Website Editor Tutorial

Website Editing Tutorial

The first step is to open Mozilla Firefox (Internet Explorer does not work as well) and navigate to the log-in page. You may want to bookmark this to save time in the future. Enter your assigned username and password in the appropriate fields.

login

After you log in, navigate to the page you would like to edit. You will notice when you hover over the content an edit button on the top right of the page. Click the edit button.

Once inside the edit menu, you will see your page content and a toolbar (see below.) You may be familiar with some of the tools as they are similar to those used in Microsoft Word. You can hover over each icon to reveal the name of the tool. You can change any of the content just like you would in any word processor.

To insert an image click on the icon that looks like a tree (see below.)



You will then see a small window pop up. Click the button the arrow is pointing to (see below.)


Another large window will pop up. Click the upload button at the top of this window. Then click browse and find your image. After you select your image click upload.

To change the alignment and spacing of the photo click on new image then click the tree icon. A box will come up and the extra options can be found under the appearance tab. You may want to add 5 horizontal and vertical spacing so your image will have more space around the text. Click update and your image will adopt the changes.
