Page Comparison

If your department has decided to allow both Faculty and/or Graduate Students to edit their own pages then the first few steps that must be taken isare: 

1. 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. 
2. 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. 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 - 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. 
3. Please bookmark the login page for you your 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
4. You may be required to do a simple math equation each time you log in for security reasons

Once you've created an account you will have full access to edit your own personal profile page that your SAO or office manager has created for you as either a faculty or graduate student. Here are some basics on inputting information into your own personal page.

If you have written an introductory paragraph about yourself, this would go in the main paragraph box - please note that there are field boxes found further down the page to include information such as Research, Education, Books:

You will notice there are quite a few formatting options in the toolbar. These are rules for basic text manipulation:

...

1. Scrolling down, you will see fields marked with asterisks - these are the required fields that must be filled out for each person to have them appear on the website. Often the required fields are:
   1. First Name, Last Name, Position Title, Email, Phone
2. Once the required fields are complete you can basically fill in all fields you would like to include information for (i.e. office hours, Research) - many of these boxes will allow you to add styling such as bullet points, shading, etc. - please try to keep styling consistent throughout the people section of the website
3. Towards the bottom of the page you will notice that you're able to add personal website, CV attachments. Click "ADD FILE" and upload from your desktop.
4. VERY IMPORTANT - you must select from the "People Categories" what section of the People portion of the website that person will appear in - your SAO or Office Manager should have already done this for you but if not please instruct them to do so for you. 

ADDING PHOTOS

f If you're wanting to insert an image onto your people page on the website, please note that unlike all other images on the website, the display size of the image you place for each person is already predetermined in regards to display size. 

...

1. Click once on the image within the page and a pencil/x will appear - select the pencil to edit (clicking X will delete the photo so be careful!) - then select "edit image" from within the display box
2. The first four icons displayed will allow you to adjust the alignment of the image
3. If you wish to crop the photo, there is the option to do this. If you are unsure how please see instructions on this page
4. Clicking As already noted, clicking the X at the beginning of the process will allow you to delete the image from the page
