4 EDIT YOUR PAGE These steps work to edit any staff page you create, not just your home page. Click the Edit Page in Place icon to open the editor. Edit/Add any information on the page EXCEPT the weird stuff in brackets (this is where the profile info gets added). The editing tools are pretty much the same as any other text editor. Hover your mouse over an icon to see what it does. You can choose a new template (the default is basic blue). If you check the box beside Set as Default Template, all of the pages you make after this will have that template (but you can still change them individually if you want). Be sure to click Submit Article to save your changes. Notice that there is a session timer that tells you how long you have to save your changes. template timer editing tools DO NOT CHANGE THIS INFO edit/add info

5 ADD NEW PAGES Click the Create New Article icon. Add the information you want to share. Be sure to click Submit Article to save your changes. A link to your new page will appear in your navigation bar on your home page. ADD HYPERLINKS TO YOUR PAGES Adding hyperlinks to pages is a great way to share online resources. 1. Highlight the text (or image) that you want to become a link. 2. Click the Link icon in the editing tools (looks like a chain link with a green +). 3. Enter the URL (web address) where you want the link to go. NOTE: It s not mandatory, but it s a good habit to be sure that the Target tab is set to New Window (blank) so that your visitor does not have to leave your page to go to the new one. 2 Be sure to click Submit Article to save your changes. 1 3

6 ADD IMAGES AND FILES TO YOUR PAGES You can add an image or two to spruce up a page. NOTE: Keep reading to find out how to add full photo galleries. You can also easily upload files you want to share. OPTION 1 (more control over how it looks): Go to Insert and click on Local File or Local Image, depending on which one you are wanting to add. Browse to the file/image you want to add and enter any other info, then click OK. OPTION 2 (simple & quick): Click the Add a File or Add an Image from the editing tools. Browse the file/image you want to add and click Open. Be sure to click Submit Article to save your changes. NOTE: When sharing files, it is considered better to share PDF files as they are fairly universal (everyone can open them) and more difficult to edit (so your document integrity is safe). ADD A REDIRECT TO ANOTHER WEBSITE THAT OPENS AUTOMATICALLY You can add a page that automatically opens to another website (a textbook, an outside resource, etc.) This is called an article redirect. Start by adding a new article. Add a little helpful information (as shown below). To add the article redirect, click on Insert, then Article Redirect. Enter the URL (web address) of the site where you want it to go. Be sure to click Submit Article to save your changes.

7 ADD PHOTO GALLERIES TO YOUR PAGES You can add photo galleries to any page you have added. I wouldn t suggest adding a photo gallery to your home page.it tends to mess with the preset formatting. Every page has 3 galleries that will hold up to 25 images each. If you have more than 75 pics to share, you ll need to break them into 2 or more pages (or create a shared folder in your Google Drive to which you can link). Go to the page where you want to add the photo gallery and click on the Edit Images icon. On the Edit Image Galleries page, click the Add Images button. You can either browse for your images or just drag and drop, then click Start Upload.

8 ADD PHOTO GALLERIES TO YOUR PAGES (continued) Once you have uploaded your images, you can add captions or delete pics using the icons below each image. Be sure to click Apply to keep your changes. Click the Article Editor button to return to your page. Image Gallery 1 will always automatically appear on your page in the top right-hand corner. NOTE: You won t be able to see Gallery 1 on your page while you are editing it, but it will show up on the page when you submit the article. Image Galleries 2 & 3 must be inserted where you want them on the page. To insert Galleries 2 and 3, click on the page where you want the gallery to appear, then go to Insert and choose Image 2 or Image 3.

9 ADD PHOTO GALLERIES TO YOUR PAGES (continued) NOTE: Gallery 2 will always be on the left side and Gallery 3 will always be on the right side. Gallery 2 will always be above Gallery 3. Gallery 1 Gallery 2 Gallery 3 DELETE PAGES (but NEVER your home page!) IMPORTANT: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DELETE YOUR HOME PAGE! Removal of your staff home page will most certainly toast your staff website. If you decide that you want to get rid of a page, just go to the page and click the Delete icon.

10 REORDER PAGES (but NEVER your home page!) IMPORTANT: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE ORDER OF YOUR HOME PAGE OR THE RETURN TO SITE PAGE! Changes in these pages will most certainly toast your staff website! To change the order of the pages in your navigation list, click on Content, then Articles. Click on My Staff Pages, then the tiny Edit Article icon. Scroll to the bottom of the Article Editor page and set the priority. The default priority is 100. To set an order, change the priority of your pages (EXCEPT your home page and the Return to Site page) to order them from 100 ( etc.). Click Submit Article to save your changes.
