Re: [LM_NET] Follett's Destiny - how to improve my HOME page?

[Keith Schroeder <keitschr@HSSD.K12.WI.US>]

The destiny main page can be edited using HTML language.  Most of us are not 
experts at this but if you have a program, like FrontPage, you can edit your page 
in the normal view.  The normal view is like working with Word.  What you see is 
what you get.  Then you can click on the html tab. . . cut and paste that html 
programming language into destiny when you are on the home tab editing link.  When 
you save it, it will look just like it did in FrontPage.  There may be a few 
formatting things that will not look exactly as you wanted, but they will be close. 
 You may have to play with your webpage in frontpage to get everything precise, but 
it will look much more professional and customized.

Hope it helps!

Keith

Can you make Destiny Quest the default catalog once students do log in and click on 
CATALOG? I would like to do that if possible.

I agree the default Destiny homepage is somewhat lame.  I also wish they would have 
an option we could select that would enable students to go directly to the catalog 
tab.  A lot of my kids get confused when they see the homepage and don't understand 
they have to click on the "Catalog" tab.  It's annoying.  Widgets would make things 
more interesting.

Is there anyway to make my HOME tab on *Follett's Destiny* more exciting?
Can you embed widgets there?
http://www.isb.rs - library catalog link top of page

We are now set up with Destiny Quest, TitlePeek, Lexile Level searching, Public 
book lists, WebPath (educational website search results), and using the "Recommend" 
book option. The students and teachers are loving it - but my HOME page is lame.

Thanks,
Jennie
