• Content Management System
    When you login as an administrator (www.___________.com/administrator), you will come to a page with shortcuts to the main sections of the back-end of your web site. Most of the front-end content posted to date can be accessed in the Article Manager (2nd button from left, also located in the top bar under "Content > Article Manager"). This is where the viewable content of the site is housed and edited.
  • To edit pages
    Once in the Article Manager, you can browse for the page you need to access by typing the name of the page in the search box, or you can scroll through the list to find the page you are looking for. Click on the page you wish to see, and you will see the WYSIWYG editor just under the main heading of the site. This is where you can edit any text, notes, etc. If an administrator is logged in, no one else can edit the page the are on, so you don't need to worry about anyone overwriting the existing content.
