Technology Services

If you have never edited the Web site before, you will need to request that your account be given access to edit the site. You will also need a PC with Microsoft Office 2007 SharePoint Designer (available free for PC, but unfortunately not available for Macs - use Dreamweaver or a similar Web editor).
Start Internet Explorer
Go to the Woodring Web page you wish to edit
Change the address (URL) from http://www.wce.wwu.edu/... to http://dev.wce.wwu.edu/... and press Enter
Select File > Edit with Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer
Enter your WWU user name and password
Note 1: if the login window displays dev.wce.wwu.edu\ in front of your username, change this to wwu\
Edit the text on the Web page as needed. Please following the Web page editing guidelines.
Click on the File menu and select Save
Note 3: you will be editing and saving your pages directly on the server. If SharePoint/FrontPage only lets you save to your computer, then you have logged in incorrectly in step 6, or your account does not have permission to edit that Web site.
After you have made all your changes to your Web page(s), saved them and want to make them public, fill out a Tech Request asking that your Web page(s) (indicate which one(s) were changed) be copied to the WWW (public) Web site.

the Site Heading is the name of your Website, e.g. Technology Services (see the top of this page)
Use a consistent, accurate Site Heading

the Page Heading is the name of an individual page, e.g. Web Page Editing Instructions (see the top of this page)
the Page Heading should match the corresponding Navigation Link (on the left column of each page in your site)
Use an accurate Page Heading

Make sure each Web page has a unique Page Title, so Search Engines can find and index it correctly.

the Page Title should be in the form Site Heading - Page Heading and is displayed in search results and at the top of the browser window, e.g. Technology Services - Web Page Editing Instructions.
Click on the Web Site tab in SharePoint Designer to view and change the Titles of your pages.

Click on the View menu and select Folder List
Within the templates folder, click once on the Template.shtml file and select Edit > Copy and then Edit > Paste
Drag your newly copied file out of the template folder into the main folder
Rename the new Template_copy(1).shtml file to a new descriptive name without spaces or underlines and with the .shtml extension (e.g., ProgDesc.shtml)
Open the new file (e.g., ProgDesc.shtml). Change the Page Heading at the top of the page to the new name of your file (e.g., Program Description).
Remember to change the page title of this new page (see Page Title above).
Add content to your new page and select Save from the File menu

Click on the includes folder in the Folder List
Open nav.html to add a link to a page on your site (displays in the left-most column) or links.html to add a link to a related page (displays in the right-most column)
Type the text of your new link to match the Title of the page you are linking to (e.g., Advising)
Select the text of the new link
Click on the Insert menu and select Hyperlink
Click on the file you are linking to (e.g., Advising.shtml). IMPORTANT: make sure you manually remove "../" from the beginning of the URL
Click OK
Click Save from the File menu to save the Navigation Links

When editing, pressing Enter will start a new paragraph. For a single line, use Shift-Enter.
Use bulleted lists (like this one) or numbered lists to list information.
To create a hyperlink, highlight the text, then click Insert > Hyperlink and choose the page or paste in the URL you would like to link to.
If changing a "mailto:" link, when your mouse-cursor is over the link you will note that the bottom of your screen will show "mailto: and the person's address. In order to change the address to the correct URL, you need to highlight the link on your screen (it will highlight if you double-click anywhere on the link), then click on the blue world "hyperlink" icon at the top of your screen (or click the Insert menu and select Hyperlink, or press CTRL-K) and re-type the correct address in the URL box that appears; click OK.
Do not use spaces or tabs to align columns of text or images horizontally, use Tables instead
