Website Questions...and Answers

  1. When will the Directory of Graduate Programs (DoGP) be online?

    Right now conference-related Web content is a priority, so the DGP is on the back burner. Since many entries were outdated, we felt reformatting the old file for posting on the Web would be a waste of resources. We will have the revised DGP up as soon as we can. In the mean time, you may contact the Web manager to obtain a copy of the old file, or use the links to the archived DoGP in the Resource Center.

  2. When will the Directory of Experts (DoE) be online?

    After the DGP is online.

  3. To whom do we submit entries for the Grad Programs and Experts Directories?

    Our plan is to have an interactive secure database through which members will update their own information for both their personal listings and their attendant graduate programs. This way the information can be updated more frequently and easily. We appreciate your continued patience while we rebuild both Directories. In the mean time, please use the links to the archived DoGP in the Resource Center.

  4. What's a blog?

    Short for Weblog, blogs began as a type of online diary and usually refer to types of Webpages that are updated or posted to on a regular basis, with the posts appearing in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top of the page). Blog for America brought blogs into the spotlight during the build-up to the 2004 Presidential election, demonstrating that blogs could be much more than an online diary. Blogs can be written by one person or a group of contributors, invite feedback and comments from visitors, and can be syndicated and read via RSS feed. For more information on blogs, see this Introduction to Blogs and Blogging by Techlearning.

  5. What's a blogroll?

    A blogroll is a listing of (hyperlinked) blogs on another Webpage or blog. The blogroll on NASSSblog can be found under the title "Blogroll, please!" on the right-hand side of the page.

  6. I have an announcement for the blog. Where/to whom do I submit it?

    You can submit announcements to the Webmaster by using our Contact Form. Please put "for nassblog" in the subject line.

  7. How do I make a comment on the blog (NASSSblog)?

    Click on the orange "comments" link at the bottom of the post. You can also email indivdual posts to others (or yourself) by clicking on the envelope icon next to the comments link.

  8. What is an RSS feed?

    Usually understood to stand for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary, RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including blogs. A news aggregator such as bloglines collects RSS feeds and displays new items from each of them. For more background on RSS, see this Introduction to RSS by Web Reference.

  9. How do I make a post to the bulletin board (NASSSbb)?
    • Register with the bb service by clicking on the "register" link at the top of the page. If you have already registered, then click on the "login" link. Only registered users can post messages to the board.
    • After you login, click on the board (e.g. "General") you want to post under, then pick the subtopoic (e.g. "FAQ") that you want to post under.
    • If you want to respond to a post in a thread, click on the post title and then click "reply" (on the right hand side) and type your message.
    • To start a new topic, click on "Make new thread" link on the right hand side of the page.

  10. When will session proposals/abstract submission/registration open for the annual conference?
