Building Your Site

Adding a Page or Post:

When making a page, it will need a title and a body. The title (Orange) will be visible in menu’s, search and on Google.

The body (Blue) is made out of blocks. We will mostly use Paragraph and Image blocks. To add a block, press the Plus button (Green). If you are adding a new paragraph, just press Enter / Return. Plus buttons appear near blocks, but you have to move your mouse to find them.

You can adjust the look of blocks using the side bar (Yellow) or the floating toolbar(Red).

Press the blue Publish button (top right) when you are ready to show the page to the world.
