Page Content

  • Titles should be "Title Cased" (initial caps).
  • Headline 2 should be used sparingly on a long page with many subsections. Initial cap every word.
  • Headline 3 is the primary subheader. Initial cap every word.
  • Links: Use relative links for peer pages and below; use absolute links for anything above peer pages.
  • Placement of the Submit and Reset form buttons: The Submit button should be placed to the left and the Reset button to the right.
  • Related Information: If you want to reference Web pages related to the topic of the page you are on that are outside of the current directory, use the following format:

    For more information related to this topic, see:

    Support: Using PKI Secure Certificates at Dartmouth
    Support: Web Authentication

    This format will help teach users that those related topics are found in a new area of the Web site, It also helps teach where information can be found. Computing has four categories: Resources, Services, Support, and About.

    When a Related Topic goes to another Web site on campus, for example, the Dean of the Faculty, use the format:

    Dean of the Faculty: Organization of the Faculty.

    When a link doesn't fall in the "related information" category, use Go to: for links that are elsewhere in the site structure, and See also: for links that are off site.
  • Document History: The document history should be entered in the format MM/DD/YY (for example, 06/28/05). Do not include your initials.
