Making Changes

To make changes to the website:

• Make a Github account if you don’t have one already
• Create a fork in the most recent version - https://github.com/ramirocantu/msa_website
• Follow these instructions based on the changes needed (you should not need to change anything else about the website!)
  • Board headshots, names, and emails
    • Go to msa_website/images
    • Delete the files of the previous board headshots
      • Be sure to keep track of the name of the files as they are in the code!
    • Add files of the new board headshots labelled “firstname-headshot.jpg”
    • Replace the names of the files in the index.html file accordingly

      • There will be a section of code that looks like this and will repeat for each position of the board. Find the position you are looking for and replace the following in this order: file name, full name of person, position name, email address.
