Submit a Standish History event
If you know of an event we have so far missed in the history of Standish, and you would like to help us by contributing some details to the site, you can use this page to send it to us using the text file upload form and image file upload form. Once we have approved the text and images, it will be displayed on the site. You can use the text and image submission forms below to send us your text/html files and jpeg/gif/png images, along with a few other details. If you have some text with images, please upload them separately, i.e. fill in the text form, then once that has been successfully uploaded, upload the images. Please could you firstly read the Style Guide below, which will outline some of the necessary criteria for text files and images. •
Style Guide
Text- Documents uploaded should be in text (.txt) or HTML (.htm/.html) formats. Word, RTF, PHP or any other formats are NOT supported. If in doubt, please contact us
- Backgrounds should not be used in HTML documents.
<BODY> tags, and anything within <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags will be automatically removed so we can display the page correctly within the website. - Text files greater than 50k cannot be uploaded onto the server. This should not be a problem for normal text/HTML files, but if it is, then please contact us.
- You can link to any other event year by adding the following line anywhere within your text:
<?php Year("2000","text linking to year 2000") ?>
- You can also add a "See Also: " to any other event year by adding the following line to your text (preferably to or bottom fro preceding or following events respectively):
<?php See_also("2000","text linking to year 2000") ?>
- Please add details of any references to the bottom of the text/html file. We will then modify it to be added to the References page as necessary.
Images - Image files greater than 100k cannot be uploaded onto the server. Please use image processing software to optimise images and reduce file sizes as far as possible. If you have any problem with this, then please contact us.
- Images can be JPEGs (.jpg or .jpeg), GIFs (.gif) or PNGs (.png). No other image formats (BMP/TIFF/WMF etc) are supported.
- Image dimensions should not exceed 500 to 600 pixels width and 1000 pixels height, and although there is no automatic check on this, it will be checked before the text is approved.
- Images can be embedded in text files as follows:
<?php image("filename.jpg","Alternative text","left/right/center") ?>
No pathname ("img_dir/") is needed, nor are height=, width= and border= attributes. alignment is left or right or center, and vertical alignment is automatically top for left/right alignment. This is the quick way to include images instead of using anchor tags. General - Files uploaded will not be visible on the site until they have been approved by one of the site maintainers. This may take some time, please be patient.
- If the file you wish to upload does not fit into the above criteria, or your are having problems uploading a text or image file, or if you have any other questions regarding a file, please contact us for help.
