First Try at Creating Website

[M.W.Chang]

identity is for version 1, right? did I mis-interpret the doc?
Or that the key generation has nothing to do with protocol version?
when I used identity, I also set my putty to use version 1 protocol.

putty said the dsa key was not secure. So I thought I should use rsa.
that's why I used ssh-keygen -t rsa

actually, I tried using id_dsa, but failed.
