 The WebMailPro Web Page Publishing System is designed to help you get information on your website quickly and easily.

Professional web site designers and programmers are normally burdened with many concerns:

·            Understanding and writing web page code

·            Designing the appearance of the web site

·            Deciding how to organize information on the website

·            Making the web site easy to navigate

·            Having to move files around on a computer network to create and update the web site

·            Making sure the website works on anyone's computer

Only after addressing all these issues can a web site designer concentrate on the most important part of a website:

Providing information to the people who visit the website looking for that information.

The WebMailPro Web Page Publishing System eliminates all the problems that get in the way of creating a website. All you will ever have to worry about is one simple thing:

Filling out a form to add information to your website.

By reducing the complexity of website creation to this one simple task, it possible for anyone to make a website quickly and easily!

Getting Started

Use the Web Page link to access the publishing system.

There are always two versions of your website:

1.     The Draft Version

This is your work in progress. You can make one or many additions or changes to your website and then look at the result to see if you like it.

2.     The Final Version

This is the public version of your website that everyone can visit. Once you are satisfied with your Draft Version, click on the Commit Changes link at the top of the page. This will copy all your changes to the Final Version.

To create your first web page:

1.     Click the New Content link at the top of the page

2.     Select what Type of content you want to add

3.     Fill out the form with the appropriate information

4.     Click on the Save Draft button

After you save the draft version, you are shown the web page with the information you just created.

Entering New Content

There are ten different types of web pages you can make. Each type of web page will have its own form to fill out.

·      Some form fields are optional, and can be left blank. If you do not change the default text that appears when the form is initially shown on the web page, the form field will be considered left blank, and the default text will not be shown.

·       Some form fields are required, and must have some sort of information in them.

·       If any required form fields are left blank, you will be reminded to put information in them if you try to save the draft.

The process of making a web page and making content for that page are combined into a single form. For instance, when making a homework page:

·       If there are no homework pages yet, you will be asked What do you want to name your Homework Page? with a space to name the Homework page. When you Save Draft, a homework page will be created with that name, containing the homework assignment you entered.

·       If there are existing homework pages, you will presented with a drop-down box you can use to pick which Homework Page to put the homework assignment on. You can also click on the New Homework Page... button to create a new Homework page for your assignment.

The Rich Text Editor

When making content for some web page types you can make use of a Rich Text Editor, which lets you change the font, size, and color of your content, as well as add links and pictures.

The Rich Text Editor works in most modern browsers, specifically:

·                     Internet Explorer Version 5 or above on a Windows computer

  ·            Firefox Version 1 or above on just about any computer, including Macintosh and Linux

·                        Mozilla Version 1.4 or above on just about any computer, including Macintosh and Linux

This illustration shows the main parts of the

Rich Text Editor. Explanations of each

part are below.

A.    The Style Toolbars

These buttons and drop-down boxes let you control the style of the text.

B.    The Editor Window

This is where you type in your text. You can select areas of text in this window and use the buttons in the Style Toolbars to change the style of the text.

C.    The Mode Selector

These radio buttons let you control the view in the Editor window.

·               Preview Mode lets you see the text as it will appear on the web page.

·       Text Mode lets you see the Web Page code that is created when you use the Rich Text Editor. If you understand HTML, you can edit this code directly if you wish.

If the Rich Text Editor isn't available on your browser, you will still be able to enter plain text, or your own HTML code if you wish.

The Rich Text Editor is available for the following Page Types:

·         Home Page

·         Blog

·         Homework Assignments

·         Lesson Plans

·         Bulletin Board
