Department or Classification (H2)

Page Headers are determined by the Left Links. Top-level headers (H2 tags in the style sheet) are defined by the last bold Left Link OR the name of the department. The Page Title (H3 tags in the style sheet) is defined by: 1) Sub-navigation in the Left Links OR 2) For department pages, by the name of the Left Link corresponding to the given page. Remember to also title your pages in the "Page Properties" or HTML. For the department home page, the format should be: "Department - Towson University". For subpages, the format should be, "Page Title - Department Name - Towson University." See the subpage example.

• Subpage 1

Don't use ampersands (&) in page titles, spell out "and." But use ampersands in links. For more detailed information, follow the directions in the Web Style Guide. Also see the Academic Department template.

• Links should be bulleted and separate from paragraph text. Don't make links in paragraph text.
• PDF links should be labeled as such in content area and left nav (PDF)
