    Adding Links

    Along with images, you can add links in other locations or even with your images. For example, you can have a direct link to a site using this text:

    <a href="http://www.netopia.com">Netopia, Inc.</a>


    Adding HTML Tags

    You can liven up your page by adding a few HTML tags into any of the text areas within your Web site. Here's a list of simple HTML tags that you can use to spice up your office:

    <P> is used to start a new Paragraph. Simply type <P> in front of the first letter of each new paragragh you would like to make.

    <B> can be used to make your text bold. Simply type <B> before each word that you'd like to make bold, and then type </B> after that word to close it out.

    <I> can be used to make your text into italics. Simply type <I> before each word that you'd like to italicize, and then type </I> after that word to close it out.

    <U> can be used to underline your text. Simply type <U> before each word that you'd like to underline, and then type </U> after that word to close it out.

    <LI> can be used to make bulleted items. Simply type <LI> in front of each item that you would like to bullet.

    <BR> can be used to add a break between sentences. Simply type <BR> between an area you'd like to break up.

    <center> can be used to center justify your text, or images. Simply type <center> before the item that you would like centered and then type </center> after the item to close it out.

    <H1> through <H6> can be used to change the size of your text, with <H1> being the largest, and <H6> being the smallest. Simply type <H1> before the text that you'd like bigger, and then close it out by typing </H1> after the text.



    Adding Images to Your Custom HTML Page

    • Go through the process of uploading the image to your Web site (see Beginning Users for instructions).
    • After saving the image, right click your mouse on top of it, and select "copy link location".
    • Paste the link location directly after the image source code:
      <img src="http://site.netopia.com/USERNAME/nss-folder/pictures/filesname.gif">



    • Uploading Files Into Your Files Folder


    • Sign into your editor by clicking the "Sign In" button at the bottom right side of your Home page.
    • Click the "Site Manager" button at the top of your editor
    • Select the "Down Load Files" page to edit
    • Create a new folder by clicking on the "Add Folder" button
    • Name the Folder and then Click the "Create Folder" page.
    • Click the "Save" button
    • You'll then be brought to your "Files Folder" page where you can upload files into the folder you just created
    • Click the link to the folder you just created
    • Click the "Upload" button
    • Click the "Browse" button
    • Select the file you'd like to add to your Web site from the area where it is stored on your computer (e.g., Desktop, C drive). The file's path will appear in the window. Verify that it is the file you want, and then click "Upload."
    • Remember to save your changes by clicking on the Save button. You can then view your new picture in your Web site.

    Note: You can upload any type of file you wish, but your visitors will only be able to view the file if they have the appropriate applications to run it. For example if you were to upload an Excel spreadsheet, your visitors would have to have Excel in order to view that file.


    How Do I Set Security for a Page?


    • Click the "Site Manager" button.
    • Put a check in the checkbox to the left of the page for which you want set security.
    • Click the Security button. This will open a "Set Access" page.
    • Select with a check in the box if you wish the page to have public read access and/or public write access. This will determine who has access to view or alter your page and its contents. If you have people you'd like to give access to the page, and you have not selected public access to read, write, or both, you will need to provide them access.
    • To provide user-specific access, click "Click Here" to add a new user.
    • Enter a user name and password for each user (or a group of users).
    • Click the Save button.
    • Select with a check in the check box next to the user's name read, write access, or both.
    • Click the "Save" button. If you wish to edit or delete a user's name and/or, click the edit or delete button next to the specified user's name. Remember to click the Save button if you make any changes.

    Note: If you disallow Public access to certain pages, such as the Discussion Page, visitors will not be able to utilize the interactive services in your site. In the example of the Discussion Page, visitors would not be able to read the discussion postings or write responsive posts. Note: Your owner name and password will allow YOU access to any pages you restrict, so you, as the owner, will not need to use the user names and passwords you set for restricted pages.
