Notes for the Future Editor of the FUSE National Website
Created by Kelsey Diven, Spring 2022 Intern
Updated by Emily Hizny, Fall 2022 Intern
Updated by Sarah Ledet, Spring 2023 Intern
Possible Projects:
-
Make the website more mobile compatible
-
Check all the links in the Lit Mag Directory
-
Change the fonts in all the earlier volumes of The FUSE Box
-
Make the backgrounds the same (some pages' blue backgrounds to the left and right of the white middle of the page have lines, some don't)
-
Update the promotional slideshow and pictures on the Home page
-
Work on/find someone to work on the FUSE National social media accounts
-
Organize all the files we have under Media
Tips and Tricks
-
Keep record of everything you do. Even if it's just sending out an email to someone, keep record of it.
-
​Consistency is very important. Familiarize yourself with fonts, font colors, and font sizes. This comes with practice and time, but it's definitely a helpful tool to keep mindful of. This website uses Museo for its font (if you see Museo Slab, change it to Museo please), and its theme colors are typically at the top of the color selector. If it helps you, write it down.
-
Many pages function more or less the same. The only one that is different is the Interviews and Reviews page. You might not have to use this page, but you might. It's formatted like a Wix blog. As such, instead of creating new pages or moving boxes around, you would be adding posts.
-
The website is a living, constantly evolving document. You will be moving things around constantly. This is usually not too bothersome. But sometimes it is. For example, the Affiliated Lit Mag directory is a pain to add to. It may change, but there will always be some frustration when something doesn't work exactly like it's supposed to. Take a deep breath, count to ten, and try again.
-
The affiliated page is a problem child. I have tinkered with it endlessly and it still hates me. Here's how to edit it now, though. When you click the container for the affil page it will say "Manage Repeater". Click this. You will be able to go through each section (1-40) and see which number certain universities are. Find where you want to place it and click "Copy Section" and it should insert a section underneath it. You will have to change around the images, but it is currently the best way I could find to make this work. Good luck.
-
-
It's okay to not know how to do something. Wix is relatively user friendly, but certain skills aren't inherent. Google is your best friend. Wix has great information on how to do different tasks. If it's super specific or something is glitching and doesn't want to listen to you, the Wix Expert Chat is an amazing tool. There's nothing wrong with not being an expert!
-
Check everything. I recommend that you familiarize yourself with every page at the start of your internship. Write down what you would change. Write down what you think you want to see more of. Every few weeks, go through again. Look at every page.
-
Each week Dr. Dent will give you a handful of things to do. Do more if you have time. She appreciates it and any future interns will too.
-
Write down any questions that come up. I promise you won't remember them when you meet with Dr. Dent. You'll tell yourself that you have it locked in. You don't. If you find something that you're not sure what to do with, or you want to double check with Dr. Dent before changing, either email her or write it down in your notes to discuss.
-
Check the Inbox every two weeks, at least. Often, there will be nothing. You will get the occasional message, and it's important to be timely in your correspondence. Messages that you can't handle directly should be forwarded to Dr. Dent. Example: Someone wants to register their school as part of FUSE. Record the name, email, and the body of their message and send it immediately to Dr. Dent. If it's something regarding the FUSE Website, fix it immediately and send a response thanking them for reaching out and letting them know that the issue has been resolved.
-
When it comes to design, take a look at other pages of the website and see if you can copy things to keep designs consistent
-
A page that is hidden (crossed out eyeball icon on the page list) can still be accessed by viewers if there is a particular link to it elsewhere on the website
-
How To Password Protect a Page (little key icon): (click on the three dots on the page's listing on the Site Menu) > Settings > Permissions > Password Holders (then write in a password)
-
Good luck and get some sleep <3
​
For the Next FUSE Conference:
-
The description and advised timeline for the "24-Hour Lit Mag Challenge" are in the 2022ConferenceStuff folder (recommendation: turn the advised timeline into more of a to-do list)
-
The form we used for Event Sign-Up in 2022 is a copy of the one from 2020 and that was the only way I could get a form with multiple pages, and it doesn't look like it's an option for a type of form anymore. WIX might stop supporting it at some point, so maybe think about using a google form or something else for Event Sign-Up next time
-
If a faculty member fills out the Event Sign-Up Form on behalf of their students, either reach out to them and have those students sign up individually, or make sure the faculty member knows that they are responsible for sending the information/Zoom links to their students
-
Also, add who attendees will be receiving the information/Zoom links from and when they'll receive them, and who to contact if they don't (so people can look out for a certain email from outside the university that won't be spam)

11/3
-
Cross-referenced the website form with my google form to find out why (according to Dr. Dent) 10 people signed up for the lit mag challenge when I only had 5
-
Emailed Dr. Dent back about why – because they either missed the deadline or didn’t follow instructions to fill out the additional google form, and reminded her that she did not send out the emails with the Zoom links to the attendees like we discussed
-
Replied to Dr. Dent about my next plan of action for including the new people
-
Discovered that one name was a professor (Alison Bennett Dyche) who filled out the event sign-up form on behalf of her students, and I received a response on the google form only from a student (Gabrielle Troutman) from the same university (Appalachian State University), so I didn’t have to contact her
-
Emailed Ginger DeLussey (SU), Sydnie Howard (SU), and Ciana Bowers (Widener) about filling out the google form ASAP if they were still interested in participating
-
Received responses from Ginger and Ciana
-
Replied to Dr. Dent about how the team was going to reach out to attendees for submissions – I was going to send them the emails of all the attendees after the challenge began (which I had already stated in the email to the participants that I CC’d her on, and that she’d responded to)

-
So I emailed all 80 participants myself with the Zoom links to make sure everyone got them and no one fell through the cracks (since everyone who wanted to go should be able to go, and just in case someone didn’t receive the links and had no one to ask for them)

-
Looked through the new messages (people submitting the event sign-up form)
-
Added University of Illinois Springfield and its lit mag Violet Margin to the lit mag directory
