How to Set up a Lab Website Step How to Set Up a Lab Website A lab website is a great way to communicate your research. The college offers three avenues for setting up a website: 1. a free, WordPress based platform set up by the Communications Office 2. an at-cost option set up by the CVM Continuing Education Office 3. an at-cost option developed by an outside vendor and incorporated by the university’s Office of Information Technology Below is information on how to navigate all options. Step One • There are two important aspects to keep in mind with any website option: o content you include o adherence to branding • Be sure to gather your information and organize it in a way you find best represents your lab. Information to Consider Including • Research Emphasis • Publications • Current Projects • News, Awards, Presentations • Research team members • Opportunities • Contact information • Here is information for keeping the website on brand: https://brand.ncsu.edu/ Step Two • Reach out to the communications office about your website needs and what you envision, including the intended audience and what you wish to communicate. • It is highly suggested that you seek guidance on the various options by scheduling a meeting with the communications team (Tom Krupa and Mike Charbonneau) • Please populate the template provided by the communications office with the information you would like to add to your website Step Three • Once you have your content, you can decide if you want a Wordpress site or an at-cost site. • If you are going with the free in-house version, Tom Krupa ([email protected]) can take the template you filled out and set up the structure of the lab website. After that, it will be up to the lab group to maintain the website content. • If you are going with the paid version set up by the CE Office, John Cole ([email protected]) will be the point person. These sites will still be branded as NC State but are generally not going to be found searching on the main CVM site. They can be shared by the lab or listed on a profile page. The CE Office charges $100 per hour for development. • You can assign administrative privileges to the CE Office so they can set the site up for you. Whoever makes the request will be the administrator of the site, and responsible for maintaining it and providing content. Examples: • https://lucaslab.wordpress.ncsu.edu/ • https://infectiousdiseaseresource.wordpress.ncsu.edu/ • https://zooexoticcancer.wordpress.ncsu.edu/ • https://buchlerlab.wordpress.ncsu.edu/ • https://cvmhousesystem.wordpress.ncsu.edu/ • https://cruselab.wordpress.ncsu.edu/ • https://academyofeducators.wordpress.ncsu.edu/ • https://meiklejohnlab.wordpress.ncsu.edu/ • Zoological Oncology and Therapeutics – Harrison Lab at NC State • Fungal Systems Biology Laboratory – Quantitative biology; evolution; cell cycle • CVM House System • CVM Swine Group • The Comparative Gastroenterology Lab – Home of the CGIBD Large Animal Models Core • Lab Animal Resources • The Mishra Lab • CVM SimLab • Comparative Behavioral Research • CVM Communication Resources – Yet another NC State website • Sheats Lab • Shellfish Pathology Program • Aquatic Animal Models of Disease – AAHD WordPress Information With this option, you can provide your content to the Communications Office/CE Office and they can populate the site. Resources: WordPress- https://wordpress.ncsu.edu/ Basics of WordPress Powerpoint - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1CQAFGghzKdQOl20wR6wt5Boa- PRu2C8IWAqSFXg2OXM/edit#slide=id.g37310ddd7d_0_391 Basics of WordPress Video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTEaYWICvBM&feature=youtu.be How to Edit a Page in WordPress- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGOUHgPPAGE&app=desktop Developer-based Option • This is a more extensive option, with a greater range of functionality, but it also takes more time and costs more. • The developer will be the one to maintain the site, but you will need to work in conjunction with the Office of Information Technology, who has to incorporate it. • At the moment, OIT is unable to work on new requests for some time. As a result, you may want to consider going with the free or in house at cost option for the time being. If you have any general questions on setting up a lab website, please reach out to Mike Charbonneau ([email protected]) .

  • Lady Gaga Fails to Obtain Transfer of 'Fan Site' Domain Name International
    Lady Gaga fails to obtain transfer of ‘fan site’ domain name Cybersquatting International - Hogan Lovells November 09 2011 In Germanotta v oranges arecool XD (Claim No FA1108001403808), singer Stefani Germanotta, known as Lady Gaga, has lost her bid to gain control of the domain name ‘ladygaga.org’ on the basis that it was pointing towards a non-commercial fan website. The case was brought under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and filed with the National Arbitration Forum (NAF), based in Minneapolis, United States. The respondent was listed as oranges arecool XD. To be successful in a UDRP procedure, a complainant must evidence that: l the domain name is identical, or confusingly similar, to a trademark or service mark in which it has rights; l the respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and l the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith. Gaga had no problem in proving the first requirement, as she had registered three federal LADY GAGA trademarks with the US Patent and Trademark Office in various classes. However, the three-member panel found that Gaga had not established that the respondent had no rights or legitimate interests under the second requirement. Given that the three requirements are cumulative, the complaint failed, and it was not necessary for the panel to consider the last requirement in relation to bad faith. The respondent asserted that she was operating a genuine non-commercial fan website at the domain name ‘ladygaga.org’, which contained no commercial links and included a prominent disclaimer, as follows: "Ladygaga.Org is just a unprofitable unofficial fansite, we do not get money from it.

