Published On: 10/16/2008

Below are the four basic sections of the Administrive Interface.

Main Navigation


Main Navigation

The main navigation contains buttons that allow you to manage each piece of your website.

For example, the "Navigation/Pages" button takes you to the section for adding, updating, and configuring the navigation for your site. The "Site Configuration" button takes you to the section for updating the basic information for your site.

Above the Main Navigation, there are two links.

  1. Show/Hide shows or hides the Main Navigation
  2. Re-Order - allows you to change the order of the Main Navigation buttons to suite your needs

Sub-Navigation Tabs

When you are viewing a section of the Administrative Interface, you ma see tabs along the top of that section. Those buttons link to sepcific functions within that section. For example, if you are in the "Link Manager" section, you'll see a tab for adding a link, updating a link, adding a link category, and updating a link category. The Sub-Navigation tabs will change depending on the section you are viewing.

Utility Links

The Utility Links are located in the upper right section of the screen. These allow you to perform some basic functions.

  1. View Site - opens your website in a new browser window or tab
  2. Control Panel - takes you to your cPanel interface (hosting functions)
  3. Help - takes you to the online manual for the section you are currently working with
  4. Logout - logs you out of the Administrative Interface
  5. Print - sends a printer friendly verions of the page you are viewing to your printer

The Work Space

The main area of the Administrative Interface is used as the work space. This is the area that contains the actual data that you are working with. For example, the Navigation/Pages section will contain the list of all the pages of your website, or the form for updating a particular page.
