If your department has decided to allows allow both Faculty and/or Graduate Students edit their own pages then the first few steps that must be taken is:
- Requesting a Username and Password for the departmental website from your SAO or Office Manager - the SAO or Office Manager will first have to create an actual user page for you before supplying you with a Username/Password to edit the page.
- They will use the first string of your UCLA email (i.e. jsmith@humnet.ucla.edu would have a username of jsmith) to create a username, and you. You'll receive an email from the software we use to build the website, WordPress, that will prompt you to click a link to login with username and supplied password - once logged in it will allow you to change your password at this time. We always recommend you use the same username supplied to you.
- Please bookmark the login page for you website which in most instances will be the URL of the landing page of your website along with the string attached of "/wp-admin" - ex: nelc.ucla.edu/wp-admin
- You may required to do a simple math equation each time you log in for security reasons

While the title of the page’s font size is predetermined, you can alter the size of text within the paragraph box by pulling down the box marked PARAGRAPH. We recommend the use of Header 3 for large text to create a consistency of font size throughout the website. That being said we don't recommend ever using text sizes that are larger than other text on the page, and to always use basic paragraph text in almost all instances of an introductory paragraph.
The top toolbar will allow you to add:
...
- Under the main paragraph text box, directly below Person Details, you will find a option called "Photo" - click Add Image
- Find the image you want to insert from your desktop, or use the drag/drop function of the desktop.
- Hit Publish or Preview Click the Preview button in the PUBLISH box to view the photo on the website page.
Occasionally when you've uploaded a photo it will appear distorted or cropped funny - please see this page for more information if this is the case
