Web Editor – User Notes
Access editing through: www.cheshirewi.org.uk/admin
Your login details will take you to the profile page
Move your mouse up to highlight Pages
(The other tabs are dashboard at the top and collapse menu at the bottom)
Hover and select all pages
Hover over your WI name and the editing option can be seen
Click on Edit
There are two sections to your web page.
The top box fills the area with a cream background on your web page.
The bottom box fills the page itself.
You can type in text and choose to make it bold or italics etc.
You can add links to other web pages or email addresses by highlighting some text
then clicking on the little chain icon – remember to tick the box to make your link
open in a new page before you save the link
You can add media – that is separate photos.
There is a gallery of photos set up on your page for you. Careful you don’t
backspace over the gallery or it will be erased – contact the web editor, Rachel, to
have it put back if this happens.
Be careful to click on the little
editing pencil not the cross
which will delete the whole
Gallery
Click on the editing pencil to enter the gallery
Upload files from your own computer
Or make use of the exisiting files
you can type into the search box if you can’t find the picture you uploaded – name
them before you upload them then you have a reference name to look for.
Click on the picture you want to use and a little tick appears on them all then click
update gallery.
You can also add documents and tables – you can easily prepare all your page in a
word document on your computer then copy and paste to the web page when you
are ready. Upload documents and attach them to the page in the same way as
photographs by clicking on Add Media
If you add a caption to a picture or document it is added to your page with a boder
around it
If you just add a single picture to your page you can make it quite small on the page
by pulling in the corners. When you click on it on the live website the picture opens
up to full size on the users own computer.
To add photos or documents to your page you must first upload them to the website
– full details of how to do this are in your guidance notes. Once uploaded media files
can be added to your page wherever you like and as many times as you like.
Its sometimes useful to take a picture on your computer of something like your WI
programme. You can then upload it as a jpg and add it to your page and resize it
quite small. When a visitor to your page then clicks on the image it opens up full size
on their computer.
Look for the PrtScr key – you may have to hold down the ctrl key at the same time –
you can then ‘paste’ into a word document or the ‘paint’ programme
found in the accessories area of your computer’s programmes
Crop the screen dump down to what you want to use, copy and paste into your
webpage
If you are unable to add headings where you want them copy and paste existing
headings and overtype them with the words you want – typing will default to
paragraph font when you press return for the next line
Useful key strokes:
Ctrl + C = copy
Ctrl + V = paste
Ctrl + X = cut/delete
Ctrl + Z = undo last action
Useful App – Fotor for making picture collages
