What is the address for my web site?
The original web sites were located at http://www.ca.uky.edu/countyname
(type in the full name of your county and not the words “countyname”).
The newer county website address is http://ces.ca.uky.edu/countyname.
How do I open my Web?
Open FrontPage, go to File, then click on Open Web. In the
box that says Folder Name type http://ces.ca.uky.edu/countyname
then click open. It will prompt you for a username and password.
This is the same username and password you’ve always used to upload pages.
If it asks you for a domain, leave that blank. If you are not sure what
your username and/or password are, contact the CIT Helpdesk.
This will bring up a list of folders on the left side of your screen.
You are now looking at all of the files and folders that are on the server.
How do I change the text on my homepage?
If you want to change the text on your homepage from
the standard text, simply create a file called maintext.htm and save it in the
top folder (http://ces.ca.uky.edu/countyname).
Can I have a hit counter on my pages?
By default, hit counters are
not set up to work on the county web sites. You must notify the helpdesk
if you would like to have a hit counter on your web site. Monthly reports
stating how many hits a site has received are now available at the following
location.
http://www.ca.uky.edu/internal/reports/counties/
Can I have a form or other "special" function on my pages?
By default, forms and other "special" functions are not set up to work
on the county web sites. While they are allowed, you will need to contact the CIT Helpdesk to have it enabled.
If you have additional questions about a function, please contact the CIT Helpdesk.
How do I change my files?
Do not edit default.asp.
Below is a list of links and where you can find the corresponding file to edit.
For example lets say you want to change the text on the 4-H Youth Development page.
You would double click on the youthdev folder to expand the contents of the folder.
Then you would double click on the file maintext.htm.
This will display the page on the right hand side of the screen.
Simply make any changes and click on the save button.
Go to your browser and click on the refresh button and your changes will appear.
This same process will work for any other file that you might add to the web site.

| *News | | news |
| Upcoming Events | | events |
* State News will always appear. If you edit the maintext.htm file it will add links under the State News Link.
I've got links to pages we don't use, like Horticulture. How do I get rid of that link?
Delete the maintext.htm file in the appropriate folder.
The next day the link will disappear. If later on you want the link to
reappear, just create a new page in the corresponding folder and name it
maintext.htm. The following links are optional and can be removed by
deleting the maintext.htm file in the corresponding folder.

| Horticulture | | horticulture |

Which pages are generated automatically?
The following links are automatically written by a script each night and if you edit the file it will be overwritten that night.

What pages will the CIT Center change for me?
If you want to change the text or add a picture on your homepage or upcoming
events simply send the text or picture to the CIT Helpdesk and they will
change it for you. The CIT Helpdesk will put links to .pdf files for newsletters.
How do I create a .pdf?
First you need to install a full version of Adobe Acrobat.
Then create the document in any
program you want (ex: MS Word, Publisher, etc.) and save the document. Next go
to File menu and select Print. Change the printer to Adobe PDFWriter and click OK. You
will need to give the document a name and location where you want to save it
(ex: My Documents) you may also enter a title, subject, or author. After you
say ok it will bring you back to the document you were working on. You may
close that and go to the location you specified the .pdf was to be saved and
open it by double clicking on the filename.
How do I get my file on the web?
Highlighting the folder you would like to add the file to, click on the file menu, and
select import. Next, click on "add file", select the file to be
added, and click "open". The file should now show up on the import
list. Click on "ok" to start uploading the file to the web site.
The file should now show up on the folderlist on the left. You can now create hyperlinks
to the file (through the "insert" menu) or rename the file. For example, you
could delete the original maintext.htm file, upload a new html file, and then rename the newer
file to maintext.htm. This would make the page that you uploaded the new
default page to be loaded for that section.
What is not supported on the FrontPage Server?
You can not use frames in your web. These are
not supported by the server and are not ADA compliant. If you need further
explanation about what frames are please contact the CIT Helpdesk.
If I have other questions, who can I contact?
You should contact the CIT Helpdesk. You can e-mail the CIT Helpdesk at
cithelp@uky.edu or call 1-800-900-4447.
