Greetings,

Subject: Master’s Program Mini Websites

I’ve provided a mini website for your department’s Master’s Program. We decided not to use the old sites because the HTML code was not up to the new University web accessibility standard.

The School of Graduate of International and Interdisciplinary Studies (GIIS)’s Dean Susan Place and Webdesign08.com own the intellectual copyright for the design. But, you are more than welcome to change the text to meet your needs.

There is only one CSS style sheet that governs the entire site, so if you change an element of the structure (not text) it will change on all of the pages. In additional, the white textbox is designed to automatically extend when more text is added.

There are two links at the bottom of the page XHTML and CSS which you can use to validate the website page. I often will validate a page after I have made any changes.

I have provided you an image for your website which I obtained from your program on the 2009 catalog. You can easily change the image. The size of the image is 250 pixels wide. The height makes no difference. If you use a horizontal image, use a width of 300 pixels. Just be sure to change the “ALT” tag (description) on the html page to reflect what the image is.

To get started, all you need to do is put the folder on the disk in your CSU, Chico folder located on the server. I currently have the mini websites on the GIIS server, which I am linking to from the Master’s Program page. The links are listed below. You can rename your folder or leave it as it is. Once you put the folder on the server, please email me

with the link.

The mini websites are located at the links listed below on the GIIS server:

Political Science

http://www.csuchico.edu/giis/masterspols/index.html

Public Administration

http://www.csuchico.edu/giis/mastersadmin/index.html

If you add the folders from the disk to your “pols” folder (providing you do not put them in another folder) on the server, your links will be:

http://www.csuchico.edu/pols/masterspols/index.html

http://www.csuchico.edu/pols/mastersadmin/index.html

However, I noticed that you already have a folder titled “Graduate” on your server. if you put the sites in the graduate folder, your links will be as follows:

http://www.csuchico.edu/pols/graduate/masterspols/index.html

http://www.csuchico.edu/pols/graduate/mastersadmin/index.html

Please email me at kellyjking@sbcglobal when you decide on the links and I will update the Master’s Program.

If you need any assistance with the web sites, please feel free to call me. I will be in San Francisco May 1-3, but I can be reached on my cell phone at 1-530-588-5190.

Sincerely,

Kelly J. King
