Instructions:

Location: http://www.np.k12.mn.us/classpages/admin/

Choose the short form if you want to link to a site outside of the district such as TeacherWeb. Use the long form, if you want to use your district Staff Webpage.

Username should be the first initial of your first name and your full last name. Some users will have usernames that are the first initial of your first name and the first seven letters of your last name. If this username does not work contact Bob Bell at 952-758-1785 or bbell@np.k12.mn.us.

The default password should be the same as the password you use to log on to your computer, to log in to SquirrelMail, or Paperless Forms. You will be given the option to change this password after you have logged in. Please remember your new password if you do change it. If you do forget contact Bob Bell at 952-758-1785 or bbell@np.k12.mn.us.

Your Phone, Email, and Password can be changed using the text boxes.

Your photo can be left blank, in which case your web page will not display your photo. This is also the photo that would be shown from the link on the staff directory.

The photo should be 150 pixels in width. The height of the photo doesn't matter much. An image that is wider than 150 pixels will throw off the formatting of the page.

When uploading a new photo there is no need to erase the current one if one exists. It will be erased automatically. .jpg FILES ONLY!

All html tags are removed from the title text fields if any exist and are placed within <h3></h3> on the display page.

In the text areas, use html tags (see sample HTML tags) to ensure proper formatting. For example, a line feed in the text area will not produce a line feed on the display page. To produce a line feed on the display page you must use the tag <br>.

The link name field shows up on the display page as a description for the link you set.

The link url field is the web address of the site you want to link to.

CAUTION: Don't put “http://” in the link url field since the display page does this automatically.
