GUIDELINES for Submitting Items to Appear on the Website

Thank you! Your contributions to the website are greatly appreciated! Please follow these technical guidelines to minimize efforts to post your materials...

  • No pdf filesPDF files are hard to process for a webpage and make a bad user experience.  If the sole purpose of the .pdf is to be downloaded by members, you can discuss options with the webmaster.
  • TEXT can be sent as Word or Google Doc or first generation email body (not forwarded email text where all the lines are indented). Please do not underline, center, tab, add spaces, use auto numbering, hanging indents, bullet points, add empty paragraphs, etc. to make the text look nice on your page.  If you need the text to have special formatting, please indicate this in a separate note to the webmaster. 
  • PHOTOS  should be separate files, not embedded with the text.  Important: before sending photos, please change the file name of each picture to a short name that describes the image.  e.g. Lamas at Microscope 1, 
  • TABLES: Anything you'd like to appear on the website as a table, e.g.  schedules, lists, directory of names and numbers, etc, should be submitted as a separate spreadsheet file  (eg Excel  or Google Sheets) or as a Word Table.  Please do not send an image of the chart (e.g no .pdf or .jpg of the table) - they won't work on a webpage.    

Thanks!
