EVENTS
1) If you’re going to use your flyer that went out over Univ Comm, at least crop off the logo!....and you need to link to more details on the event.
2) If it’s easier you can link your flyer to a larger (full-size) flyer so they can read those details….but only do this if you’re going to alter the metadata for the Events page….b/c your image text is not searchable/findable on search engines.
Which is better? BTW, leftnav says “SOARS Scholars Program” --
The current proposed project titled SOARS (Student Opportunities for Advancement in Research Skills) Scholars program will focus on paid opportunities for students to participate in research activities during their junior/senior years in the following STEM fields: Agriculture, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, and Engineering. Learning that is supported by active research will improve students’ skill-sets both in theory and practice. Learning and research that is a paid activity will lessen the impact of financial strain and eradicate the need to engage in off-campus employment. The program will concurrently offer structured activities to enhance their knowledge about internships, co-ops, careers and the graduate school experience.
Producing sufficient numbers of graduates who are prepared for STEM occupations has become a national priority in the United States. To attain this goal, some policymakers have targeted reducing STEM attrition in college, arguing that retaining more students in STEM fields in college is a low-cost, fast way to produce the STEM professionals that the…

TABLES
How to center a table
Add:
margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;
to styles in table properties
Make REAL words for wrapping purposes (not URLs!)
/_testadmin/accounting/faculty.asps
If have table, won’t behave properly.
New Web Page to Replace Old One
For example, you need to make drastic changes to “contact.pcf”. How do you go about it?
Brand new page named “contact2016.pcf”…..or alter “contact.pcf”?
Moral of story: Don’t publish a new file named “contact2016.aspx”….b/c all your links are to contact.aspx!
Help! The right side of my content is hanging off the side of the page and not viewable!
FONT SIZE
You can’t have small font-size b/c small mobile devices won’t be able to
read it. The size that is default is by-design.
WRONG USE OF LOGO
Search for “logos” in search box.
PAGE TITLE – must be relevant to page (not repeat of dept name!)
Don’t put dept name as Page Title. On mobile, your menu will have ALL the same things on it!!!!
Also, the browser tab is an indicator of what page you’re on, so put a specific page title!

FIX!

ADD TO CALENDAR
Make appt in Outlook,
Forward as .ics (calendar file)
Right-click to save to your PC
Upload into your OU Campus directory named “reminders”
(If you don’t have a “reminders”
directory, you can very quickly make one:
Just click “New”
And choose “Folder”
Name it “reminders”.
Then, take note of the link of your ics file. It will be:
www.tnstate.edu/YourDeptWebsite/
Make link on web page to this .ics file.
Subtitle – don’t put text there! (and contraction “it’s”….and acronym “Faqs” should be capitalized!)

TABLES
CELLPADDING IN TABLE
In /_workshop, I put a contact.pcf page that is AEAO/Success Center (they put leading spaces on every line!)
FIX THIS PAGE!
TABLES - sizing
Don’t grab by corner & enlarge. Always use dimensions….or else table will take on fixed width….and not work responsively.
MENTIONING A BUILDING?
Add the link to the Building map. Duh.
Making a link? When do you open in a new window? How do you do it?
LINKING (MAKING YOUR DEPT VIRAL)
Tennessee State University, in collaboration with Fisk University, is hosting the 24th Annual NAAAHP Conference!
The Audacity of Vision: Dare to Dream
Oct. 31 - Nov. 3 at Opryland Hotel!
1) Anything on graphic is not searchable.
2) If this was text, you could link to the organizations represented!....and be more findable yourselves!
IF DELETE CONTENT FROM CELL/COL, DELETE COL MAYBE
https://www.tnstate.edu/_workshop/tableCol.aspx
MERGE
If you have 2 rows & 2 columns…..and you remove content from one TD cell & make it empty….and that makes you want to spread the content from the other column/cell across both columns (merge cells).
CONTENT TEXTURE
Paragraph – make bullets/texture
