How to post a link to your paper

The best way to do it would be to put it on your W: drive that the university gives you and then link to it. For example if your file is named "thesis.doc" the link to the file would simply be, in the HTML view:

http://www.ilstu.edu/~ULID/thesis.doc

Where I have ULID in all caps you will simply put your ULID.

In order to connect to your W: drive you will need to use VPN if you are off campus. You can get this by going to http://webvpn.ilstu.edu to use the new online VPN. Once you have logged on you will see an option to view your W: drive files, while there simply upload your file and then you are ready to link to it. If you have any questions please email me at cppohlm@ilstu.edu

Ok. I told everyone this during class last time, but people seemed to think this was sooo difficult that they should ignore me. I won't say I told you so, except that I will.

That little quasi-satirical tirade wasn't directed at you, Buddy. I just put it here for the benefit of others who might read your (excellent) advice.
