Editing On-Page Content
Using Virteom, you can edit any of the body content of your pages. Generally speaking, this is the main content area on the page. In some cases there are multiple areas that can be edited, but that depends on your site's design and layout. There are two ways to make a page editable. Which you use depends on preference and if you are already viewing the page you want to edit. To make the current page editable To make the current page editable, you must be logged into Virteom. Then, while viewing the page you want to edit, click the Editor link in the Menu Bar. Each editable text area on the page will have a dotted line around it. You can click inside that editable area to work with it. To select a page to edit If you are not viewing the page you want to edit, you may click the Navigation link in the Menu Bar, find the page you want to edit within the Navigation window, and click its Edit (arrow) icon. The page will appear with a dotted line around the editable area(s), and a Content toolbar will be visible. Editing the content The part of your website inside that dotted line is much like any document in a word processor. You can add, delete, and change text just by typing. You can also format that text using the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor. That means you do not need to know HTML or other programming languages. As you use the Content toolbar, the code for your selected formatting will be applied
Working with Links
Links are clickable spots (the "link") on a webpage that take the visitor elsewhere (the "target"). A link may take the visitor to another page on your site (an "internal link"), to a page on a different website (an "external" or "outbound link"), or to a different spot on the same page (an "anchor link"). They may also open an email message addressed to a particular email address in the visitor's default email program. (Note that we generally do not recommend this type of email link as it can be a target for spam and, depending on the email program used by the visitor, they do not always work as expected.) The clickable spot can be text or an image. If it's text, it is usually formatted in such a way to indicate to the user that it's clickable. Historically, this has been through an underline, but, depending on the design of your website, it may be through a different color or a hover affect (the text style changes when you point to it with the mouse). Regardless of the type of link or target, the process of creating a link is done basically the same way. To create a link: Select the item you want to become the link (text or a picture). Click the "Link" button (two links of a chain) on the text editor toolbar. Complete the necessary options in the "Link" dialog box. Click "OK." Save the change by clicking the "Save Content" button.
