Automated Home Page

Your default home page will initially consist of elements drawn from within the website and formatted automatically. This prevents your home page from accidentally being deranged by a manual layout error.

As you become familiar with the system, you will have the option to redesign your homepage using standard HTML and CSS formatting. "Coding and loading" and off line content management are not required. Locally designed pages are built from components maintained in a structured database, and pages are assembled in real time whenever they are requested, which means each visitor sees the most recent content.

In the adjacent example, images are drawn from the gallery system, while text and internal links to other parts of the website are drawn from the news, from member updates, from forums, and from other tool based content.

We're happy to welcome the alumni of the UCLA Daily Bruin, an award-winning newspaper that will soon celebrate its 100th anniversary.

The Bruin began as an adjunct part of the UC Berkeley newspaper shortly after the Los Angeles campus was founded in 1919.

Active alumni span the 20th Century from the 1950s and continue into the 21st. All former staff are invited to join as readers, reporters or editors. Contact the staff for more information.

In a startling upset, our Dawgs defeated the Eagles of Western last weekend. This was the first time in eleven outings that the locals had beaten the always dominant team from Western.

Coach Johnson said "This game was a career highlight for me."

Veteran player Bob Nevermind scored 37 to lead the team to victory.

Each article has an automated entry feature for one graphic and one link adjacent to the text, and knowledgeable users can publish additional links via standard markup. Click a title to see the format of individual articles in our own sample blog. Many other conventional publishing features are available.
