Creating a new page
A Web page is a file on the World Wide Web usually created with hypertext links to enable navigation from one page or section to another. Creating new pages in the CMS is done via the following procedure:
- Click on the folder in the right-side directory under which you would like to create the new page.
- Click on the "Create New" tab.
- Type the File Name, the name of the file such as "filename.htm". Don't forget to add the ".htm" extension to the name. File names may not contain spaces. They may contain hyphens (-) or underscores (_).
- Click No where it asks if you are creating a directory.
- Click "Save File."
- You will receive a confirmation that the file has been created.
- The new file will appear in the left navigation box.
- Click on the file name.
- The editing screen will appear.
- In the boxes at the top type:
- Menu Name: This is the name of the link that will automatically appear on the left navigation menu of the website. It can be more then one word. It cannot exceed 30 characters and should accurately describe the linked content. If you do not wish for the page to be listed on the left-hand menu, leave this blank.
- Page Title: Enter the title of the page. The title should describe the page content. The title shows at the top of the browser and is also seen as the link title in many search engines.
Note: You do not need to put "Seminole State - Department/Area Name" in the title. This is done automatically by the CMS. For the first page in any directory, simple title it "Home Page".
- Select the desired template from the drop-down menu. The templates determine the "look" of the page. Templates for your area will be listed first in the listing under "Local Templates."
- Click "Save File" to update the new page.
- Select the desired template from the drop-down menu. The templates determine the "look" of the page. Templates for your area will be listed first in the listing under "Local Templates."
- Click on the "Meta Data" tab. In the "Description" field enter the description of the page. The description must be a complete sentence and reflect the content of the page. In the "Keyword" box, type the keywords by which the page can be found using a search engine. Do not put commas in between the keywords and do not repeat words.
- Type or paste the page content into the "content" field. All page formatting must match Seminole State style and usability standards. Please see the "Style and Formatting" instructions for more information.
- Click "Save File" to save the page edits.
Note: New pages that have not yet been published may be viewed by clicking on the preview icon located above the content editing area.
