CMS

Note: With the new clients and HTML5, there are a few instances of RTF (rich test format) characters than are not being fully resolved. If you choose to copy and paste from a word document using rtf, you may see some characters in the final text that are not resolved, in particular the single (') and double (") apostrophe. The solution is to replace them on the website page or run your block of text through a text editor prior to pasting into the website.

Login

• Start with the 'Edit Page' selection to edit the page or to add a new record

• Once on the page you will have a choice of boxes to fill in your data.
  (This is only an example, your website may have additional text areas as developed.)
  
  A few boxes to note are the email, this will have 2 fields, the first is the visible field, what the viewer will see, the second box is the actual email address which can contain additional information. Usually the 2 entries will be identical.
  
  The Add New Record will only be visible to admin's and may be on a different page and is used to create a new record.
  
  The Preview selection can be used After Saving to see your changes without the editing icons.
