ADDING POSTS
- The first few words are important, they may be all that show in some contexts.
- Tag the post appropriately.
ADDING PAGES
- Indicate the position in the structure via the page side panel under “Page Attributes.” Assign a parent and an order. I usually go by tens to give some wiggle room. The site map is “999” to always come last.
- If the page is to appear in the menu, add to Appearance>Menu in the appropriate position.
- Check the site map to see everything is A-OK.
HEADINGS
FIRST LEVEL HEADING, ASSIGN “Heading 5” STYLE FROM THE PULLDOWN. ALL CAPS.
Second level heading, assign “Heading 6” style from the pulldown. Sentence caps.
BODY TEXT
Body
- assign “Paragraph” style from pulldown
- no double spaces after a period
- no double paragraph returns
- no initial spaces for indent
- lower case where possible–as Dick Schmidt says, “It’s not German!”
Pull quotes
This “pull quote” formatting is accomplished by clicking on the ” button in the toolbox above.
BULLETS/NUMBERING
- Use the bullet and numbering tools in the tool box.
- Bullets are a good way to reduce and simplify running text that lists a number of items.
- Avoid numbering unless it has a specific purpose like steps in order (see “adding pages” above).
SPECIAL FORMATTING
Facilities names
Always use full name of facility following this formula. That way users will not be confused about what is being referred to.
Building+room#+Name of Facility, example: “Moore 258A Meeting (Skype) Room”
Hawaiian names
- ex: Hawai‘i (‘okina = option+] on a Mac)
- ex: Mānoa (vowel with macron = option-a+vowel on a Mac, US Extended enabled). If you can’t do this, copy and paste the correct formatting from elsewhere on the site.
Hours
Spell out days; use “en” dash (option+-) w/o spaces; use “a” and “p” for morning and afternoon; shortest possible number, example:
Monday–Friday, 8a–3:30p
Phone numbers
Use dot format; include area code, example:
808.956.0000
Emails
Link emails using the following format:
mailto:name@hawaii.edu?subject=email subject line
Italics
Use italics for special contact info or for note and warnings, examples:
For tape sales, email Daniel Tom or call 808.956.8047.
