UPLOADING FILES
To upload your files to your website:
-
Go to your Update Index page.
-
Click the Page Settings tab, then click File Management.
-
On the resulting page, click the Browse button (near the bottom) to select a file on your computer.
- Once your file has been selected, click the Upload File button to submit the upload.
Your files will now be available for use in a variety of ways. See below for information on ways to use your uploaded files.
USE YOUR PHOTOS/GRAPHICS:
Add to a Photos/Docs Page: Each web can have up to seven Photos/Docs pages. This page type allows you to post links to your uploaded files and graphics. Your students can click on those links to view your graphics.
You can list up to 50 photos/graphics (or other) files per Photos/Docs page. For an example, click here.
To add a Photos/Docs page, go to your Update Index and stay in the default "Update Index" page, which displays a list of all your site's pages. On this page, click the Add New Page button and select "Photos / Documents".
Add to a Gallery Page: Each web can have up to seven Gallery pages. The Gallery page differs from a Photos/Docs page in that the photos are displayed directly on the page (instead of displaying links that lead to the images). For an example, click here.
To add a Gallery page, go to your Update Index and stay in the default "Update Index" page, which displays a list of all your site's pages. On this page, click the Add New Page button and select "Gallery".
Add to an Enhanced Text Page: Each web can have up to 15 Enhanced Text pages. This page type includes a formatting toolbar with a variety of options. In addition to formatting text, you can insert graphics anywhere you like within the page.
To insert graphics into an Enhanced Text page, just go to the page's "Images" drop-down list, select from a list of your uploaded image files.
This page type allows you to post as many graphics as you like, and to combine formatted text and graphics however you like.
To add an Enhanced Text page, stay in the default "Update Index" page, which displays a list of all your site's pages. On this page, click the Add New Page button and select "Enhanced Text".
Add to an All Purpose Page: Each web can have up to 48 All Purpose pages. This page type includes a formatting toolbar with a variety of options. In addition to formatting text, you can insert graphics anywhere you like within the page. (For specific instructions on using graphics in this page type, see the All Purpose Instructions page and skip to the Graphics section. Please note that this page type does not include a drop-down list of images - you will have to directly enter the file name of your uploaded graphics.)
To add an All Purpose page, go to your Update Index and stay in the default "Update Index" page, which displays a list of all your site's pages. On this page, click the Add New Page button and select "All Purpose".
Change Home Page Icons: You can use your uploaded graphics as page icons on your Home Page in Classic webs. (Note that Classic Frame and Template Design webs do not use a Home page with icons.)
To do this, go to your Update Index and stay in the default "Update Index" page, which displays a list of all your site's pages. Click the "Edit Page Settings" button for the page you'd like to update. In the pop-up window, click the "Select" button next to "Home Page icon". In the "Select an Image from:" menu, select "My Library". You will be able to select any of your uploaded graphics for use as the page's Home page icon.
Please note that when you use your own graphics as a Home page icon, you should be sure they are the right size for how you would like them to display.
Change Background, Divider Lines, Email Link Icon, School Link Icon: You can use your uploaded graphics as page icons on your Home Page (for a non-Frame Style web) or as your pages' background or divider lines. To do this, go to your Update Index and click the "Site Settings" tab. In the left sidebar, you will see options to update Background, Divider Lines, Email Link Icon, or School Link Icon.
When you go to any of these sections, you will see a drop-down "My Files" menu. You can select any of your uploaded graphics files in this list. You will be able to preview the graphic before submitting.
Please note that when you use your own graphics in this way, you should be sure they are the right size for how you would like them to display.
Add Photos/Graphics To the Top or Bottom of a Homework or Homework With Text Formatting page: To do this, go to your Update Index page and click the "Change Graphics - Select From Uploads" button. Near the bottom of the list, you will see drop-down boxes marked "Top Image" and "Bottom Image" for some of your pages. Select files from these lists to post an image to the top or bottom of these pages.
Use an Uploaded Graphic Anywhere on Any Plain-text Page: By adding a single, simple HTML tag to any of the text input boxes for any update page, you can add an uploaded image to the contents area of any plain-text section of your site. Click here for more information on using HTML code to create effects.
