NETWORK SITE MANAGEMENT

摘要

A network site accessible over a communications network includes a public access section,a registered access section accessible by registered users of the site, and an administration section. The administration section provides access to a user module for maintaining details of registered users, a content module for controlling site content, and a notification module for notifying one or more registered users of content on the site. Site content is classified by classification data. Registered users having classification data corresponding to that of a new content item such as an article or survey are notified by email of the new content. The email sent to a registered user includes a hyperlink with login data for that user, allowing a registered user to access content directly by clicking on the link. The use of the link and other accesses to site content are monitored, allowing a site administrator to generate individual and statistical data on use of the site.
