Accessing SiteEdit

Once you have been given permission to use the SiteEdit web tool you will be able to login and edit the site that you have been granted access to edit. To get permission you must request that your director or department chair email Ted Johnson, tedmund.johnson@mnsu.edu, to grant you access.

Choosing a Web Browser

**This documentation was tested using Mozilla Firefox© 1.5.0.7 and Internet Explorer© 7.** These browsers work the best because they have tabbed browsing, making it easier to switch between SiteEdit and the page you are editing, and the page performs a hard refresh/reload when the refresh/reload button is clicked, making the changes you made in SiteEdit appear.
