Check now to prevent website problems later

When the switch to a redesigned university homepage occurs early this summer, it's possible that problems like broken images and messy layouts will appear on some units' web pages.
The problems will show up on sites that link to images (like the ISU nameplate) and layout instructions (stylesheets) that are located on www.iastate.edu.
