When Might I Need the Webmaster?

The webmaster is the person you want to contact if you see a departmental web page that does not want to load or a link that no longer works. You also need to contact the webmaster if you want to make changes to any departmental web page, or change links. Only the webmaster can move files in or out of the web page area. (Actually, some top system people can do this too if the webmaster is unreachable, but in that case, please remind them to update the html file history list and HISTORY.TXT in the top directory.)

Making Changes

If you want to make a minor change on a web page, it may be easiest to print out the web page from your browser. Mark the change in red ink and give it to Dr. Van Dommelen.

If you want to make extensive changes, please save the web page using your browser's File menu. Then edit it using a text editor such as PFE. Please leave the formatting commands such as, say, <ul> unchanged; do not delete these! E-mail the edited page to the webmaster address shown at the top of this page.

Another way to do this is to mail the web page you want to change to yourself. You can use the Send Page option of the File menu in Netscape to do this. Now you can use your mail program's editor to change the page. Mail it to the webmaster listed at the top of the page; do not "Reply" to the message.
