Starting / Editing

Start: Opening A Page

To start a new page or edit an existing one, Click on the pages icon in the left, black menu bar.

Create or Edit

For a new page, click on Add New.

OR, Edit an existing page by clicking on a page title.

That opens a blank page for new content or an existing page for editing.

Notice the space at the top for entering a title and the blank space in the middle where page text will reside.

Enter Page Content

In this example, we have the page title, “Fake.” And,
We have added some content. The first line will be styled as a heading.

Using the Style Bar

The style bar is used to change the “look” of text. The default is “ordinary,” paragraph text.

To change text to a heading, select text by dragging the cursor over the text.

Then, click on Paragraph on the styling bar. Move the cursor down to highlight the style for test – a top-level Heading 1 in this case. Release the cursor.

Result: the text is now a heading.

Headings may also be created by placing the cursor in a blank area and selecting the heading style before typing new content.

NOTE that heading styles should NOT be used to emphasize “ordinary” text. Headings are meant to delineate, hierarchically, the major topics on a web page. Use BOLD or other styling as an attention getter.

More Style

Many more tools are available to style text:

Bold
Italics
Color text
Underscore

lists – useful for “compacting” text vertically to diminish vertical blank space.
Add links, but see guidance: Creating Links to Other Web Pages (URLs)
Experiment and/or refer to the Tips pages referenced at the top of this page.

Finishing

When finished editing, be sure to Save Draft. In fact, it’s a good idea to that periodically to avoid losing added or new content.

Last Editing Step: Logout
