Your personal website comes with a single page by default, but you may choose to create a site with as many pages as you like. Those pages may be organized into a set of folders (sub sections or mini sites) and you may add as much content, pictures, and resources as you wish.
1. Click the My Websites button at the top of your portal page.
2. Click Add on the top left side.
2. Select Page from the pull-down menu.
3. Enter a title.
4. Choose a template (we recommend the use of the templates with navigation).
Other options include a URL Name (short name) and the ability to exclude the page from navigation. Unlike your default teacher page, a new page you choose to add will not have any elements on it to begin with. Luckily it is very easy to add elements.
Adding Elements
1. Click any of the green + on the page to add an element to that location. Most of the element are self explanatory, but you can find more details about each of the elements on our webmaster help pages.
If you do not like the placement of an element you've added, simply drag it to another location on the page.
Moving Elements
1. Hover your cursor over the element until you see the crossed arrows.
2. Click and hold the left mouse button down.
3. Drag the element to any Plus Sign on the page until the light green bar turns a darker green.
4. Release the mouse.
Publish Pages
When working on a new page or after making changes to a published page, the changed elements will be displayed with an orange title bar. The orange color indicates you're working on a draft. You can click Save Draft if you wish to save changes without publishing them. Use this with caution: clicking Cancel means your unpublished changes will not be saved. You may preview your draft pages by clicking the Preview Draft button near the top right of the page. The preview opens in a new window or tab and may be closed without losing content.
The Live View button will open a preview of the published version of the page so that you can easily compare your daft with the live version of the page. If the page has never been published, the label "Page Never Published" appears in place of the Live View button.
When you're satisfied with the page you've built and the content you've added, click the Publish button at the top of the page.
