Thanks to all the people who sent me info on documenting a web site. As
there were several people who also wanted to know what I found out, I'm
summarizing for the list:
1. Master copy on hard disk. Also back up of all page changes.
2. Log book on titles/links added.
3. Hard disk back up of entire site everytime a change is made.
4. Save as individual directories in operating system (eg.
Unix)
Some additional ideas:
1. Can use printouts of web pages as handouts for patrons. That
way just have to update a web page and not also a handout. These handouts
also have the URL on them so patrons can check latest update themselves.
2. Create a database for the links you use by categories. Can
easily add description.
Thank you for your responses and your interest. I appreciate the help, as
always.
