Setting up your Home Page

  • In most cases, we've set up a sample home page with simple instructions to get your started.
  • Log in with your user name and password
  • Click 'Administer' in the lefthand column, then under 'Content Management', click 'Content'.
  • Find the 'Home Page'  under 'Title' (if this is the first page you're workng on, it's probably the only thing here). 
  • Click  'edit' under 'Operations' for the 'Home Page'.
  • Body: Edit the Content of the page
    • This includes a WYSIWYG editor (What You See Is What You Get). It works like a simplified version of Microsoft Word. All of the functions of the editor are accessible with icons across the top of the editor. If you scroll over the icons, their names will be displayed so you can find what you need. At this time, the Justify Text commands (right, left, center) are not activated.
    • Replace the sample text with your own.
      • Simply highlight the sample text you see here and type in your own.
      • You can also write your text in Microsoft Word, Worpad or some other editor and paste it here.
      • You can type directly into the editor. ‘Enter’ starts a new paragraph, ‘Shift and Enter’ makes a new line/line break, (like ‘return’ on a typewriter). 
    • Adding Images
      • HINT: To be safe, after you have all of your text in place, go ahead an save your page. Then open it for editing again to add images.
      • See the adding images article.
  • Publishing Settings
    • Make sure that  ‘promote to home page’ is checked. If you would like for this to be the only content on the home page, then make sure it’s the only page marked as such. You can have multiple items on the front page, they’ll appear as articles with the title as the headline.
  • Click ‘Save’ t the bottom of the page and you’re done!
