Department Web Editor Guidelines

Department web editors can create and edit news posts on their department website and help manage their department’s listings in the college directory. CNR Communications handles webpage updates and new page requests.

Guidelines

  • Submit webpage updates and new page requests through the Department Webpage Request Form.
    • For larger or more detailed updates, you may copy the current page content into a Google Doc and use Suggesting mode or comments to show your requested changes. Include the Google Doc link with your request.
  • Add alternative text when an image communicates information that is not already provided in the surrounding text.
  • Prepare supporting images at an appropriate size before uploading.
  • Use a featured image for news posts and crop it to 1500 x 844 pixels before publishing.
  • Use the appropriate categories when creating news posts so they appear in the correct feeds.
  • Do not create new news categories. Contact [email protected] with questions or category requests.

Directory Profiles

Department web editors can update their unit’s faculty and staff directory listings.

  • For directory profile photos, please send requests to [email protected] rather than uploading images directly.
  • When uploading a new resume or CV, remove the previous pdf file from the media library.
