Agenda • Introduction • Guest Presentation – Website Accessibility • Michelle Laramie, David Bergmann, Jolene Nemeth from Board of Education and Services for the Blind (BESB) • Reminders and Updates
Website Accessibility Michelle Laramie, David Bergmann, & Jolene Nemeth
WebFile Manager – Status • We are very low on space available for storing files • We are unable to increase storage on our current hardware • We are purchasing equipment needed to connect to SAN Storage
WebFile Manager – Best Practices • Web File Manager should not be used to archive files no longer linked on the site – that should be done on agency network drives • If you remove a link to a file, remember to go and delete the file • Routinely run an orphan file report and remove them from the File Manager (we are still working on getting a functioning orphan report tool)
WebFile Manager – Videos Video Size No bigger than 50 MB Contact PMG for options Don’t ever upload a video that is not from a trusted source Must be Work Related Acceptable Use of State Systems Policy
WebFile Manager – Folders • Review of two methods to upload to folders in the File Manager • Single file upload to a folder • Multiple file upload to a folder
DSF Feature (eAlerts) • Due to the high volume of mail server traffic, it is a strain to the system to process eAlerts during regular business hours • Sent after 5pm unless time sensitive • Use “Specific Date”
USA Search • USA.gov added a new feature • “Add to Bing” – specify pages to have Bing include them in their index and search results within 24 hours

Google Analytics – Code Change • We noticed not all sites were collecting downloaded files • This was caused by a change in Google Analytics code • GA code was updated on Portal sites as needed • Non-portal site webmasters have been notified to update the code they were originally given
