We have changed the format of the Staff Biographies to be more consistent and match the new web design. The biographies are now stored in our staff database, to make it easier to display them in different ways, and to enable individual staff to edit their own biography.

To edit your biography, log in to the Staff Database menu. If you have an existing biography, click on Edit Bio. If you don't have a biography yet click on Add Bio. This will bring you to a Flash-based interface to create or edit your biography. (Note: this requires Flash Player 7. Internet Explorer will automatically update the player if necessary. If using Netscape, and the form doesn't appear correct, please upgrade the player at the Macromedia Website. Most computers in the county offices have been upgraded to Flash 7.)

The biographies are organized uniformly: A main narrative and then sections for Educational Background, Program Specialty Areas, Experience, Select Publications, Current Research, and Professional Associations. If any of these areas has no entries, it simply won't show, so you don't need to fill them all in. The editing form is fairly straight forward, but we are working on a help file to assist in using it.

Biographies can also display a picture of the staff member. If you would like to add or update your picture, please email it to Stephen Judd.

If you have comments or questions about the system, please post them here or email Stephen Judd.
