ADDING SECTIONS: THE BASICS

Now that the basic look of the site is set up, it’s time to add content. But before you start adding pages, take a moment to map out your site.

Let’s say you want the following sections in your site:

• Grants
• Research
• Biography
• Lab Staff
• Publications
  

You would create a folder for each of those sections in the root directory of your site. To add a folder:

• Click “add item” in the top row of buttons and select “folder”.

• Type in the title of the folder (the name of the section) and a brief description if you want, and click “save”.
  
  

• Notice that there is now a “Grants” link added to the navigation bar on the left. If you’re using the first template, you’ll also see “Grants” added as a tab at the top of your page.
  

Repeat these steps for each of the sections. Remember to click on the top link in the left-hand navigation menu to return to the homepage (root directory) before adding each new folder. Otherwise you’ll be adding new folders inside the folder you just created. When you’re done, you should have something that looks like this:
