of attitude that lead to the communist regime in Cuba. Anyway, we'll edit Ashley's resume using Netscape Composer and ftp it up using Fetch (for you Mac people) and WS_FTP (for you PC retards).

Let's start by pulling copies of Ashley's web page off of the server. For that we'll use a graphical FTP client. If you're on a MacIntosh, you'll use Fetch. Launch Fetch and click New Connection under the File menu. Follow the example below when you fill in the fields.

Chances are you'll be logging into isis.unc.edu. Ashley's ex-boyfriend, Adam, had set her up with a very special and magical account on a server he administers at the MetaLab. Let's pray he didn't disable her account after they broke up!

yes! we're connected!

Whew! We got in! Man, Adam really was a nice guy! For those of you on PCs, you'll want to use WS_FTP as your FTP client. Here's what you'll see:

ws_ftp, baby!

Once you're logged into the server, copy the files locally onto your disk so you can edit them with your favorite html/text editor. We'll start working on her resume using Netscape Composer. Follow the link in case you forgot how to use Composer. For those of you working on a MacIntosh, you're in luck. You can use a high-quality text editor like BBEdit to make changes to your documents.

After some diligent work, we redid her resume using a whole new template. We updated everything and even tossed that exceedingly sad picture. Her resume is ready for prime-time!! Now you're ready to move on to the next stage: working on the index. Let's fix that picture of Adam and Ashley first....
