To change the information that you provide regularly, you
don't necessarily have to be ediitng web pages all the time.
There are various mechanisms to help you include content in
your pages that is maintained elsewhere. The University is
currently investigating Content Management Systems (CMS) which
can help in maintaining a web site by separating the content
from teh web pages design, thereby making updating pages a
more technically straightforward task. Contact the web
team for more details of this project.
You can also take advantage of the many free web-based services
that provide you with regularly changing content for your
site. This is usually news items, or articles on your area
of interest, or it might be some thought for the day or hints
and tips of relevance. You copy some code from the site and
paste it into your web pages, and that's it.

our on-line guide. A new
S&EDU seminar introducing the role of scripting languages
in web sites will cover the basic concepts behind Content
Management Systems.
