How To Create a Category
Go to "Content" in the top menu, and select "Category Manager", then click on the "New" icon.
You cannot put additional categories under categories. Categories must be assigned to a section. Articles are added to categories, that are assigned to sections.
"Title" and "Alias" should be the same, except that "Alias" should be all small letters, with dashes instead of spaces. And no more than three words.
"Published" - click the "yes" radio button. Or, if you want to work on your page some more before you publish it, then you can click "no" and it won't show up in the front end of your site. When you finish your edits you can click the "yes" button, then your section page will be visible on the front end.
"Order" - allows you to change the order of your sections, if you have more than one section. You don't need to worry about this button for your menu items. You can change that order through the "Main Menu Manager".
"Access Level" - You are able to choose if you want everyone to see the section, registered visitors only to see the section, or special visitors.
"Image" - You can put in an image for your section if you wish.
"Image Position" - Adjusts the position of your image left, center, or right.
The icons and symbols at the top of the page are pretty much standards for editing your content. The white icon, second from the left on the bottom row, next to the "Insert Horizontal Ruler" is a tool that allows you to remove code. You can highlight a section of your manuscript and click on that icon, and all formatting will be removed. You can then start over using, bold, italic, different header fonts, or anything else you want.
"Description" - Where you enter any content that you may want in your section head. You can leave this blank, if you wish.
