Introduction
From their offices across campus, KSC's page editors are critical to the ongoing success of the official web site. The purpose of this guide is to describe their role as well as the procedures and issues related to their duties. The first section describes the appointment and role of the page editor and the second section outlines style rules for maintaining the KSC web site.

Page Editors
Each department with an official web site on the KSC web server should have a page editor, who will edit the content of the site. The department should regularly monitor the site and give updated content to the page editor, who will make the updates via Macromedia HomeSite. The director of the department will either appoint a page editor from his/her department or agree to share a page editor with another department. Directors are encouraged to share page editors in order increase efficiency and make the best use of limited resources such as training and support. Page editors must be KSC staff or faculty.

Each page editor is responsible for purchasing a copy of Macromedia HomeSite. College Relations (CRO) will assist page editors with installation, configuration, and software issues whenever possible. In lieu of support by College Relations, departments can seek help from Macromedia's web site at www.macromedia.com. All official KSC web pages should be written and edited with HomeSite.

Page editors are encouraged to attend training sessions and user groups. Page editor training will include extensive HTML training, as well as an orientation to the KSC Management Plan, Web Policy, Web Style Guide, and HomeSite software. Contact the webmaster to sign up for a training session. The webmaster will provide additional support for page editors on request.

In addition to page editors, departments that update content via web applications may need to appoint data editors, staff members responsible for maintaining accurate and up-to-date data sources used in online web applications. In some cases the same person will server as page editor and data editor. Data editors should attend a training session for each new web application they are responsible for.

Page editors are given individual user accounts on the web server. Each user is assigned an account name and password that controls access to appropriate content files. Users may not share their password and must take precautions to keep their password from being misused. In the event that a password is lost or compromised, please contact the webmaster immediately.
