Go to Chemistry Homepage

Secondary Page Heading: <h1>

Check the links to your home page

The Department of Long Nomenclature graphic and the breadcrumb link to "Home" are set to link back to "index.html." Be sure to update these links as necessary to link back to your home page.

Don't forget the print style sheet

When setting up the templates for your site, be sure to change the text in the html to your unit's information.

The print code is near the top of the html and looks like this:

<!--BEGIN WORDMARK AND UNIT IDENTIFICATION FOR PRINT -->
<!--Use this code along with the print.css to retain the University's wordmark on you printed Web pages and to identify your unit -->
<div class="leftprint">
<img src="/assets/img/smMwdmk.gif" alt="University of Minnesota" width="216" height="55" hspace="10" align="left" />
</div>
<div class="rightprint"><b>University of Minnesota</b><br />
http://www.umn.edu/<br />
</div>
<!--END WORDMARK AND UNIT IDENTIFICATION FOR PRINT -->

Bulleted lists

The original template code required users to add a style to a bulleted list in order to make bullets or numbers in a numbered list.

The style sheets and html have been updated to allow users to make lists without adding a style.

A little link etiquette

When making a link that is going to open a new browser window, tell people. Opening a new window can be very disorienting for someone using a screen reader. Opening a new window that goes to another page within your own site is even more disorienting and uneccessary.

If you have a link that leads to a download of any kind, tell people. The preferred method for U of M sites is to indicate the type of file that will download and how large it is in parentheses after the link. For example: (2.1 MB PDF)

Change meta and alt tags

Don't forget to change meta and alt tags! The description and meta tags in the HTML at the beginning of all templates should be changed to reflect what is on the page.

See more about meta tag information on the eCommunication Standards site.

When you change or add images, remember to change the alt tag! For example, the alt tag for the graphic heading on this page reads "Go to unit's home page." That should be updated to spell out the name of your unit.
