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 the content of the title and head tags.
<title>Untitled Document, College of Forestry, Oregon State University</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Enter keywords here " />
<meta name="description" content="Enter description here." />
<meta name="author" content="Enter the author here." />
<meta name="copyright" content="Unit Info, Oregon State State University." />
- Untitled Document: Use a suitably short descriptor of your site. Make sure not to change or delete "College of Forestry, Oregon State University".
- Keywords: This is a collection of words and/or phrases separated by commas. They are used by search engines to match search arguments with relevant sites. A site about famous scientists, for example, might have keywords like: "famous scientists, science history, science biographies, albert einstein, isaac newton, marie curie, richard feynman" etc.
- Description: Whatever you type here is what would appear in a description field in a list of search results returned by a search engine (e.g. Google). You may want to write a two- or three-sentence narrative explaining the mission of your unit and the purpose of its web site.
- Author: That's you!
- Copyright: Use the name of whatever college, department, or organization at OSU that controls your unit's copyrights. If you're not sure, just use your unit's name.
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: You can either keep the standard COF links across the bottom of the page by leaving this PHP code at the end of your content:
<?php include("http://www.cof.orst.edu/Templates/bottom.inc"); ?>
Or you can design your own. This would be well-used as a navigation aid for a multi-page level 3 web site.
You're done! Now just develop your content and upload the page if you're not working directly off your server.
