HOME PAGE OVERVIEW

The HOME page is seperated into elements with a horizontal line after each element. You can add to or modify or delete any item at any time. The proceedures for adding an element are described below.

You will need to scroll down the page to see the elements which are located under the main menu buttons. When you see an element that you want to modify, click the 'UPDATE' button under the element. When you click the button, the page reloads itself with a new TEXT AREA box open to the actual content for that element. In order to see this TEXT AREA box, you will have to scroll down once again to the point on the page where the item is located.

Make any changes you want and then hit 'SUBMIT'. You may then go to your HOME page button to see the changes that you have just made. Sometimes you may need to hit the REFRESH button on your browser to see the new modifications due to the fact that your Browser settings may be set to cache the older versions. A new REFRESH of the page will reveal the new changes.

How do I add a new Headline?

Click on the Add New Headline button. You will see an input area where you can type in the headline. The headline will always be displayed in a bold font. You can use this as a headline or what ever you want to draw attention to.

Tip: Number your display orders by 100's so you will be able to insert new elements without having to reorder previous or subsequent entries.

How do I add a new paragraph?

Click on the ADD PARAGRAPH button. You will see an input appear just above the preview area of your Home Page editor. Type in the text you want and input the display order number. Keep in mind the display order numbering tip as mentioned above.

You can add HTML tags to your text in the paragraphs. This allows you to actually format the structure of the paragraph as a web page if you are familiar with HTML.

Some helpful tags are displayed below.

How do I add a new image

How do I add a new Callout?

A callout is a small area of the page that floats to the left or right side of the page and has a background color to set it apart from the main body of the page calling the attention of the reader out of the text. Hence the name "callout".

The process is a combination of techniques that are used in the Paragraph input and the Picture input. Identical options are availabale. You do not have to have an image but it is available if needed.
