3.1 Page Titles & Text Content
The content window lets you focus on your content without having to worry about the
design. It will help you add your text and page titles quickly and easily, so that you can
maintain a fast workflow, and move smoothly from one page to the next. You can edit
the text at any time and add headings, subheadings, an alternate text style, or leave it
as normal text. The four text style options provide more flexibility for how you lay out
the text and how it looks.
The amount of text that can be entered for your page descriptions is unlimited. You will
be able to layout the text box and/or wrap the text and make other design decisions
like the font attributes, later on in the Layout window. The page titles are unique to
each page. They can say whatever you want them to say and can be as long as you
want them to be. As with your other content, design decisions for the page title, such
as font and position on the page, are made later in the Layout window.
Click the Content tab to open the content window and get started building the content
for your site. Titles and text can be added to both Album and Group pages.

Adding Page Titles
1. Select a page from your navigation list.
2. A text field labeled Page Title will appear at the top of the content window and to the
right of the navigation list. By default, the page title text field will contain the words
"Some Photos".
3. Click inside the text field and give the selected page a new title. The title is also the
text that appears at the top of the browser window once the page is uploaded.
4. If you don't want to include a title for the page, leave the text field blank, or highlight
the existing title text and delete it.
5. Continue down your navigation list, repeating Steps 1-3 to give the rest of your
pages a unique page title. Tip: You can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to
move up and down the pages in the navigation list.
Notes:
• There are no other editing options for the page title text in the Content window; all
editing options for the title, including fonts, are available from the Layout window.
• The page title cannot include a link.

Adding Text Content to a Page
1. Select a page from your navigation list.
2. Just below the Page Title text field, is a larger text field area labeled Page Text
Contents.
3. Click inside the Page Text Contents field to begin entering some text. You can input
as much or as little text into this box as you want. It can be whatever you want it to
be, a brief description that introduces the pictures, a description about the context
of the photos, or an entire story, timeline, or journal about the pictures.
4. To not include any text at all, simply leave the text contents box blank.
5. To have a text-only page, enter the text in the text contents box, but do not include
any photos for this page. Remember that you can adjust the sections of the
content window. So if you are creating a text-only page, it's very handy to expand
the text contents box to gain more work space area.

Editing the Text Contents
The Content editor lets you do some quick and basic edits to your text contents for
each page. These editing options include text alignment, bold, italicize, and/or
underline the text, and four different text settings to choose from: Normal, Heading,
Subheading, and Alternate. These four text settings can be edited for font attributes in
the Layout window. Also note that the spell checker is available from the text contents
box (Control-Click or Right-click on the text).
1. To align the text, click anywhere on the text to select it. Then click the
corresponding icon at the top right corner of the text contents box. Choose from
one of the left, center, or right align icons. You do not have to select and
highlight the text for the alignment to be applied; you only need to click on it.
2. To make different lines of text align differently, include a carriage return between
the lines. Then click anywhere on the separated line of text, and click the desired
alignment from the icons.
3. To underline ( U ), italicize ( I ), or bold ( B ) some text, select and highlight it with
your mouse and click the corresponding icon located at the top right corner of the
text contents box.
4. You can add Headings, Subheadings, and an Alternate style to your text contents
as well. Click on the line of text you would like to change; then choose an option
from the pop up list located beside the other text editing tools. All text on the
selected line will change.
5. You can underline, italicize, bold, or align heading, subheading, and alternate text,
the same way you would with normal text, as outlined in Steps 1-3.
6. To make this text normal again, click on it with your mouse and select Normal
from the pop up list.
