Here are a couple of resources to help you get started. A link to them is also available from the Welcome Menu. After logging in, you can find a link to the "Welcome Menu" at the bottom of most of the pages on this website. These are pdf files, so you will  need to have Adobe Reader (or other pdf reader) in order to read them. You may wish to save the files on your computer, and perhaps to print them for reference.

Getting Started Guide

To accesss your page, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "SiteMap". Find your page and click it. Then click "Edit" at the bottom of your page.

The online page editor works much like a Word Processor.

To make a new paragraph, you need to hit "Enter" while holding down the "Shift" key.

To display an image on your page, it is first necessary to upload the image to the server. The User's Manual explains how to do this. A few things to remember when putting images onto your page:

• Please upload your images into the "Photos" directory, and not to the "Images" directory!
• Please be very careful not to give your image the same name as another image already in the directory! Doing so will eliminate someone else's picture, and will more than likely mess up their web page! I encourage you to name your images with your initials at the beginning of the name, such as, tlmypicture.jpg.
• It is not a good practice to have spaces in your image name. Letters, numbers, the hyphen and underscore are ok. Change the name of the image before you upload it!

• Use the online resize feature to make the image the proper size, or resize the picture before you upload it. Please do not downsize a large or high resolution image using HTML (doing so doesn't really resize the image file itself, and therefore consumes a lot of extra space on the server.)

   

If you wish to make your own banner for the top of your page, please contact Trent Logan. Otherwise, do not change the default template assigned to your page.

If you wish to have additional pages, click "Add" at the bottom of your home page. Please be sure that you are at the bottom of your home page when you click "Add" or your new page will not appear in the correct place in the Site Map.

Finally, and this should go without saying, please respect each other's web pages! We share a network, and we share an interface for modifying the website. All this entails a degree of mutual trust. Let us not break this trust, and be careful not to make needless extra work for someone else!
