By logging into RedDot you actually have access to a very powerful piece of software that will empower you to edit your website without knowing anything about HTML code!

Because of this, there are a lot of things you can add and change on your department’s website without any outside interference.

Here’s the rundown of what you’re expected to be able to do yourself:

• Text – You can add and remove text content pretty much anywhere you see a red dot.
  Yes, but how?
       
• Text formatting – You can emphasize text, strongly emphasize text, denote something as less important, designate something as deleted or inserted, and more. You can also apply styles for headings and subheadings to denote sections of text and information, and mark areas of computer code appropriately. See this page for a complete list of formatting options with examples.
  Yes, but how?
   
• Links – You can make links to other Web sites and pages on your Web site. You can also link to PDF documents or images.
  Yes, but how?
     
• Tables - You might have inherited a page with a chart or table on it, or you might need to display tabular data. You can edit tables in the Text Editor.
  Yes, but how?
     
• Pictures  - There is a dedicated red dot for inserting pictures on most pages (300 pixels wide), and you can also place them in the main content area of your page if you have a figure that needs to be larger than that space (up to 620 pixels wide).
  Yes, but how?
    

Of course, there are other things that need to be done to your website from time to time, and Web Design & Support is here to help you with that stuff. Find out what we do.
