This page describes how to set up a website on Minds.
Your website lives in your public_html directory, under your home directory, so all files comprising your website should be placed in here.
You can create the files on your own computer, using your own editors and development tools, and then upload them to minds via secure ftp, find out more about this here.
Or, if you are editing your website while logged in to the minds system via ssh ( for example using putty or openssh ), you would just change to the public_html directory, like so:
Your website will be accessible at http://minds.may.ie/~yourusername.
