Using CommonSpot to Maintain
Ohio University Web Sites

This seminar is intended for people who have not previously been responsible for a Web site. It includes basic guidance on organization and planning for a new site, and issues to consider when first becoming responsible for an existing site. We anticipate that this will be one two-hour session.

Another useful resource for follow-up study after the seminar is Robust Page Design, which includes discussions of a number of issues that CommonSpot and other pagemasters will need to understand.