  • Announce Your Wedding Online to Friends and Family with a Wedding Website
    Announce Your Wedding Online to Friends and Family with a Wedding Website Posted by TBN On 04/10/2012 Wedding planning seems to go on for months and months, but that final moment when it all comes together seems to be over within just the blink of an eye. One way to simplify your wedding planning is to create your own wedding website. A wedding website enables you to capture RSVP emails, make announcements about the wedding to friends and relatives, and more. What is a Wedding Website? A wedding website is your own Web URL or a certain amount of space hosted on another's website that announces your wedding and includes some information that possible guests would want to know. The website is dedicated solely to your wedding. It's a great way to let those nearby or abroad know about your wedding date and details, who will be in the wedding, and what to expect. The wedding website may contain photos of the bride and groom with special captions to explain each photo, the bride's and groom's names, the wedding date, an optional wedding song lyric, and a listing of the bride and groom parties. You can also post personal information about how you met, how the groom proposed, and who you are now. The website may also have a guestbook for visitors to leave comments for you. You can even list links to your bridal registries to make gift giving easy. Your Own Web Space versus Using Space on Another Site If you don't mind paying monthly fees for your own domain name and web hosting, you can get your own wedding website and hire a designer or design it on your own if you have the know-how.

  • The Role of Responsive Design in Web Development
    Webology, Volume 14, Number 2, December, 2017 Home Table of Contents Titles & Subject Index Authors Index The Role of Responsive Design in Web Development Fernando Almeida Centre for Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship, INESC TEC, Porto, Portugal. E-mail: [email protected] José Monteiro Higher Polytechnic Institute of Gaya, ISPGaya, V.N.Gaia, Portugal. E-mail: [email protected] Received October 12, 2017; Accepted December 25, 2017 Abstract Responsive design allows software developers to build a Web page that can dynamically adapt to the size of the devices. This development philosophy enables the rendering of Web pages in a fast and optimized way, ensuring a good user experience on mobile devices, tablet and desktop. In the scope of this study, we intend to explore the main advantages and limitations associated with responsive Web design. We adopted a quantitative approach based on a questionnaire filled by 181 professionals in the industry that allowed us to identify the reasons that lead software developers to the adoption of the responsive design and also address the limitations felt by them. The results obtained indicate that offering a good user experience and increasing accessibility stands out as being the most important advantages. On the other hand, the main limitations include the compatibility with older Web browsers, the higher loading time and the difficulties in optimizing user experience. Finally, it was found that the perception of the advantages and limitations of responsive design is distinct for professionals with more professional experience in the field and for freelancer developers. Keywords Web development; Responsive design; Web designing; User experience 48 http://www.webology.org/2017/v14n2/a157.pdf Introduction The advent of the Web turned possible the appearance of new form of transmission ideas and contents in online environments.

  • Website, Content, and Design Terminology
    Website, Content, and Design Terminology ACCESSIBILITY: Relates to web design/coding standards and refers to how easy it is for everyone to use your website, including people who are visually impaired or in any way physically handicapped, or limited by older or less common computers and software. These days with the smaller screen sized tablets and smart-phones, accessibility for use on all devises is important; especially with the growing number of people using smaller screen devices to go online. ADDRESS BAR: The white bar towards the top of your computer screen. It will normally have something typed in it that starts with "http://" This is where you type in the address of a website that you want to visit. ANCHOR TEXT: The text a link (hyperlink) uses to refer to your web page. These make a difference in your search engine results. BACKLINKS: Links from other website pages to yours. Backlinks are used to increase a site’s popularity with search engines and to get more people to visit your site. The quality of a backlink and its anchor text is factored into Google’s algorithm when deciding how much importance to place on it. BANDWIDTH: It may help if you read "traffic" first, but very simply, bandwidth relates to how much a resource is used. An analogy would be a freeway. The wider the freeway, the more traffic (users) it can handle. The narrower it is, the less people can use it at once (without problems). When a website gets a lot of visitors, it will use a lot of bandwidth.

  • Using Twitter in University Research, Teaching and Impact Activities
    Impact of Social Sciences Maximizing the impact of academic research Using Twitter in university research, teaching and impact activities A guide for academics and researchers Amy Mollett, Danielle Moran and Patrick Dunleavy Twitter is a form of free micro-blogging which allows users to send and receive short public messages called tweets. Tweets are limited to no more than 140 characters, and can include links to blogs, web pages, images, videos and all other material online. You can start tweeting in 10 minutes, anytime, from your computer, smart phone or tablet. By following other people and sources you are able to build up an instant, personalized Twitter feed that meets your full range of interests, both academic and personal. Thousands of academics and researchers at all levels of experience and across all disciplines already use Twitter daily, alongside more than 200 million other users. Yet how can such a brief medium have any relevance to universities and academia, where journal articles are 3,000 to 8,000 words long, and where books contain 80,000 words? Can anything of academic value ever be said in just 140 characters? This guide answers these questions, showing you how to get started on Twitter and showing you how Twitter can be used as a resource for research, teaching and impact activities. © LSE Public Policy Group 2011 1 Setting up your Twitter account 1. Go to www.twitter.com/signup 2. Enter your name, email address and a memorable password. Choose a username which makes you easily identifiable to others. Some academics include their academic title in their username, but this is down to personal choice.
