Note that the html in all eMuseum pages must meet xsl standards. This means that all attributes must be in quotation marks and all tags must either have closing tags or end with a /.
              <br/><br/>
              Here are some tips for basic updates to the eMuseum interface:
				<ul>
					<li>Fonts are controlled by a style sheet: <b>eMuseum\txtStyle.css</b></li>
					<li>Test</li>
					<li>To change the color of the left bar, modify <b>images\bg.gif</b> and <b>images/bg2.gif</b>. The <b>body</b> tag of each page includes '<b>background=&quot;../images/bg.gif&quot;</b>', which sets this image as the page background. (bg2.gif is used as the background for the single-record object and people pages; bg.gif is used as the background for all other pages.)</li>
					<li>The Gallery Systems logo in the upper left corner is <b>images\logo.gif</b>. Modify this image to replace 'Gallery Systems' with your institution name.</li>
					<li>Page layouts are generally controlled by the files in <b>eMuseum\html</b>. Sections of the page that contain information from the database are controlled by the files in <b>eMuseum\xsl</b>. Most pages that display data are formed by a combination of an html file and an xsl file of the same name.</li>

			<p align="justify">The New-York Historical Society houses a treasure trove of materials relating to the 
			founding of our country, the history of art in America, and the history of New York and its people.  The museum 
			collection of more than 60,000 objects and works of art may be viewed online here at 
			<a href="http://emuseum.nyhistory.org">emuseum.nyhistory.org</a>, and in the Henry 
			Luce III Center for the Study of American Culture, an innovative, "visible storage" 
			installation.  Fine art holdings include renowned Hudson River School landscapes; masterpieces of colonial and 
			later portraiture; John James Audubon's watercolors for <em>The Birds of America</em>; an encyclopedic collection of 
			sculpture; and much more.  Great achievements in the making of silver, ceramics, and furniture, along with one 
			of the most important Tiffany lamp collections, are the stars of our decorative arts holdings.  Artifacts relating 
			to New York's participation in local and global events, among them the slave trade, the American Revolution, and 
			the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, chronicle the history of New York and the nation through our own 
			day.  Three million manuscripts, photographs, prints, maps and books complement these art and artifact collections 
			and are accessible at <a href="http://www.bobcat.nyu.edu">Bobcat</a>.  Also accessible online is the 
			<a href="http://www.gilderlehrman.org/">Gilder Lehrman Collection</a>, on deposit 
			at the Society.  We draw from all of these holdings to create <a href="../home/exhredir.html">interpretive exhibitions</a> 
			illuminating the past.</p>
