Click the + sign to add a new page (from your list of Content pages)
A general tip is also to use two windows when you set up a new page (you get to choose one or two windows).  I usually put links on the right and text on the left. But that’s up to you of course. You can also copy pages so you don’t have to copy and paste the same links from page to page. Then you can rename the page on the General tab.

 

Nested Child Pages: If you want to add yet another level to your navigation, here's the way to do it:

Create a new Child page (New Page instructions above).  In the "General Tab", unclick the checkbox. 

 

Then just add a link to your new page.  The page will not show up in the left navigation, but you still can create another level of pages. 

 

You can add links to other web pages or to websites by adding a Files & Links Component (preferred), a Links Component or by highlighting the text in a Text Component.

 

In a Text Component, highlight the text you'd like to link, and then click the chain icon. In the dialogue box that opens, add the URL that the link will go to.  Don't forget to add the entire web address including the http://www.website.com (or open the page and copy and paste from the address bar) and then click the drop down that says Target.  Choose "New Window." This is recommended so your visitor doesn't need to use the back button to return to your page.    

 

In a Links Component, after you add a new link, just check the box “Display Link in New Window.”   

You can avoid taking the background and avoid other text issues when you copy and paste text if you use the clipboard icon with the straight lines on it to paste your text.  That strips all the extraneous code out of the text. Or you can use the clipboard with the W on it to retain formatting but lose the background if you paste from Word.

Any page you add will show up in your left column navigation but… if you don’t want it to show up there, just add a new page and go to the General Settings tab.  

To NEST or HIDE a Page: Uncheck the box "Show in Dynamic Navigation." 

Hiding a page is useful if you're still working on it and don't want it seen just yet, or if you want to create a page just for a specific purpose or class that is not for the general public.  Since it won't be seen in the navigation, you'll need to give the URL to those you want to access the page - similar to password protecting it on your eBoard.

 

To NEST this page, create a link to the page from any page on your site.

Open the page (View Page) and copy the link from the address bar, then paste it into a Link Component or embed in a text box or News Article box by highlighting the text and clicking the chain link button and pasting the link there.

For example:

 

 

You can link to any page this way.

 

TO FORWARD a page to another page - this is useful if you have pages in TWO or more schools and don't want to create 2 or more of the same pages.

Under the General Setting Tab, uncheck the box "Show in Dynamic Navigation."

Scroll down and add a link to the page you want it to go to. When someone clicks the link in the directory for that page, it will forward to the page you have entered.

Under the video on YouTube, hit Share, then Embed, then copy.
Go to your page, add a Script component, Edit, paste the code.  
Add the title or a component header and you’re golden.

If you don't want the video to play on your page, add a link to the video instead.
