This page outlines tips and tricks to updating the NewHopeUCC.com site.  Please use these to guidelines when updating the site. 

FrontPage Tips

1. When adding content to a page
   1. Paste the content into the page using Edit --> Paste Special --> Normal paragraphs with line breaks
   2. Use Format --> Remove Formatting to remove formatting that should not be used.  (We use style sheets instead.)
   3. Do not use Format --> Font or Font or Color dropdowns. 
   4. Use the Style drop down to apply the formatting to the text. 
2. Do NOT drag a table cell boarder using the mouse.  This will modify the width of the table to be an absolute width (td width="160").  I most cases you want the width to be a percentage so that the width of the table expands with the table.
3. Do not use colons ":" at the end of headings.
4. Use head 3 for the standard heading within a document. 
5. Use the Cascading Style Sheet for formatting font size, style and colors.  This will make all of the text look uniform across the entire site.  Read the following document for tips on using Cascading Style Sheets. 

Organization

1. If adding a graphic to the web site using the following guidelines:
   1. If the graphic is used only within that directory, then the graphic should be saved within the Images directory that is within that directory.
   2. If the graphic is used in more directories than in the current directory, then the graphic should be saved within the Images directory from the root of the site. 

Coding

1. If adding an Email address, use the following JavaScript code for the Email address so that the Email address is not picked up by spam web crawlers.

   <script language="JavaScript">
   <!--
   var name = "Info";
   var domain = "NewHopeUCC.com";
   document.write('<a href=\"mailto:' + name + '@' + domain + '\">');
   document.write(name + '@' + domain + '</a>');
   //-->
   </script>
