| Training: The SoM Web Format & Contribute |
| IRT Information |
Before You Begin...What Format is Your Site?Standardized School of Medicine sites are in one of two formats, applied during the April 2007 Redesign. See the list of redesigned sites to see whether your site is SoM Web 1.9, SoM Web 2.0, or is not in a standard format (no conversion). |
What to expect from this tutorial
With this training, you will learn how to publish Web pages in one of the two official School of Medicine SoM Web formats using Contribute 3 or newer, including the basics of Contribute.
Contribute is not for everyone
Contribute makes it easy to use to manage existing Web pages and to create new pages from existing ones, within an existing site structure. It is ideal for routine, low-level site maintenance.
Contribute is good for
- Changing text on existing Web pages
- Cloning existing pages to create new ones
- Editing existing sets of breadcbrumbs and left navigation links
Contribute is not good for
- Creating new sub-directories and site structure
- Changing which set of breadcrumbs or left navigation links is attached to a page
- Editing JavaScript objects, such as encrypted email links
Publishers anticipating highly active site development may want to consider using Dreamweaver instead. Extensive training is available for SoM Web and Dreamweaver.
To complete this training, you need:
- A copy of Contribute 3 or newer installed on your computer. See More Information & Resources for details.
- An SoM Web Format site to work on.
- If you want access to an existing live site as an official Web Author, please use the Contribute request form.
- You can request access to a non-public student practice site using the Web Help form.
And, let us know when you have finished the training
