Creating a News Article

Spell Check

For more advanced web designers, you may wish to format your article using tables. Tables can help you create different rows and columns to properly space articles, pictures, etc.

Font Formatting

Insert Hyperlink Insert Picture

You can switch your view from the WYSIWYG editor to html code if you have coding experience

Similar to MS Word, you can alter your article just as you would a .doc file, rather than static

text

Page 20: Av lite webmaster training

Creating a News Article

Select the date in which you want the article to post (default is current date)

Think ahead! If you are feeling especially creative, write an article about snow removal in June, but set it to post

in November. Keep your article relevant and timely

Set the date you want it to be removed.
