Questions & Answers About Submitting Website Items

1. How do I submit an article from my committee for the web site?

Send an e-mail with your item either attached to the e-mail or in the body of the e-mail message. If it is not possible to send as a MS Word attachment, sending an “html”, “htm”, “RTF” (rich text format), or “PDF” submission is also acceptable.

2. How do I get something on the web site linked to another site?

It is suggested that you not copy and paste information from the web site into your item, because it is much simpler just to provide a link to the information. Simply provide the URL of the page you want to link to (like below), and the Resource Center Staff will insert the link: Insert a link to http://www.nals.org/[insert page].html here

3. Are there different rules on who to send my articles to?

• Calendar Events: State Association calendar events are submitted directly on our State Association Calendar of Events page. There is a SUBMIT EVENT link and your request will be sent to the Resource Center. For the calendar, it is best to use the online submission form as it will be submitted in the proper format.

• Newsletters: Regional Director Newsletters should be sent to the e-mail address of the Web Team member designated for that purpose. A direct link is provided on the Newsletter Index page currently at www.nals.org/newsletters/regionalnews/

• E-News Items: The items for E-News are collected from various committees by the Marketing Committee. The newsletter is then compiled by the NALS Resource Center staff and distributed by e-mail and posted to the web site. If you have items to be placed into E-News, send your items to the relevant committee, with the request that they submit your item to the E-News Editor.

• New Member List: All new member information is provided by the NALS Resource Center staff and posted by a member of the Web Team.

• Certification Exam Pass Lists: The pass lists are provided to the Web Team by the NALS Resource Center staff, with the date the list should be posted and then posted by a member of the Web Team on that specific date.

• Conference Information: Members of the Web Team work with the NALS Resource Center staff to maintain and post information for upcoming conferences.
