Help Center: How do I use the Content Management System?
*Click on any image on this page to see a larger version of it.*
Our content management system allows you to create powerful, great-looking websites faster
and more easily. You may log into your website from any computer connected to the internet,
allowing you to maintain your own content when and how you want to. Your CMS is customized
to your specific web maintenance needs. Here are the basics on how to use it:
Where to Start
To begin, click on the administrative link which we will have sent you.
The first screen you see will be the login screen. Enter the username and password we
will have given you in the spaces provided, and click on "login".
|
|
Do I have to know HTML?
No. If you have the Internet Explorer browser (the blue 'e'), Netscape, or Firefox,
then you can use the webpage editor. It is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).
It is very much like editing a document in Microsoft Word or Open Office.

What is a Section?
Sections allow you to organize your webpages so that you can find them more easily within
the content management system.
For example, a section named "About Us" could contain pages
like 'About Our Organization,' 'Our Locations,' 'Contact Us,' and 'Links.'
To add a new section, click on 'Edit sections' in the main administration screen.
|
|
Type the title of the section you wish to add in the box next to "New Section Title". If you would like this to be
a subsection of another section, choose the main section from the drop down box next to "A Subsection Of:"
(circled in red on the image at right).
To rename a section, simply make your changes in the appropriate textbox. The section names
are listed like the one circled in green at right.
To delete a section, check the box next to the section title (circled in orange in the image at right).
You can make one change at a time, or you can make them all at once. Be sure to click on
the "submit" button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.

To Add a New Webpage
On the main administrative screen, under "Edit or add a webpage" at top left,
select the section in which you wish to add a new webpage. Click on the "go" button.
(Please note that you will not be able to add new pages in the Home Page section or
in the Template section if your site has one. If you need to add pages to these sections,
please contact us.)
|
|
On the next screen, click on the "Click to Add a Webpage" button.
Now enter the title you want displayed at the top of your new page.
Underneath that, give your page a filename, which will be used for linking purposes. You
may not have two pages with the same filename. Use underscores (_) instead of spaces, and
do not use symbols in this name.
Example:
Title Name: About our Organization
File Name: about
Once you have entered both the title and the file name, click on "Add Page".
|
|
The next screen confirms that your new page has been added. Select "Editor"
and click on "Add Content".
You will now be able to add your content to the new page. Please see
Editing an Existing Webpage for more information.
