A reminder to the populace of Dreiburgen: This site is only as good as the
information and content that reaches the web minister. Please remember to send
event announcements, articles, corrections and updates to
.
Information on subscribing to and unsubscribing from the baronial e-mail
lists is on the email list page.
1) All pages in all subdirectories on dreiburgen.org will adhere to
applicable SCA and Caid rules regarding web content. This includes having the
proper disclaimer where needed, and adhering to the photo and accessibility
policies. See the links section below.
2) All pages in the root directory of dreiburgen.org (i.e part of the actual
baronial site, as opposed to canton sites) will maintain the "look and
feel" of the site. The side navigation using the towers is optional when
content needs the extra width (see the Roll of Arms and second library pages
for examples), but pages for officers and other "main" sections of
the site should have the side navigation.
Maintaining the "look and feel" includes having the correct CSS
code, so that changes to the style sheet do reflect globally. Please do not
change other "template" sections of the code, either; if I have to
make global changes, I open all pages and do a "search and replace."
This doesn't work if the navigation/header/footer code has been changed.
Basically, you can do what you will with the main table cell (as long as you
use the CSS correctly), but please don't change anything else :-). If you need
help, ask. I'm willing to train.
3) All pages on the Dreiburgen site will validate to at
least HTML 4.01 Transitional. There are validators at
http://validator.w3.org where you can check
pages either on from hard drive or after uploading them, and there's also a CSS
validator available. Personally, I try to make my pages validate XHTML 1.0
Transitional, but while I recommend it I'm not requiring it of others.
4) Check your pages on more than one browser to make sure they don't
"break." I've done things that looked great in Opera but terrible in
Netscape. Remember that there are still a few people out there who, by choice
or otherwise, use pre-version-4 browsers, text-only browsers, and WebTV. No,
you don't have to make pages look good on WebTV, just readable. See
the links section below for some useful tools.
5) No mailto links. There is a javascript file to include email addresses in
a manner that's difficult for spambots to read. Please use it. If you want
help, please ask.
6) If you maintain a section of the baronial site, you are de facto a deputy.
Therefore, you should report to the baronial web minister preferably monthly,
but at the very least whenever significant changes are made to your section.
Reporting changes as they are made will make the periodic reports easier
:-).
7) I strongly discourage frames. If you're doing a non-barony section and
really want to use them, at least use them well. Don't trap people when they
click on a link to an outside site. Don't make the frames so that people with
lower resolution or smaller screens can't see everything.
