Section 1: WebSite 2.0 Startup Walkthrough & Overview

1. Accessing your administrator panel

Refer to the URL we provided after completing your site, but typically the admin panel will be accessed by typing the following URL format into your browser:

http://yourdomain.com/admin

2. Login

Enter the user id and password we provided:

3. The Web Admin Panel

Click on the "Content" section.

On the next screen you'll be presented with the basic types of content available for editing on your site. Select the option you wish to modify. There are two main types:

1. Pages
2. News items (sometimes referred to as blogs, or "blank of the month")

The process for adding content in any editable section is the same but there are a few minor differences in options between pages and news items.

If you are editing pages please go to step 4 below. If you are editing news module features please click here.

4. Current Pages View

This screen displays all the pages in your site that are enabled for WebSite 2.0. The only selections you will make on this screen are the page names in the far left column (highlighted in green below).

5. Click on one of the page names to change its content

6. Edit View

The page edit view is the workspace you'll use to change or create new content. It's structured and works very much like a word processor.

There are three main areas you'll work with to edit content:

1. The icon tool bar

2. The edit content pane

3. The application buttons to preview and save your changes

7. Make changes or additions to existing content

To make changes to the text content highlight a selection of text with your mouse then press the delete key.

Now type in your new text. You can add additional paragraphs and text just as you would in a word processor. It is not necessary to change fonts or other options as the text will be formatted to the style we have already set up for your site.

8. Previewing your changes

After you've made the changes, press the "preview" button at the bottom of the Edit Content Pane.

A Preview Pane opens above the Edit Content Pane showing your site as it will appear with our design style applied to your changes. An example of modified text is highlighted in the Preview Pane screen shot below.

If you don't like how your new text appears, simply make changes in the Edit Content Pane (now below the Preview Pane) and  preview again until the text looks exactly how you like.

9. Saving your changes

Press the Submit button and your site is updated.

10. Logging out

After submitting your changes you'll be taken back to the Current Pages screen. Click on the "View Site" menu option to view your live site with your changes now applied.

We recommend that you Logout of the Admin Panel when you're done editing.
