How do I edit the content on my site?

Inside the text editor you can rewrite and format the text as you would in a word processing environment. Click "Save" to apply your changes and close the text editor. Your changes are live on your website.

How do I add a link?

Highlight the word you want to make into a link and click the link button link button. In the pop-up window, insert the full URL in the "Link URL" field and click "Insert." Optionally, you can set the "Target" field to make the link open the page in a new window when clicked.

How do I link to an email address?

Highlight the word you want to make into an email link and click the link button link button. In the pop-up window, insert "mailto:name@yoursite.com" in the "Link URL" field and click "Insert." It is not necessary to set any other fields. When a visitor clicks on the link, a blank email window will pop up in their default email program, containing that address.

How do I link to a document?

Highlight the word you want to make into a link and click the link button link button. In the pop-up window, click on the Documents tab. This tab displays a list of the documents you've uploaded to your site. Copy a URL. Return to the General tab. Paste the URL into the "Link URL" field, then click "Insert."

Why is my document link showing a 404 Not Found error?

The problem is probably due to the file name. Check for double-spaces between words in the file name. The editor has an automatic clean-up function that trims out double-spaces when you click Save. Thus, the link gets broken.

  1. Rename the file on your computer. Take out the spaces - replace them with dashes or underscores.
  2. Re-upload the file to the website using the Upload > Docs page.
  3. Navigate to the page containing the broken link, and correct the link to match the new re-named file. Save your changes.

How do I add images to a page?

How do I create a new page and add it to the menu?

How do I edit the sidebar?

Go to your Sidebar page and make any changes there. The Sidebar page in this management section displays like a normal page in order to accomodate the size of the text editor, but the content still appears on your site within the narrow strip on the side of each page.

Can I put images in the sidebar?

Yes, your images will be automatically scaled down to fit.
