How to create a new web page

You can create a new web page either by creating a new page or by creating a new post. You can read the differences between a page and a post at here. Whichever you want to create first you have to open the list of pages (or post) by clicking the vertical navigation menu as shown in figure below.

You can create a new web page (whether a page or post) by the following two ways.

  1. From 'Create new' link;
  2. by editing an existing one and saving at a different name.

The following points are important when you are creating a new page or post.

  • Page name is case sensitive. So try to use only small characters to avoid confusions.
  • Only the following characters are acceptable when you are naming a page. They are,

    abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789/ -_

    in which first and last character must be alphanumeric.
  • Do not use any extension (.html or .php etc.) at the end of a page name. Extension (.html) will be automatically added when you publish that page.
  • After creating a new web page please see the preview before you publish it.
  • Use proper category when you are naming a page.

Below I give few examples of good page name.

Page name:mypage1
Category:Document root
URL (with or without www):http://mypage1.html
Page name:myflder/mypage
Category:myfolder
URL (with or without www):http://myfolder/mypage1.html
Page name:New_folder/mypage1
Category:New folder
URL (with or without www):http://New_folder/mypage1.html
Page name:myfolder/New_folder/mypage1
Category:myfolder
URL (with or without www):http://mypage1.html

From the above examples you can understand that to create a new category you have just to create a page or post under a directory whether that directory physically exist or not. The benefits of creating a category are,

  1. Menu lists your web pages in groups of category.
  2. If you do not create an index page this script will generate an index page containing list of web pages along with their descriptions.

Editing a page or post:

To make the editing easier for the webmasters this script includes two text editors to edit an existing page or post. First one is the web form where all the important fields about a page or post are enlisted. Here you can edit any information about a page or post. But this editor is smaller in size hence not suitable for editing content of a page. So a full screen editor is also included to edit the content and header field of a page or post. You can also access this editor from the top of your page content when you login as an administrator.

Tips: Please do not create an index page within a category to allow directory listing.
