When submitting text and photos for the website, please take the following into account:
- Submit plain text only, fancy formatting will be ignored, as the website theme controls the look of our pages. Word documents are OK, but don’t worry about formatting, as it will be largely ignored
- We use pictures extensively on the site, they should be high quality, large format (at least 1024 pixels for the larger side) – please don’t submit compressed, tiny pictures, because they won’t look good
- Pictures should never be embedded in a document – they can’t be extracted and transferred to the site. Pictures must be in separate files, so that they can be uploaded to the site. Please use our Google Photos album when you have more than one picture: https://photos.app.goo.gl/jk6H5KvFpimzdJmM8
- Acceptable picture formats: .jpg, .jpeg, .png – if in doubt, check with us
- PDF documents are not a good idea: our website design allows for great control over post layouts and placement of pictures, without having recourse to unwieldy PDFs. It’s a fallacy to think that it’s possible to control the appearance of a post, as it must be resizable (or responsive) to adapt to the variety of devices our visitors use. We must take into account the fact that a sizeable proportion of our visitors access our site through tablets and smartphones, which cannot deal with pages with a fixed size, designed to be read only on large screens. Our website is designed to reflow and resize, to adapt to devices of any size. PDFs are only acceptable for official documents, e.g. accounts, legal documents like statutes, but never for normal posts.
- If in doubt, please contact the web administration team: webmaster@u3ajavea.com
Our web site is responsive: it adapts to the kind of device you use to access it. The picture above shows, side by side, how the same page looks when accessed using a laptop, a tablet or a smartphone
