New How-to Documentation

I’ve been working on site documentation, but it tends to take a back seat when in the middle of a busy production period. Nevertheless, I’ve manage to create two new tutorials of WIU web developers.

• Integrating Undergraduate Catalog Program Information on Department Websites
• Displaying WIU Webcalendar Events on Department Websites

The tutorials are intended for web designers with some experience using server side includes and/or a little PHP scripting. They are not for beginners.

You can find these tutorials at www.wiu.edu/web
