Change Web Site name, address, and contact information

You can change the name of your Web Site as it appears on the browser's title bar (the bar at the top of the browser window). You can also change the description of the Site as it appears in the list of categories or channels.

Lastly, you can change information about the person whom a participant might contact about the Web Site. The Web Site contact is the person whose name can appear at the bottom of every page of a Web Site. This is typically the person whom you want visitors and participants of a site to contact if they have questions about the Web Site group or the content of the Web Site pages.

The Web Site contact does not have to be the same person as the Web Site Administrator. For instance, let's say that you are the parent of a soccer team player and the administrator of the team's Web Site. However, you want all questions about the team and information posted on that Web Site to go to the team's coach. You would probably make the coach the contact person for the Web Site.

You can have as many Administrators of a Web Site as you want, but you can only have one contact person.
