Hi Christian, all Yes, good point. However if we remove the mission statement from the submission subpage there is always the chance that someone will go straight to the sub page through the top menu and miss the mission statement - so maybe it should be on both? cheers Mathieu On 10/26/12, Christian Siefkes <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi all,
I friend notes that the journal's "About" is empty. There are various subpages visible in the menu on top, but the page itself has no content.
The first subpage is entitled "Submissions" but has the link <http://peerproduction.net/about/mission-statement/>. It contains both, the mission statement and info on "How to submit to the Journal". One way of fixing the empty About page would be to move the mission statement there and limit the Submissions page to submission info only.
Best regards Christian

good point, but I would avoid having it in two locations, since that'll annoy people who click on all the links. Also, I wouldn't expect to find a mission statement on a page entitled "Submissions" in the first place. That leaves two options I can think of: - Create two separate subpages for the "Mission Statement" and for the "Submissions". Leave the main About page empty except for a list of links pointing to the 4 subpages. (Similar to the Issues pages.) - Move the mission statement to the main About page, but add a prominent link to it on the Submissions page. (E.g. "Please read our Mission Statement before submitting.")
