Contribute Tutorial
Create New Pages
All pages on your site are based on templates that
define the colors, layout, and format of all the information
on your site. Using Contribute, you can create a new page based
on the same template so that it is consistent with other pages
on the Western website.
- From the "File" menu, select "New Page"
- In the new window that opens, on the left side there will
be a list of files and directories. Find the directory called "Templates"
- In the Templates directory you will find a list of all
the templates used to create your site. Clicking on each
file name will show a preview in the box to the right of
the file list.
- Click on the template you wish to use.
- Below the preview box is a textbox labeled "Page Title" in
which you will name the page you're creating.
This is a user friendly descriptive title. (do not confuse
the title with a file name which is very short and has a
three letter extension such as: index.html)
- When you are done, click "OK" to create the new page.
- You can now edit the page as you would any other page already
on the site.
- When you are done with your new page, click on "Publish"
- If you haven't yet created a link to the new page, a dialog
box will warn you that the page is not accessible. Click "Yes" for
now as we will worry about linking to the page later.
-
You are now asked to create a filename
for the page. You should choose a word that describes the
content on the page. For example, the filename of this
page is
newpages.html because
it describes how to create new pages. In your filenames,
do not use any capital letters or punctuation and try to
keep it as short as possible. Also, do not forget the four
letter extension ".html" at the end.
-
Before publishing your new page, remember
to Edit
the Keywords & Description.
- Click on "Publish" when your new page is ready to be accessed.
-
You can now link to the page you've created.
To find out how, read the tutorial on Creating
Links.
