Editing Pages on the Faculty Web Server
If you've never created or edited a web page before, Weinberg IT will install Adobe Contribute, an easy-to-use web authoring tool, and a "starter page" for you to add your content to. See Contribute for Faculty Web Pages for more information.
For advanced users that have web authoring experience or want to manage a larger site, Weinberg IT also provides Adobe Dreamweaver Templates for Faculty Web Pages.
If you're already familiar with another tool or prefer to do your coding by hand, you can also connect to the server with a number of other applications.
If you have any questions, contact web@wcas.northwestern.edu.
Adobe Contribute Tips
#1: To create a line break without a line space, hold the shift key as you tap the "Enter" key.
#2: Need to indent a single line, or one or more paragraphs, of text? Use the indent button (see image) NOT the space bar. Why? Because using the spacebar will result in a string of non-breaking spaces that could size differently on different browsers, resulting in a ragged left margin, or create awkward and unnatural sentence wrapping.
Detailed information about using Contribute is also available on this site.
