=Adding a New Page to your Teacherpages Website =

New pages are easily added to your website.

After logging in, click on **Create Page** from **Site Actions**.

Type the name of the new page in the '**Title'** text box. This is the name that appears in the URL and therefore it is important that you follow these rules when naming a page:

1. Page name should describe contents of web page.

2. If the page name is multiple words, type it as ONE WORD at this point. You can choose to differentiate between words by beginning each new word with a capital letter. For example, a page titled "About the Teacher" should initially be titled 'AboutTheTeacher'. Spaces in the title are added later.

3. DO NOT use any punctuation marks in the page title at this point. Punctuation will be added later.

4. Proofread the page title. Use the Check Spelling button. A new page with a misspelled word cannot be corrected. It will need to be deleted and then recreated.

5. You can choose to add a description. This description is what would appear under the page title in a list of web page hits from a search.

6. Do not type anything in the URL Name text box. The page URL is automatically generated when the page is created.

7. The page type 'Teacher Blank Page' is the default page type and is the page type you will most often need. You may choose to create another Links page if you want different links pages for each curriculum area or for a special project. You may also choose to create a WebPart page.

8. Click Create when done.

//Once the new page has been created, you can begin adding content, or you can proceed with the next steps.//

The title of the new page may need to be edited if it requires spaces in the title and/or punctuation marks.

1. From **Site Actions**, select '**View All Site Content**'.



2. On the All Site Content page, under **Document Libraries**, click to open the **Pages** folder.

When the list of all of the pages of your website appears, the newly added page will appear in alphabetical order and will have '**! New** ' next to it. Click on the down arrow next to the page name and select **Edit Properties**.

(This is also where you can choose to delete a page you have created. Be sure to only delete pages YOU created.)

Here is where you can edit the page title.

Click in the TITLE text box and add needed spaces and/or punctuation.
 * DO NOT edit anything in the Name * text box.**

After editing the title, click the OK button.

Your new page will default to the end of the navigation bar. In most cases, the link back to your school should be the last item in the navigation bar. You will need to move the new page somewhere up the list of pages.

From **Site Actions** move your mouse down to **Site Settings** and then over and down to **Modify Navigation**.

On the Site Navigation Settings page, scroll down to **Navigation Editing and Sorting**. The newest page will be at the bottom of the list.

Click on the page you want to move and then click **Move Up** to move the page to the desired location.

If the page is not ready to be viewed, you can also choose to hide the page by clicking **Hide**. You can then work on the page at your leisure and then Show when ready. You can also use the Hide feature to hide a page that you have created but no longer need but do not want to delete because you may use it again at a later date.

Click OK button when done.
