Your New Website 101

This blog is dedicated to helping my clients add to, edit, and manage the content on their sites. These days, I almost exclusively use a content management system, or CMS, called Textpattern to build client websites. Thus, much of this site is about how to use Textpattern to manage all the kinds of content on your site—from “About Me” text, to blog posts, to images and links.

I hope you find this information helpful as you learn to use your new site, and I’d love to hear from you what you need more help with, or what you’d like to learn more about.

Here are a few good how-to articles to start with:

• Logging in
• Writing an article
• Using Textile to add formatting

And some general information articles:

• Basic internet terms
• Useful Textpattern terms
• Tips for good blogging
