The Modify MOTD area of the Admin menu can be used by any of the Command crew, although the actual design of the MOTD is captain's discretion. Although MOTD stands for Message of the Day, these pages don't have to be updated that often. They should, however, be updated regularly. MOTDs with outdated information are of no use to anyone.

When you access the MOTD, you're presented with the text version, including all the HTML codes. If you're not familiar with HTML, the Internet Department can help you out. Your best bet in the mean time is to keep the current MOTD design and simply alter the contents.

To do that, simply find the area you want to change, highlight the text, and then rewrite the section. When you're done, cross your fingers and hit Write the new MOTD button.

Return to the MOTD and make sure the changes you made look okay. Even HTML experts can create typos which wreak havoc with the code. If something looks wrong, be sure to go back to the editor and correct it.
