Website and Blog Access

Website Editor Access

Illinois Extension county directors, program leaders, and marketing staff can request website editing access for a staff member by submitting a New Hire Form or Staff Change form through Tech Services.

  • Fill out a New Hire or Staff Change form. Make sure to check the box Website (Content Editor).
  • MarCom and Tech Services will review the request.
  • Approved staff members will receive a registration link and can register for an upcoming training session.

Those eligible for editing access can include full- and part-time Extension staff, Extension faculty specialists, Extension extra help, and paid Extension student interns. MarCom will review requests and work with Tech Services to confirm access and arrange a training timeline with the staff member.
