Adding and Editing People

Steps

1. Find the Courses Google Sheet (in NYU DH Website > Site Data)
2. Edit and/or add new courses in the sheet following the rules below.
3. Add people image files (as needed!) to the site's source/media/people folder. The actual file should be named as the person's pid, e.g., nyrop.jpg
4. When you're ready, pull the updated spreadsheet data into the site build. (See: Pulling Data)
