Start with 3 below and work downwards. Continue
as long as you feel comfortable with what you are doing. You do not have
to do everything. Every step is helpful. We will guide you along!
Make all fonts on the page Arial:
Set the body of the text to font size 2 (10 pt)
Set the footer (the text under the colored line
at bottom of the page) to font size 1 (8 pt)
Set the main heading of the page (above this
is "Detailed Guidelines") to font size 5 (18 pt). Set additional heading
lines (like
"Kidlink
WebShiner" above to font size 4 (14 points). Artist recognition should
be set at size 1 (8 point), and other text in the header section to size
3 (12 points).
Note: Often, there may be codes like <h1>, </h1>, <h2>,
</h2>, <h3>, </h3>, <big>, <small> in the hmtl
code (source) of the page. If you feel comfortable wth it, please replace
these codes by font size codes. Double check that you are not removing bold
face texts where needed.
If missing, add a top navigation bar (like
at the top of this page), and a standard page footer
(like below). Note: Links in these sections differ
by directory. To get it right, "steal" from one of the other pages in the
same directory (not the index.html page!). To find a list of the other pages
in a directory, edit the web address of the page you are working on to get
the dirinfo.html page. Example: the dirinfo.html page of the directory of
this page is at
http://www.kidlink.org/english/general/vol/dirinfo.html
. From this list, it is easy to find pages with the needed lines of text.
Contact us if you cannot find it. More about
the top navigation
bar.
Check if the words in the page's title
makes sense, and correct if needed: The word "Kidlink" should be part of
the title, often preceding the text as in "Kidlink:" (The title of this page
is "Kidlink: WebShiner Guidelines". In FrontPage, right click at the body
of the page's text, and select "Page Properties". You'll find it high up
on the "General" tab).
Explanation
we give to translators for your information.
If missing, add a page description . (The
description ib this page is "Information for Kidlink volunteers." In FrontPage,
right click at the body of the page's text, select "Page Properties", and
then the "Custom" tab. Click "Add" under "Custom", add "description" by "Name",
and type the page description text below.).
Page length: If the page is so long that
the contents cannot be viewed without scrolling, consider cutting it into
logical pieces. Example:
The page about
subscribing was split into
three pages.
If needed to avoid scrolling, move image,
heading, and artist recognition up as done
at this page if needed.
(Making a table with two columns, and put the image in the cell to the left.)
Usually, padding=6 is needed to avoid that image and text get to close to
each other.
If you feel comfortable about doing it, check
if there are <STYLE type="text/css"> commands in the
<HEAD> section of the page's html as on this page. If not, add the
codes between <STYLE type="text/css"> and </STYLE> on this page
by copying and pasting.
Work at your own pace. Each page you deliver
will be highly appreciated! Your contribution will be recognized in the footer
of the page as done below ("Page enhanced by Jens Jensen,
Denmark").
Note: Our pages are being translated into many
languages, and some of these are written from right to left. To make it easy
for translators, our design must be simple. Also, our pages should have the
same look and feel as our other pages.
