Editing the Description

• This should look familiar. It is the same page
  that editing the title gets you to, because we
  thought that the subject name, title, and
  description often are edited together.
• If you want to use plain text, please put ltpregt
  before it, and lt/pregt after it. This will tell
  the system that you are using plain text.
• I sugest that the description be relatively
  short. You can copy the websis description in
  here if you want.

Stellar Subject Homepage

• Any questions?
• Here's the complete page (no image, thought) with
  an announcement that is already past, so it is
