Hello. I just wanted to leave you a note about how the Psi Chi server appears to be setup and what I'm changing/adding to the mess.

For one, there are many years worth of web pages on the server and apparently as each new webmaster came on board they simply archived the old pages. These archived documents are in folders titled "old" and "old2". I am archiving the pages from the years 2003-2004 in the folder marked "Archive" (within the Public docs folder).

If you're unfamiliar with the way UW servers work, you may wonder what "dead.letter" is. I am not exactly sure, but I believe this file connects users with the "public_html" folder so that they can't view the contents of "old" and "old2". I have used a public "Archive" folder because I am linking to the old officers' pages from my updated "Officers.htm" page.

As far as my web pages, they were all done in Dreamweaver 8 (demo), so that they would be easy to edit. I have put the images used on the web pages in the main "public_html" folder, and pictures for galleries (e.g., from events), in a separate "Pictures" folder with its own folder for thumbnail images ("Thumbs").

I have also created a very detailed protocol for how to add new announcements to the Announcements page using Dreamweaver. You should have no problem adding announcements if you follow this protocol even if you have no experience with Dreamweaver whatsoever. This protocol is the pdf file called "Instructions_Announcements.pdf" located in the "public_html" directory.

If you have any questions you can attempt to contact me by sending e-mail to: dsd@u.washington.edu.

I just found this page on the National Psi Chi website: http://www.psichi.org/downloads/home.asp#Logos

You can go there if you need large copies of the Psi Chi logo for the web site, print, or t-shirt designs.

I hope this is useful. If you want the design I created for the website, just open the membership application I created and zoom in on the logo until it is large enough for your purposes (it will need to be larger than 100% for high quality prints), then simply press "Print Scrn" on your keyboard and open up an image editing program (e.g., Photoshop, Corel, etc.) and select Paste.

Best of luck!
