General Editing

The editing screen looks much like a word processor, with features for formatting text ie. bold, italics, alignment. When you roll your cursor over an icon, a text label displays its function. Take a minute to explore the features.
 
Tip: Visit our Getting Started Video Tutorials for in depth training on a number of these icons.

 

Using Heading Tags

Highlight and choose a Heading Tags and pick a Heading type. The standard for formatting titles and sub-tiles is to use Heading styles. These are available in the Paragraph Formatting drop down. These are extra important to use due to the fact search engines can then identify topics and subjects on your page by finding the Heading tags in the code.
