Page Footer
The footer is the area at the bottom of the page. If you are using
the MHC Document Interface Wizard,
you may select all or none of these options to include on the bottom
of your Web pages.
We encourage you to use positional names and email addresses, for
example: "Webmaster" rather than a person's name, for
one or the other of made/maintains. Which one you decide upon is
up to you.
MHC Copyright Message
This feature is an option in step 4 of the DI Wizard. If you click
in the box provided, the copyright message will appear at the bottom
of your pages. To turn the copyright message off, select the box.
The page that this links refers to includes what you can and can
not do with MHC copyright materials.
Page Creator
The page creator is the equivalent of the author of a book. The
creator is responsible for the original content of the page. You
can select this option in Step 2: Document Attribution of the DI
Wizard.
If you do not use the Wizard, use the following command to specify
the page creator:
.MADE Creator= [URL=] [Email=]
The first parameter, Creator, gives the full name of the page's
author. The optional URL parameter gives a link to the author's
WWW home page. The optional Email parameter provides his or her
email address. For example:
<!--.MADE "Dan Wilga" "http://www.mtholyoke.edu/~dwilga"
"dwilga"-->
If you leave out the URL param, you need to name the email param
like this:
<!--.MADE "Dan Wilga"
Email="dwilga"-->
Page Maintainer
The page maintainer is responsible for keeping the page in working
shape. In some cases this will include updating the content of the
page. In other cases, it will include simply making sure that the
page displays properly and that all of the HTML anchors from the
page function properly. You can select this option in Step 2: Document
Attribution of the DI Wizard.
If you do not use the Wizard, use the following command to specify
the page maintainer:
.MAINTAINS Maintainer= [URL=] [Email=]
The first parameter, Maintainer, gives the full name of the page's
maintainer. The optional URL parameter gives a link to the person's
WWW home page. The optional Email parameter provides his or her
email address. For example:
<!--.MAINTAINS "Dan Wilga" "http://www.mtholyoke.edu/~dwilga"
"dwilga"-->
If you leave out the URL param, you need to name the email param
like this:
<!--.MADE "Dan Wilga"
Email="dwilga"-->
Date Page Last Modified
This feature is included in the DI Wizard. The date will automatically
update each time you save. Including the date your page was last
update is beneficial to your visitors, as it lets them know that
your information is current.
If you do not use the DI, Dreamweaver offers an option to insert
a date, which you can choose to update automatically each time the
page is saved.
MHC Text Links
Although the home page of a Web site is the main gateway into your
site, it is not the only entrance that visitors may use to enter
your site. Therefore it is important that navigation to your main
Web pages be included on all your pages, to enable your visitors
to navigate to anywhere on your Web site and from any Web page.
Your users will appreciate not having to scroll back to the top
of the page just to get to the links again. In addition, this helps
your site to be ADA (American Disabilities Act) compliant.
The DI wizard does not incorporate your site's main navigation
links. You will need to insert the text links in the footer section
of your template.
In step 4 of the DI wizard, you have the option to include the
MHC text links at the bottom of your pages. If you click in the
box provided, the links will appear at the bottom of your pages.
To turn the MHC text links off, select the box.
