The following image dimensions should be set when placing images within your pages as follows:

The main image that top of the right-hand column for Commission, Ministry, and General pages.
Width: 280 pixels, Height: any

Width: 460 pixels (maximum, but can be smaller), Height: any
Ministry Index Page Icons
The icons used within any of the Ministry Index pages.
Width: 60 pixels, Height: 60 pixels
Home Page, Main Images
The main image(s) on the Home page.
Current image height is 280 pixels. If multiple images are used, all images should be the same height.
Width: 760 pixels, Height: any

Home Page, Content Column Images
While we do not generally use images within the content columns, in some rare instances, they are needed.

Nav Bar Image
The image below the Nav Bar in the left column (currently the Mission statement).
This column is 160 pixels wide; the menus are 140 pixels wide; the Mission image is 142 pixels wide.
Max image width can be up to 160.

The actual image size of the raw image (height and width) should be 2 times the dimensions shown. This is because the newer mobile devices (e.g., iPhone, iPad, etc.) support the display of greater detail. For example, even though we will set the width of the main page image to 280 pixels, the width of the actual image should be 560 pixels.
The following image file formats should be used.
jpeg, jpg
This file format should be used for all photographs. Also, any images coming from a digital camera should be compressed to reduce the file size of that image.
png
This file format should be used for computer graphics and clip art.
The following file folders are to be used for the documents and images. Individual folders are available for each major group or commission and should be used as described below. You can view these folders by using the File Browser (Images & Files menu item).

When creating an Email Link, the following guidelines should be followed. In the example below, the email link is being created for John Smith whose email address is jsmith@comcast.net and this link is being placed on the Respect for Life Ministry page under the "Join Us" section.
Within the Link dialog box, the "E-Mail Address" field should contain BOTH the name of the person AND their email address; the "Subject" field should reference the page that contains this link. In this example, it should be specified as follows:
Whenever you are uploading a document to our site, this document should be a PDF. We want to avoid uploading any documents in their native format - e.g., Word, Excel, Powerpoint.
If you do not have the document in PDF format, you can use the following site to convert your document to PDF format for free - www.easypdfcloud.com
If you are having trouble creating a PDF, you can send your document to the Web Admin who supports your Commission or group and they can convert it to PDF format for you.
When editing a page, within any CKEditor field you can easily create a link to a document as follows:
After logging on to the site, you can upload documents from your computer as follows:
NOTE: You can upload a document at the same time you are creating the link to the document.
Whenever we have a lot of people uploading files, we need to have a basic system for placing and naming the files so that we can tell which files belong to which groups and pages.
When naming your documents, you should use the following conventions:
Within any page (General or Ministry), the Featured Content section is used for any "Upcoming Events" that are to be listed on that page. From a consistency standpoint, it is important that these sections are formatted in the same manner across all pages.

Training Exercise
The current training notes document is located here - Web Site Training Notes.
The "Training Exercise" section within this document provides step by step training that can be performed at any time. In this exercise, you will create a sample commission page. Before starting this training, a training page must be created - this page will be specifically for you. If you do not have a training page, contact one of the Web Site Admins to create one for you.
To access your training page, use the following link:
http://www.stedna.org/training/<last-name>
(where <last-name> above is your last name)
Before starting the training, you should download the sample content document located here - Sample Content Document (alternatively, you can also refer to the Sample Training Page).
When you complete the training exercise, your training page should look exactly like the sample content document (or the sample training page).
Also, after you complete the training, you can use this page to try out any other changes that you may be unfamiliar with prior to updating any live content pages on the site.
