Helpful Tips• Every time you make a change PUBLISH! (this saves your changes)•When changing font style, size, or color; any change makes changes to ALL of the same type elements• Example: all “Title” elements will change at same time•When linking files to text, each line must be in a separate element • May copy and insert any clipart/picture file in place of existing art on design templates.• Must save to a file first, then insert in design on weebly. Cannot copy and paste from web.
• To maximize free space save as a pdf files before uploading• Must “zip” multiple files before uploading as a single upload.
Helpful Tips• To shorten page lengths, use columns so you can see things side by
side. May have 2-5 columns per page. May use non-column elements before after or in between.• Add an “assignment form” element or page for students to turn in
written work online – it will show up in your email.• Add a “contact form” element or page for students, parents, or
others to ask a question or leave a comment.• Add a “blog” element or page to encourage student discussion
outside of class (can be completely anonymous if you wish)• Video elements require a PRO account (not free)• May have multiple pages on same account – no need for more than
one login/password. This is done on the home edit screen.• May assign students to design webpages (under your account to
monitor)• Ex. Create a webpage with information and recipes of Mediterranean
Cuisine
