Adding and Deleting Pages in Your Web Template

Your new web comes with several pre-designed pages. Browse through your new web to decide what pages you want to delete and what other pages you need to add. You may wish to begin adding some content to help you with this process.

To delete pages from your web, right-click in your Folder List OR in Folders View on the file you wish to delete and select "Delete."

To add pages to your web, you may choose to add pages using a FrontPage page template or by resaving an existing page.

Adding Pages using a FrontPage Page Template:
This method only works IF your web template comes with a Page Template.

1. If you do not have the right taskbar open, go to File/New.

   

2. In the right taskbar, under "New from Template," choose "Page Templates."

   
    

3. Choose from the list of page templates. Our page templates (if included) will install into the "My Templates" directory.

   
    

4. Click "OK" and your new page will be created. Save your new page into your web and save any embedded images into the "images" folder by going to File/Save. Then, click on the "Web Site" tab and go to Navigation View by clicking the "Navigation" button at the bottom of the screen. Drag your page into your navigation structure.

   
5. You may need to adjust the properties of your link bars. Go back to Page View and double-click on the link bars. The "Link Bar Properties" dialog box will pop up. If you need more help, take a look at our navigation view tutorial.

Adding Pages by Resaving an Existing Page

This is useful if you have made some layout changes that you wish to apply to other pages. Simply go to File/Save As and save your page under a different name.

See Steps 3 and 4 above to learn about bringing your new page into navigation view.

*About Saving Pages

When you save your page, you will need to change the file name as well as the page title.

The page title may have spaces in it, and it will show up in your navigation buttons and banners as well as in the Title bar of the browser.

The file name ends in an .htm or .html extension and shows up in your Folder List. It's best to use all lowercase letters; also make sure that there are no spaces -- you can use hypens or underscores instead. You will probably want to name it similar to your Page Title so that you can easily tell what page it is.

Example:
Page Title: "All About Me"
Good File Names: allaboutme.htm; all_about_me.htm; about.htm
Bad File Names: all about me.htm; About Me.htm
