University News Portal
Tips & Best Practices
Web Services team has created a standalone news portal for the dissemination of university news. This portal follows the progression and advancement of the University, and will be completely maintained and controlled by the Department of Public Relations. The following tips are best practices for inputting news stories into the content management system (CMS).
- Always try to start the process by first uploading images -- because adding images
is the most time consuming part of this process try to have the images for the story
available before you input the actual story. If there are no images available, please
use one of the generic options provided for you. More information on adding images
can be found below in the category labeled "Images Overview" in the navigation to the left.
- If you have materials that will need to be added to a story before the story is published
and the story has been created in the CMS, you can modify and add those elements
via the story's "Page Properties." If the story has been published and the images and/or content materials need to
be modified, depending on those modifications you may need to edit the individual
story's RSS element. ( see "RSS Overview" for more information)
- The main News Release feed operates "last in -- first out". Meaning, the last story implemented will appear first in the location it was added.
