If you would like to contribute information either for a new page on the Ramsbury & Axford site, or to update an existing page with latest information, please take a little time to read the following hints on the content, presentation and file formats which are acceptable.

For a new page or when planning major changes to content, spend time sketching out on paper the general layout of your page, including photographs & diagrams as well as text. Whilst the "index" or "top" page for a club or organisation has a well-defined overall appearance, sub-pages can be in any format and can include or omit the standard header, footer and navigation menus (across the top and down the side). Have a look at pages produced by other organisations, and other web-sites, to get ideas.

When you have firmed up the design and content, assemble the components (photographs, diagrams and text) separately. Do not attempt to construct a composite electronic document or web page yourself.

If you find it convenient, the components can be as printed or hand-written documents, colour photoprints or slides, with a sketch included, all in an envelope and dropped into the Webmaster at 55 High Street.

However, many people find it more convenient to send the components electronically as attachments to the webmaster. In this case, you should employ the following formats for the attached files:

• all attachments should be in ZIPped files (see panel);
• photographs or scanned images should be copies of original files where possible. RAW image files produced by the more expensive digital cameras are not acceptable - do not save photographs "for the web" or "as a web image";
• text content should be prepared as an A4 document in Serif PagePlus, Microsoft Word or Publisher) or as a PDF document. If a PDF is supplied, please indicate if you would prefer the PDF to be presented "as is" on the web-site;
• if your organisation has a logo, please send it as a paper or electronic copy.
