Instructions for Web Submissions
last updated 30.05.06

Webmaster: Dr. Kris Coburn Holtman

How to Submit

1. Text

E-mail as an unformatted Word document, or even better, a simple text file such as Notepad (as Word adds a lot of extra code when converted to html code). Notepad is free for Microsoft Office users (start, all programs, accessories, notepad). Again, please make sure it is unformatted, including no indentations, font color changes, etc., unless bold, capitalization, or other markups are necessary. Include the page on which it is to appear, clearly marked.

For example: Activities page text goes here, phone number, etc.

It should already be spell checked, proofed for typographical errors, and edited if possible. I will put it in just how I receive it unless I happen to catch things before.

2. Images

I can incorporate bitmap, jpeg, gif, png, tiff, and just about any other file type of files (except some psd files) into the website. Please provide them in jpeg if possible as these are compressed. Jpegs will download faster for those with only dial up service who may visit our site since we already have some flash up there.

Crop and size the pictures to no less than 150x150 and no greater than 200x200 pixels or they won't show up well on the web. Again, specify on which pages you would like them and any accompanying text (such as a title or caption for the image). If you are intending to submit a number of pictures for a specific event, please make sure all pictures are of the same file type and the same size. I can then create a slideshow of the images so it takes up less space on the page itself.

These may not be able to be placed in a slideshow on the day I normally work on them, especially if there are a lot of changes, but they will be eventually that month, assuming it doesn't become a huge project. Given the limited amount of time to work on the other changes on the website, please limit the pictures per each event to 15.

Please consider getting permission to put pictures of people from church events on the web. If the are submitted to me, I am assuming you have that permission.

3. Text or images with hyperlinks

These should have the entire link specified, so add the "http://" before the specific address, to ensure that they will function properly on upload. These should be tested before sending them to me. Send everything as e-mail attachments to the appropriate Committee Chairperson.

Depending on how many changes you would like and the types of changes requested, it could prove to be very time intensive for me to both collect all requests, sort them out and compile them into a list, and then actually make the changes to the code. Specifically, sending a lot of e-mails with small changes could prove to be very time intensive.

4. PDFs

Convert to jpeg if possible. If it was a word document and you would like to maintain it's appearance and have it look on the web like it does on your computer, then convert it to pdf (portable document file) using Adobe or some other software.

5. Video

Video should be fully prepared for the web. This includes editing to include the sections you want and recombining the clips into full "movies", however short, but please no longer than five minutes; we probably have a gb transfer rate limit with the hosting we have right now and any more than that could easily put us over the limit. These should then be converted to MPEG format, 2, 3, or 4 for compression or at most, wmv (wave media video) files.

If you would like me to do this, I can, but cannot do it without charging a fee due to the time intensive nature of these types of projects. Please contact me regarding this or other video/dvd projects regarding the details.

6. Deadlines for Updates

I will update the first Friday of the month, so will need the to me by very early that day. For each person who makes a request, it would be very helpful if you could please include your daytime telephone number in case I have questions or clarifications about what you would like done.
