These instructions are an EKU Web Best Practice — Good for your ♥ heart!
- Before changing any page, graphic or file, create a copy of it.
- Rename each filename.ext to filename10mar2006fl.ext where
- 29oct2004 is the date you are changing the file and
- fl is the initials for your first and last name.
- ext is the usual filename extension (.php, .jpg, .gif, .inc, .txt, etc.)
- Move the backup filename10mar2006fl.ext to the archive/ subdirectory in the same directory as its original file. (If archive/ does not exist yet, create it!)
The above steps will give you a history that you can always go back to in case your current web files get corrupted, mangled, or lost.
