Reviewing and updating content It is important that the content of the University College website is: up to date written in a style that's appropriate for its audience easy to scan Keep your objectives in mind If your objectives have changed over time, does the content reflect that? Check the website says what you need to say and gives your audiences what they are looking for. Decide whether current material is outdated or redundant. Content Ensure all information is up to date and accurate. Always check spelling and grammar. Remove outdated information.

The news items on the home page are the two most recent items added (based on the Date Released) in the /aboutmarjon/newsandevents/ucpmarjonnews/ section of the website.

1.        Existing content for all of  the Right Hand boxes exists @ Home\Style Assets\Right Hand Column. If you want to change content on all the other pages change it here and as it is mirrored content it will update on the other sections. 2    We Created a sub branch entitled ‘Right Hand Column’ @ Home\Courses\Courses\Course Search by Subject Area\Sport, Outdoor, Coaching and PE\ MA Applied Sport Development and mirrored content from ‘Home\Style Assets\Right Hand Column’ for the two pieces of content other than the laptop one. 3.        We duplicated the branch ‘Home\Courses\Courses\Course Search by Subject Area\Sport, Outdoor, Coaching and PE\ MA Applied Sport Development\Right Hand Column’ into ‘Home\Courses\Courses\Course Search by Subject Area\Sport, Outdoor, Coaching and PE\MA Physical Activity & Health in Applied Sport Dev’ with the following options: Section to Copy into – the section you are copying into Content Options – Mirror

I created two ‘Pink Quick Links’ @  ‘Home\Courses\Pink Quick Links’ with link to the ‘Open Day’ and ‘Request a Prospectus’ with no images  which mirror to the top levels of: \Research \Partners \Facilities                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      \Alumni \About Marjon and cascade down those branches . If you need to make an amendment (eg update the date of the next Open day) then change the content  @ ‘Home\Courses\Pink Quick Links’ and this will be mirrored across to the other sections. If you wish to add the links anywhere else then duplicate the section ‘Pink Quick Links’ from  ‘Home\Courses\Pink Quick Links’ to the top level of the branch you want it to exist in and select to mirror the content.
