HealthDay E-Z Post
Main Index Page To
create an index page, visit the E-Z Post client creation tool and click on the LIST tab.
First,
you'll need to enter your HealthDay Client
ID, which will be given to you by your HealthDay sales or technical
contact. If you make a mistake and enter your client ID incorrectly, the
"Filter by category/specialty" will remain blank. Please check your Client ID (case-sensitive)
again and re-enter it. Next,
select a News Feed, either HealthDay
Consumer or Physician's Briefing. Next,
select the News Type that you'd like
to display on this index page. For
HealthDay Consumer, your choices are:
News, Health Highlights, FYI, or FDA Approvals. For
Physician's Briefing, your choices are: Journal, Conference, Monthly Briefings,
Institutional, or Conference News. (Please
note that you can display multiple news types on the same index page.
But you must enter separate style sheet choices and select the Generate Code for HealthDay Lists
button on the E-Z Post client creation tool for each news type you'd like to display.) Next,
if applicable, select the category
or topic flag filter if you're a
HealthDay Consumer client, or a specialty
filter if you're a Physician's Briefing client. This filter will allow you to
display a narrowed list of stories on this page, as opposed an entire newsfeed.
For example, you can select only a category or topic flags that apply to Women's
Health.
If
you do not wish to narrow the selection of stories that are displayed on this
page, do NOT select any of the category, topic flag or specialty choices from
the drop-down menu. To select multiple categories, flags or specialties, press
the CTRL (PC) or APPLE (Mac) key as you select multiple choices. Next,
enter the number of headlines that
you'd like to have on this page. Next,
enter the full URL of the Article Detail page that will display
an article's text, once a visitor clicks on a headline. Now
you have entered all of the information that's needed to display HealthDay or
Physician's Briefing headlines on a Web page. But you're not done. What should this information look like (font
size, color, etc.)? You need to complete
the rest of the form, which will create an HTML style sheet (CSS) for this page.
First,
select one of the six list styles from the drop-down. The following samples
represent
each of the six styles:
Next,
select a default font for the page
you are working on.
The
three drop-downs on this line allow you to select a font size, a typeface,
and the
font color (use hexadecimal number
or color name). Some
popular color choices are shown below:
Next,
choose if links on this page should
be underlined, or not underlined. Next,
select a color for links on this
page. Next,
choose whether to underline or not underline links when the computer's cursor
hovers over them. Next,
select a color for links when the
computer's cursor hovers over them. Now
you're ready to generate the code that will produce HealthDay or Physician's
Briefing headlines on your Web page. Select
the button at the bottom of the E-Z Post client creation tool:
Two
pieces of code will be generated. The first will look like this:
This
code must be copied to the clipboard and pasted into the <HEAD> section
of your Web page. The
second section of code will look something like this (client ID has been
blacked out in this example). Copy this code to the portion of your page where
you want the HealthDay or Physician's Briefing headlines to appear:
Congratulations! You've created an E-Z Post Web page. The instructions for creating other types of
E-Z Post pages are very similar to those above.
