Heidi R. I primarily use clipart from 3 sources: DiscoveryEducation.com - requires a link backlink to their site: [link removed]

One thing that I would like to caution about someone just starting out with a website (especially for education), is to refrain from using any animation. Specifically, animated graphics and scrolling text are not ADA compliant as they cannot be 'read' by screen readers.

Web School Calendar

by Sam in OK

Jul 1, 2009

Taking over the school web page. It is run on Front Page, which is the program I am most familiar with. I have been looking into free calendar options, but wonder if I should just buy one. What do you suggest?

Finding a site's ISP

by Marilyn B

Jul 10, 2009

Yesterday, I received a Google Alert that notified me of a link to my site. When I checked it, the site's owner had lifted one of my entire sections and posted it at her site. I wrote to ask her to remove it. She replied saying that it was taken down, but it's still there. If I write the ISP, I'm sure it will be removed. Is there a way to find out ...See More

Popeye If you know the IP you can use [link removed].

If you don't know the IP, maybe running trace rout through the command prompt will lead you to the IP.

If none of this helps, post the URL to the site and I'll see if I can find it for you.

Ron I would suggest a "real" host so that you can do all you want. For about fifty bucks a year you could get more server space than you would ever need. Plus some great tools, stats, WordPress, SQL, and more stuff that you may not need now, but may want to play with in the future.

GoDaddy, iPower, etc. are good. Do a search of "best web site ...See More

Preserving links in a PDF

by Kate

Aug 7, 2009

I have created a document in MS Word with several links to post on our school website. I tried using my Mac to convert the document into a PDF but when I do, the links no longer work. Does anyone know if there is a way to preserve links when doing a conversion to a PDF?

Some of our teachers use Microsoft Word to create webpages

by A problem -- maybe you can help

Aug 27, 2009

The page looks great online.

But the page that is the class newsletter -- loses formatting when printed. Text boxes seem to move to one side or the other.

Any help?

From the OP -- I may have found one problem. When I eliminated the text boxes and replaced them with invisible line tables, it seemed to solve the problem.

I'll check the other items as well. Thank you so much!

Elizabeth Chapin-Pinotti Hi, Have them password protect the newsletter document and add it as a link to the page they are going to upload.

Or if you have access to Adobe Acrobat -- turn it into a pdf and then add it as a link. Elizabeth
