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.
