HSC Web Authors
Web Author FAQ
How do I start my new web site?
Contact the HSC Web Administrator, Kevin Wiley, at 2-3638 or via email in GroupWise. He will get basic information needed to get your site set up and give you access. The next thing you should do is sign up for the HSC Web Author course. This course will tell you what you need to know in order to work your web site.
What standards do I need to follow?
You need to adhere to the HSC Web Development Policy and Graphical Standards.
What tools do I need to use?
As of April 2011, the HSC is beginning a conversion to the UNM Web Content Management System. Due to the large number of websites at the HSC, this transition will take a couple years.
If you have not yet converted to using the Web Content Management System, you may purchase a copy of Microsoft Expressions Web at IT Software Distribution.
Is there a class or training?
Yes, there will be a class for HSC Web Authors. Beginning April 2011, the HSC Web Author Class will teach people how to develop and maintain their site using the UNM Web Content Management System. We also offer a two hour Web Author's Lab for more hands on help and training. You can register for them in Learning Central.
I cannot connect to my web site. What should I do?
Contact Kevin Wiley at 2-3683.
How do I get someone in my department access to maintain our site?
Your manager or department chair must send an email to Kevin Wiley requesting web author access for that person. The HSC Web Team cannot give anyone permission to work on the web server without this.
What are the Web Author meetings about?
The Web Author meetings cover a range of topics for HSC Web Authors. One of the main purposes of the meetings is to keep the Web Authors informed of coming changes and to hear their comments and concerns about the HSC web effort. The meetings sometimes deal with hands-on topics, such as finding HSC web statistics.
