CRAFTCAVE FREE WEB PAGES TUTORIAL

File Manager

This tutorial will quickly show you how to work with the pages of your site.

Please complete the Adding A Page Tutorial first, as this tutorial builds on that one.

1. Log onto your account to access the site manager.
2. Click the File Manager Icon.
3.

Your page should look like this.

Important Note: The URL that appears at the top of this area is the address of your web site. This can be sent to customers, friends, and family however it is generally considered poor form to give folks links to unfinished web sites.

4.

Click on index.html Notice that this opens that page in a new window. This is useful if you want to see what a page currently looks like or have forgotten what is on the page.

5. There are a variety of actions available on this page. Each is represented by an icon. Holding your cursor over an icon shows what each does. The first two are editor icons that will be discussed in detail in the editor tutorials, so skip these for now. We are also familiar with the rename icon so skip that too.
6. Delete does just that - delete the file. Use this now to delete about.html
7.

Copy is a very powerful time saving tool for web site designers. This can be used to make copies of pages to speed site development. This way you won't have to modify the links on a lot of template pages - just on the first one which is then copied and renamed.

Click the Copy Icon for index.html. This would normally be done after making the desired changes to the template.

Click the paste icon.

This brings up the rename dialog. rename this file about and click ok.

8. The cut icon will remove the file from the current directory and allow you to paste it elsewhere. This is a more advanced tool that beginners will not have much use for, so ignore this for now.
9. At this point you know how to create files and work with them in the file manager. The next tutorial will show you how to edit them.
