Format web content

Hello and welcome to the Single Digital Presence Content Management System. In this video I’m going to show how to style some content that you’ve just added to a content page. Here I can search for my content page by the title. Put that in there and select Search.  

Now I’ll see my page come up first. Click on edit to go back into draft mode. You’ll also see that the page is locked to me, so no one else will be able to edit it while I’m in there. I know I added some content into this text area, I select edit.  

Now I’ll add some styling to my content. Just a quick note about content, say that there’s no paragraph break between 2 sentences or 2 phrases and you try and make this one a heading 2, what it will do is it will apply a heading 2 to the copy below it. Make sure that you do have some paragraph breaks before you add in heading styles. I’ll add a heading 2 to this section and I’ll add a heading 2 here, and I’ll add a heading 3 here and I think that should be ok. Then I’ll also add by phone here. Now I’m going to add some bullet points to this chunk. Now this here is a quote from Rodney Carter. You can add quote styling to this. You can actually apply a simple style, which is this one here, or you can add a more advanced style which is under the content templates section and blockquote with 2 lines of caption. There’s a couple of options for that. We’ve got some more bullet points here and a couple of links that we need to add. For example, the email and phone number will need to be linked. If we highlight that and control C to copy that, click on the linking tool and pop in the prefix mailto: and paste in your email address to the CMS knows that it’s an email. Then we’ve got a phone number that we’ll also need to link. Control C to copy that, click on the linking tool, put in the prefix tel: paste in the phone number and save that. 

I also know that there’s a page on the Aboriginal Heritage Council site about the council members, currently on the board. I’m going to select the hyperlinking tool and do an internal hyperlink. If I type in council members, that page should appear for me. There it is! I’ll be able to select that page. It’ll give me a node and a number, however that is totally fine. That just means that the internal link is a link to a node and not a page url, if the page title changes in future, it won’t break the link.  

This one here is an external link. Again, same thing, highlight that, grab the external link that you need to take people to and then paste that in. Select save. Just make sure you include the https:// and www. 

I’m now going to save this as my first draft and I’ll come back and show you how to do a document and an image upload.
