WEBSITE PUBLISHING

Website publishing guide and resources for staff.

Images:
Images should first be re-sized (in iPhoto) to fit:

For a 2-column page (such as this one): Photos should not exceed max. 250 pixels wide, plus 2-pixel border (Format > Image Properties > Border=2).

For 1-column page: Photos can be max. 568 pixels wide, plus 2-pixel border (Format > Image Properties > Border=2).

Insert Image: in Contribute "Edit Page" mode, place cursor in the location required, then click on the Image button above (main menu bar), or Insert > Image, then choose "From My Computer ..." or "From Website..." and browse to the image file you want. Highlight the file, and click the "Select" button.

Text:
To Paste from (eg.) a Word document into Contribute, and avoid bringing across unwanted font formatting, use Menu > Edit > Paste Text Only (Command+Shift+V)

To apply the correct SBS font style to a section of text, type or paste it into the page, highlight the text with your cursor, and from the Style drop-down menu (immediately below the Publish button), select an appropriate style from the list:

body
date
heading
title
medium
small


Newsletter:
Print the original Word document using the Macromedia Flashpaper printer option, and Save As newsletter.swf.

Publish to website using Macromedia (Adobe) Contribute (requires Version 3.1 or later), and selecting File > Publish File from My Computer.

This procedure will upload a copy of the Flashpaper file you have just created to the website, over-writing the previous issue, so long as the file name is the same (ie., newsletter.swf).

N.B. The dimensions of this Flashpaper file are preset to 580 pixels wide x 850 pixels high - these should not be changed.
