Decide how many web pages you will create & then create a button for each web page
- if you plan your web site now - it will save time & aggravation in the future

Navigation Tab - allows you to add navigation features to your web site

- Top Navigation Strip - is a thin strip of links that you want to apprear at the top of your page
1.  Simply type the name of the link (i.e. LDISD Home Page in the Display Name column)
2.  Type the link in the Link Path column (i.e. http://www.ldisd.net)
*  IMPORTANT:  to link to pages outside of your home page folder, you MUST type the entire link usng the http:// at the           beginning of the link
* For links to pages inside your home page folder - simply type the name of the page

- Button Bar - this is a set picture buttons links that apprear at the top of your page
Here's a link to show you an example of a site with the Button Bar.  Use the same steps as above except that you must use the pull-down menu to select a picture file to be used as a button for your link.
- the first column - Button Name - this is really the name of the picture you will use for this button
- use the pull-down menu to select a picture
- the second column - Display Name - this is identifies your button - ex:  Lesson Plans
- the third column - Link Path  - this is the link to the page & should have the same name as the web page you will create
                - example:  if you want a page for lesson plans
                - simply type "lessons" in the Link Path column

REPEAT THIS TO CREATE A BUTTON FOR EACH WEB PAGE YOU PLAN TO CREATE - we will copy this page to create future pages, so you won't have to re-create these buttons again.

- Side Navigation - you only need this if you need to add A LOT of links to your web page


Features Column Tab - you can put a check in the top left-hand box to place a "Features" column in the upper right-hand portion of your web page.
- Title:  type the title of the item you want to add and type a description in the text box below the title
- Link Title:  type the title of a link you would like to add that is connected to this "feature" item
- Link Path:  type the link to the site you want to direct viewers to (you have to type the entire link "http://www.ldisd.net" for links to pages outside of your home page folder or simply type the name of the page if it links to a page you created in your home page folder).
- New Window check box:  put a check in this box if you want this link to appear in a new window
