Getting Started: An Overview of Key Features

Logging in:

 

Getting Started:

Begin by logging in to the administration panel using the link above. You’ll see the dashboard which allows you to manage your site details. You will probably edit pages most often. Click “Pages” on the left. This will show you all the pages I’ve created on your site. Clicking a page will let you edit the content. You will see a Word-style interface. Typing content into this space and pressing “Update” on the right will let you change the content. (After you click “Update”, you will be able to see the changes online). You can also click “Add Page” at the top to add new pages.

That’s a quick overview, but it’s enough to get stared. I’d also recommend watching this link for a visual explanation of the key features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwan-ofPGqQ&feature=youtu.be

Getting Started:

Access the administration panel using the link and login information above. To change your password, click “Lost your password?” or after logging in or select “Profile” after logging in and locate the password change toward the bottom of the page. After logging in, you will see an interface which allows you to manage your site details.

Managing Pages:

Click “Pages” on the left. This lists all the pages on your site. A few have been provided already as examples.

Adding Pages:

Click a page name to edit its content. To create a new page, click “Add Page” at the top or hover over the page name and pressing “Add Child” to add a page under the one you’ve selected. Delete pages by clicking the red trash can icon. Rearrange pages by selecting the Parent in the Page Attributes panel.

Editing Pages:

Click a page name to open the editing screen. It will show a Word-style interface. Typing content into this space and pressing “Update” on the right will change the content. (After pressing “Update”, all changes are publicly visible.) Control font size, styles, colors, formatting, tables, and other common features on this screen as well.

By default, the editor uses double-spacing when pressing the “Enter” or “Return” key. For single spaces, hold “Shift” while pressing it.

Add a hyperlink by selecting text or an image and pressing the “link” button in the editor. Enter a URL or press “page options” to access more features or link to another page on your site.

Other editors are also available. By default, you are using the Word-style editor in the “Visual” tag. Alternatively, you can modify the HTML code directly in the “Text” tab, or use a tool called “Page Builder” to assemble unique layouts and add special features.

Managing Media:

Use the Media tab to manage images, documents, and other files you include on your website. To add media to a page, access “Edit Page” and click “Add Media”. Select the files to add to the page and press “Insert Into Page”.

If a notification box in the right column states that “You have (x) images that can be imported”, this means you have images on your page which are borrowed from another location and not saved to your site. Check “Import External Images” and press “Update” to add them.
