Posting "Safe" Email Addresses

Building a Level 2 Page

Step 1: To start, copy the HTML from this window and paste it into an empty text document.

Do not simply save the window. Special tags were used to render the code correctly and are difficult to remove.

Step 2: Change YOUR TITLE HERE to a suitably short descriptor of your site. Make sure not to change or delete "College of Forestry, Oregon State University".

<title>YOUR TITLE HERE, College of Forestry, Oregon State University</title>

Step 3: Customize your style sheet. A good place to start would be to download the default style sheet and go from there. If you're unfamiliar with CSS, you should probably just leave these addresses alone. If you do make your own style sheet, however, you will need to upload it to your server and provide the URL.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../../../../Templates/site.css" type="text/css">

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
@import url(http://www.cof.orst.edu/Templates/site.css);
-->
</STYLE>

Step 4: Customize your menu. Your main page should always use the navbartoplink class so its entry in the menu will be bolded. If you're making a page further down on the menu, remove the anchor and use a <b> tag to indicate the current page.

<blockquote>
   <p align="right"><a href="/students.htm"
      class="navbartoplink">Custom Menu</a></p>
   <p align="right"><a href="/cof/studserv/"
      class="navbarlink">Item 1</a></p>
   <p align="right"><a href="/cof/studserv/"
      class="navbarlink">Item 2</a></p>
   <p align="right"><a href="/cof/studserv/"
      class="navbarlink">Item 3</a></p>
   <p align="right"><a href="/cof/teach/"
      class="navbarlink">Item 4</a></p>
</blockquote>

You're done! Now just develop your content and upload the page if you're not working directly off your server.
