Do You Have Any Questions About Publishing to JMU's Web Site?

In order to better support the JMU web publishing community, Information Technology is reviewing the entire web account creation and maintenance process. An IT Web team headed by Alvin Chao, now reviews Information Publisher's Agreements and requests for additional web accounts. They also answer questions about which server would best suit a department't purposes.

When an Information Publisher's Agreement is completed, a member of the IT Web team will call the account's main contact.

All new information publishers are required to take the new Computing Support Web workshop, Information Publisher's Orientation. This workshop shares basic information about servers, accounts, password access, HTML editors, Web Resources, disability compliance, and security concerns. If you intend to use advanced web features or collect information on your site, specific JMU servers should be used. After completion of this workshop, the new web publisher will receive access to their account.

Web Manager, JMU's new web content manager enables you to create a web site by using software that already exists on your desktop (Internet Explorer and Word), JMU Web Publisher can produce and maintain up-to-date, professionally designed Web sites with little or no knowledge of HTML and mininmal investment of time and money in software and training. Visit the computing support's workshop page and register. Another new Web workshop, Publishing Web Pages to the Internet explains and gives hands-on training in web publishing option: FTP, FrontPage Publish, and Web Dav folders, and identifies which JMU servers require specific publishing functions.
