Instructions for using the CS-SIS Template:

  1. Save the above 'template' file to your hard drive.
  2. Open 'template' in your favorite text or html editor.
  3. Edit the text that is in ALL-CAPS with your own content:
    • Edit the <title> tag
    • Edit the <h1> heading with your page's title
    • Edit the <h2> heading with a subtitle (if needed)
    • Add your html content in the space below the headings
  4. Save the file, renaming it to whatever you wish to call it, and be sure to give it an .asp filename extension
  5. Upload your file to the CS-SIS site.
  6. Check the page by browsing to the directory that you saved it to on the website.
  7. You might want to make sure that your code validates as correct XHTML
  8. If you need to add the new page to the main navigation menu:
    • Download the file '\include\navmenu.shtml'
    • Edit navmenu.shtml, inserting a link to your page as a new <li> (list item)
    • Place the new <li> under one of the existing top-level navigation link names ('Information', 'Communication', 'Resources'), or create a new top-level link by adding a new unordered list following the example of the current navigation list
    • Upload 'navmenu.shtml' back to the CS-SIS site's '\include\' directory
  9. You're done!
