Site Organization

Also note, that if you already have a site using your tilde account and want to create a new site within your tilde account, you will want to do the following:

1. Create your new "index" page for your site and when you are ready, click "Publish", a new window will pop-up and asks you for a file name for your page (note: if this is the homepage for your site you will name it "index", all other pages of your site can use the same page title name). Enter the filename that you would like to use.
2. Please select the "Choose Folder" button.
3. Click on the add a new folder icon (it is the center icon of the three folder icons on the upper right of the window) and
4. Enter a folder name (this name will become part of the web address for your site, so please keep that in mind, see diagram below)
5. You will be at the new folder level of your site.
6. Click on the (Select “folder Name”) button on the bottom of the window
7. If this page is your homepage, remember to save your homepage as index.html (all lower case). Please note the "page title" is the title you gave the page when you first created the page in Contribute and you can now enter in the same title for the filename or give this page a new filename by using this window. See screenshot below.

 

(Notice in the above example the web address, indicates that a folder was created in the a tilde account for smccaule called ITSummer2006 and links to a webpage called Assignments, assuming I already had created the "index" page for this new site and saved it to this folder.)
