Web Site Index Page

At this time, please open the “Site Index” page from the Upper Sevier site. You should be able to alternately bring this page forward to read this text and bring the Site Index page forward to look at the features being described. If your screen resolution is high enough you may be able to see both of these pages side by side.

This page contains a separate text link to all of the main pages of the watershed web site. The main navigation bar available on every page throughout the site contains these main pages and they are the same ones identified in this Detailed Overview. I.e., Home, Background, Interactive Journey, Resource Issues, Community Center, Partners, and this Site Index.

In addition, all of the map pages for the Interactive Journey and Resource Issues and the associated linked panorama locations are identified. The sub page categories for the Community Center are also identified.

It should be noted that there are usually one or several “hot spot” stories and/or audio-video sequences attached to each of the Resource Issue panoramas. These additional pages “are not” listed in this site index. It was decided that the web site index would become too complex for easy viewing if all of these were added.

For watershed coordinators or partners who have already used the site to find specific locations it should be possible to navigate to specific spots on the map more quickly by accessing the Site Index rather than moving through the map pages. If a person wanted to use a single or a few panorama locations for a demonstration of a particular location or resource issue at a meeting or conference they might use the Site Index, for example.

We should also point out that the Sanford Fire 2002 section of the Upper Sevier web site contains a more detailed analysis than any of the other resource issue subjects on this or the other Interactive Watershed web sites. During the summer and fall of 2002, the Upper Sevier River Community Watershed Project decided to create a whole new “sub-web site” containing new panoramas, text and images, and audio-video information to highlight the cause and effects and the restoration work that started during and after the fire. Consequently, during the development of this project, it was decided to create a special “Table of Contents” link on the main Sanford Fire 2002 page. This new page is similar to a “site index” and identifies links to the additional panorama pages that may be associated with the one location on the Sanford Fire map page. However, it was decided to list the numerous “hot spot” stories associated with these panoramas in the table of contents. A person demonstrating the Sanford Fire can use this table of contents to navigate quickly from one site to another.

Note that other web pages you visit in this detailed overview of the on-line workshop may have some of the same page elements described above. Generally these will not be described again on each page. To get a good understanding of all of these features it will be imperative to visit all of the pages in this Detailed Overview section in the order given.

This concludes the overview and analysis of the web site template. To review a particular page, please choose from the links below.
