Edit Web Page Text

Once you log in, click on the "Create content" link to create a new page or go to the page you want to edit. "View" and "Edit" links appear at the top of page.

Click on "Edit" to go to an editor window to make formatting and content changes to the web page text.

Required Steps to Create/Edit a page:

1) Enter a Title - All pages require a title. Short titles are best. Avoid using ALL CAPS in your page titles, as they tend to "scream" at the visitor.

2) Add Body Content - Enter your page text content using the editor provided. Although you can copy and paste text from Microsoft Word, use the online editor for best results. Otherwise, you may have trouble trying to modify formatting (Word's formatting commonly causes problems).

3) Submit - Click on the "Submit" button at the bottom to submit your edits. You can also click on the "Preview" button as an intermediate step. Do not click away from the page until you have submitted your work, otherwise you will lose your edits!
