Budget updates available online
As the California State University continues to discuss ways to mitigate the impact of the projected $584 million budget reduction on the University and its employees, updates from President Corrigan and the Chancellor's Office can be found on SF State's Budget Central Web site at www.sfsu.edu/~news/budgetcentral/
SF State Web template training
University Communications and the Division of Information Technology will host two hands-on technology training sessions on deploying the SF State Web template. The first session, "Managing a Web Site using the SF State Web Template Design and Dreamweaver Web Template (DWT)," will be held June 26 from 10 a.m. to noon in ADM 103. Dreamweaver Web Templates (DWT) are a feature of the Dreamweaver software that can manage common Web site content in one place and avoid updating the same information on multiple pages. The session will cover creating a DWT file that incorporates a custom image bar, custom search and seasonal message, moving existing pages into the DWT, applying updates to the DWT and using the noindex directory to develop and test the site.
The second session, "Overview of the SF State Web Template Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)," will be July 10 from 10 a.m. to noon in ADM 103. In this session, attendees will review the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) structure and styles used by the SF State template. The session will address the differences between shared style sheets stored centrally and local style sheets. Send any specific CSS questions in advance to
webteam@sfsu.edu
