Putting on Pages

Once you have added your Site Information, the next thing to do is to add some of the Pages that you want eg Home Page, Contact Us, About Prostate Cancer. When you select the Pages tab and then the Add New tab, you will be presented with the screen below. There is an explanation of each numbered section beneath it.

Pages are displayed as tabs if they are top-level pages but as sub-pages if they are added beneath a top-level page. So, the About Prostate Cancer tab might have Treatment Options, Side Effects and Links to Other Cancer Sites as sub-pages.

These tabs let you Add, Edit or Change the Order of the Pages. The screen displayed is the Add a new page one.

The Name of the page eg Home or Contact Us. It is important to remember that once you have created a name, whilst it's possible to change it, any links to that page - not only on your site but also other sites - will no longer work. You can of course change your own links but not other websites. So it's worth getting the name right to start off with.

The Type refers to the type of content you want for the page. The choices on the drop-down menu are as follows:

Basic Content	the most common type which gives you a blank canvas on which to work.
Calendar	useful for listing all your forthcoming events including such details as Event Name, Start and End Date and Time, Location, Map Reference and some free text about the event.
Contact	useful for listing, for example, your committee members with their Name, Role, Telephone Number, Email Address, Picture and some free text about them.
Gallery	To display pictures eg of fundraising events with free text to describe them.
News	Useful for reporting news about your group eg the report of your AGM, how successful a particular fundraising event was. Keep your members up to date with what your group have been doing. Or what Tackle has been doing!

This shows whether the page can be seen by people browsing your site (Enabled) or not.

This allows you to choose who the Parent of the page is. The drop-down menu shows all the Pages on your site. If you don't select one, it will be a top-level page. If you want it to appear under one of the top-level pages or a sub-page, select that top-level page or sub-page from the list.
When it is displayed, you will know that there is a sub-level page as there will be a small down-arrow symbol on the tab.

This section (and section 7 below) determine where the page appears in the header section of each page on your site or the footer section. The default is the header section and that is what you will use the most. The footer section (where it appears as a link rather than as a tab) is normally used for pages such as Disclaimer or Privacy Policy. It would be very unusual to have the page appearing in both sections.

See section 6 above.

The Search fields allow you to control what search engines (eg Google) will index for you. This is an advanced section and a tutorial will be added as soon as possible. It is suggested that you do not key anything in these fields.

Clicking the Add button adds the page. Important!
