1. Web Editors Meeting 4/16/2012 Sac Hall, room 161 3-4:30

2. IV: Best Practices O Photos: O Always edit your photos before uploading them into the WCM if possible. O Photo editing software: Photoshop, MS Word, MS Paint. O WCM has some photo editing features, but limited mostly to resizing, do not resize multiple times. O Use proper naming conventions for images. No spaces, descriptive, include file type suffix (JPEG, etc) O Keep all photos in the image folder

3. IV: Best Practices O Naming Conventions: O Keep names short, avoid references to editions, file/doc name should be descriptive. O Including the date or month/year is a good idea. O Avoid spaces in the file name, use underscores instead O Always include a descriptive “alt text” for the image. This will help comply with accessibility requirements.

4. IV: Best Practices O Organization: O Always keep same files with like files. O Docs and pdfs in the DOC folder, images in the Image folder, etc. O For web pages, reduce links when possible. O Keep navigations and menus as clean, allows for better surfing by users. O Do not directly link PDFs or DOCs in the left-hand navigation. O Look at other model department pages for inspiration or reference.
