Web Maintenance

To edit a page:

1. Navigate to the page (as normal, click on the tab at the top or the link at the bottom. You may need to go to the directory page, then click on the person, to get to a person's page.)

NOTE: people whose pages have not been done yet will take you to the OLD (white) site, see "To Move Data..." below.

2. Click the Pencil button (top right) (If the pencil button is NOT visible: a) scroll to the bottom. b) click the LogIn link at the left side of the list of links. c) enter your gmail ID and password and accept them.)

WHEN YOU SEE the "Insert Format Table Layout" menus, YOU ARE IN EDITING MODE! This is the starting point for most other actions.

3. Click to place the cursor, drag to select text, etc. as you would in MS Word. (MS Word skills are VERY helpful, for instance, placing text in table cells, which is tricky, is a skill you can hone in MS Word.)

NB do NOT try to navigate to another page in this site until you are DONE with your edits to this page.

4. Click the Save button (where the pencil used to be) to save and exit edit mode.
