Editing Google Sites

The symbols for editing are the same as any word processing program. 

In other words, if you can use Microsoft Word, you can make a web page!

a)  Across the top of the editing window are the following:

• "Save" Button - Use to publish your content.
  • BIG Tip #1:  Get in the habit of saving every 5 minutes.
  • BIG Tip #2:  Remember to Edit>Copy before saving (in case the internet connection lags)
• "Cancel" Button - Use when you wish to close the page without publishing content.
• "Insert" Drop down menu - Use to add multimedia & links.
  • Section #1:  Insert image, link, table of contents, horizonatal line
  • Section #2:  Insert Google Content (Calendar, Google Docs, Picasa Photos, Video)                                                              

                         Note:  Since you already have a Gmail account, you already have an account that allows access to all these Web 2.0 tools. 

                         See other sections of the Techcellent Wikitopia Splash/Home page for instructions in their use.

• Section #3:  Insert Google Gadgets (Fun? & Helpful! Tools)
• "Format" drop-down menu - Use to add headings
• "Table" drop-down menu - Use to insert a table or add/delete rows/columns within a table.
• "Layout" drop-down menu - Use to create a one or two column page.

b) Underneath the row described above are the following:

• "Undo"/"Redo"
• Font Style drop-down menu
• Font Size drop-down menu
• Font Effects - Bold, Italics, Underline, Color, Highlight
• "Link" to "Existing page" within the Google Site, or to a "Web address" outside the Site.
  • Tech Tip:  To help keep your audience organized, check the box "Open this link in a new window".
• Numbered List/Bulleted List/Increase Indent/Decrease Indent/Align Left/Align Center/Align Right
• Remove Formatting/Edit HTML Source
  • Note:  The casual user will NOT need to Remove Formatting or Edit the HTML Source.

Remember:  Save Early and Save Often!
