Adding Text to Your Site
|
Elements are the 'building blocks' of a site. Your paragraph titles, text, the pictures and videos along with all the other content are added using the elements.
Adding an element to a site is as simple as clicking the mouse down on that element and dragging it to a page. Simply drag the Text element into the content area of the site.
The text element is exactly what it sounds like: an element for writing text. Click inside the element and begin typing. You can write a word, a sentence, or multiple paragraphs in a single element.
As you write, take note of the gray toolbar at the top of the element. This is the text toolbar and it allows basic changes to the formatting of your text. It works like any other text toolbar: select the text you want to change and click the appropriate button to make that change.
From left to right, you can bold your text, italicize it, underline it, make it bigger, make it smaller, change the color, create a link, adjust the alignment of all text within the element, create bulleted or numbered lists, and remove formatting.
You may notice that one thing you cannot do is change the font family. That particular setting is controlled elsewhere (but just as easily changed).
To add more text to the page we could continue writing in this same element, drag on another paragraph element, or use one of the other text elements:
Title: Used for adding paragraph titles / headers to a page. Text: The text element, for adding paragraphs. Image + Text: A text element with a place for an image. These elements use the same text editing toolbar as noted above and you can stack as many of them as needed on the page.
Let's look at the next section; How do you add images. |
