From National,
 
A new AUX website template is available for use.  It has been designed to resemble National.  I do want to stress that it is not mandatory to use; just another option if you or Flotillas choose too use it.  Go to this link for updates http://test.d11nr.info/
 

Two requirements:

-          All standard web development elements are used as stated in the CS Guide.  (Check list is provided on the template pages)

-          The size format is to be retained, by not exceeding with insert sizes

o         Left menu bar, Insert graphic is not to exceed 160 pixels

o         Main body, insert tables or graphics are not to exceed 582 pixels

Website Submission, Access Code Retrieval and Changing Webmaster Information:
As of 31 January 2004, all flotilla and division website requests will be processed through the DSO-CS.  Please review the revised Auxiliary General Policies regarding websites, and the new FSO/SO-CS Site Submission Form.

  1. New Site Requests for Approval - Before submitting your Site Submission Form, make sure that you, the CS officer, understand that use of the National Auxiliary AIRS site which is governed by their Policy Compliance Agreement.  After reviewing the National Auxiliary AIRS site for policy, go to the Website Submission Process page for further information on the process of getting your site approved.

  2. Requests for new access codes (username/password) - Units frequently request new access codes when there is a change in webmasters.  These requests must now be made by the DSO-CS officer.  All that I need is an email from you, with the full unit number, and a specific request to change the access code.  The DSO-CS will obtain the new access code and send it back to the new webmaster.

  3. Requests for reissuing lost access codes (username/password) - Send the DSO-CS an email with the full unit number, and a specific request to reissue the site's existing access code.  The DSO-CS will obtain a new access code from national and forward this information back to the unit's CS officer or FC and will verify receipt.

  4. Change in webmaster information:  Inform the DSO-CS, by e-mail, if there is a change of webmaster information.  This notification should be made whenever there is a change in unit webmaster, or if a currently listed webmaster changes their email address.  Include the full unit number, and the names and email addresses of the old and new webmasters.  The DSO-CS will pass this information onto national who will change the National Webmaster listing and return an email verifying that the change has been made.

  5. If you would like server space on the national server: If your current auxiliary website is on a non-auxiliary server (private or commercial) and would like to move to the auxiliary national server, please click-on and complete the "Website Approval and Request for Server Space Form."
