    as your "Location:"

Note: Saves the file temp_nocolumnexam.htm to your "root web folder"

Modify the template for your web pages

[ back to top ]
  1. From your web "Folder List:", open (by double clicking) temp_nocolumnexam.htm
    • Note: when you double click "temp_nocolumnexam.htm" from your Folder List, you will be prompted to log on; simply click cancel (this is asking you to log onto the web where the style sheet and image information is saved... so you could make changes to the actual template file for the whole campus).
  2. Go to the HTML source by clicking the button pictured here:
  3. Change the four META tag values for: author, owner, review-date, and expiration-date.
  4. Click back to Normal (next to the HTML source button) to return to normal editing mode.
  5. Change the "Help for this Site" link in the upper right corner of this page to email your site contact person
  6. Change aspects of the page to fit your needs.

If you want to preserve the unique look and feel of your web page(s), you may use only the META information from requested in the campus.

  1. Add
    <meta name="author" value="YOUR DEPARTMENT AUTHOR">
    <meta name="owner" value="YOUR DEPARTMENT NAME">
    <meta http-equiv="review-date" value="YOUR REVIEW DATE">
    <meta http-equiv="expiration-date" value="WHEN YOUR PAGE EXPIRES">
    to the <HEAD></HEAD> section of your web pages
  2. Modify the "value" elements of the META tags, above so it reflects your site information
    Detailed Instruction about format of these values may be found at:
    http://www.csusm.edu/csusmredesign/instruction.htm#metatag

Exercise: Using either the campus template or META tags, save a site template page for your web.
