| Some general comments:
1) There is no spell check within the interface. It is strongly suggested that you type all text into your favorite word processor, spell check it, then cut and paste it into the interface. 2) At this time some characters may cause strange effects - I will look into addressing this in the near future, but in the mean time avoid using quotation marks ("), apostrophes ('), less than symbols (<), and greater than symbols (>). 3) After changing text, do not hit the "refresh" button or "reload" button without saving first. |
| It is recommended that you change the image first. Under the
current image is listed the correct size for your new image. You
need to locate an appropriate image and save it to a known location on
your hard drive ahead of time. You should also crop and/or resize your
image before you get to this point. Information on cropping and resizing
is elsewhere in the manual.
Click on the current image. This will open a new browser window. The upload page specifies the allowable file types and the proper size. Click the "Browse" button to locate the image you want to use. |
 |
 |
| When the "Choose file" Dialog box appears, select the file you wish to use. Then click on the "Open" button. |  |
Now click on he "Upload Image" button.
 
 |
| Changing Welcome Title: Replace the text in the box. Remember
to pay attention to proper capitalization and spelling.
Opening Paragraph: Replace part or all of the text in the Opening Paragraph text box. Note that the box does have a scroll bar so you can make the paragraph as long as you like.
Remaining Text: Replace part or all of the text in the Remaining text box. Note that the box does have a scroll bar so you can make the text entry as long as you like.
When you have made all the changes, click on the "Save" button.
You will see a message indicating that the update has been completed. This window should close in 5 seconds, if it does not, close it yourself.  |
