]]> <![CDATA[How to I create and use anchor tags?]]>
To create anchors simply click the location where you would like to place an anchor and click the "Insert/Edit Anchor" (looks like a boat anchor) in your menu bar at the top of the EZEdit window. This will allow you to name the anchor your placing. For example, in a list of cities you could create anchors titled Detroit, Grand Rapids and Lansing.

Now that you've created your anchors on the page you can create links to your anchors. To do this you will create a link by highlighting the text you want to be the link and clicking the "Insert/Edit Link" icon. Once clicked you'll see one of the options is "Link to an anchor in the text". Selecting this option will then display a list of all of the anchors you have created within that page. So, in order to create a link to the "Grand Rapids" anchor would follow these steps:
  • Highlight the text you want to link to Grand Rapids
  • Click "Insert/Edit Link"
  • Select "Link to an anchor in the text"
  • Select the "Grand Rapids" anchor
  • Click OK

    You can also create "top" and "bottom" anchors in this same way.

    Place your cursor at the top of the page and create an anchor for "top" and do the same for "bottom". You can then link to these two anchors anywhere within the page.]]> <![CDATA[Is the new EZEdit compatible with Safari or Google Chrome?]]> The current version of EZEdit is not compatible with Safari, however we will be updating EZEdit in the near future to better accommodate our Macintosh users.

    ]]>         <![CDATA[Maximize Your Footer]]> Does your website have any information in the Page Footer? The Page Footer is displayed at the bottom of every page and article on your website. Designing a complementing Page Footer can really complete the overall look of your site, as well as provide information such as contact numbers and email addresses. In this tutorial we will look over a few examples, and provide instructions on how to make the most out of your Page Footer.

    First, some examples. Here are some popular websites. Scroll to the very bottom of each of these examples, and pay close attention to how they defined a bottom to their site, and note the information found in the footer areas.

    In each site above, they have chosen a footer design that best fits thier site. In call cases, they have included some information, and links where applicable. Now let's move on to setting up a Page Footer on your site.

    Once logged in, navigate to Step 3, and then edit your Page Footer. Click on Content to start editing. The simplest way to create an easy footer is to use a table. So, click Insert/Edit Table, and enter the following values, and then click OK:

    • Rows: 2
    • Columns: 1
    • Border size: 0
    • Width: 100 percent
    • Cell spacing: 0
    • Cell padding: 0

    What we have created is a full site width footer with two rows. Since these are table cells, we can type in them freely. I went ahead and typed my email address, and my phone number in the first row. In the second, I typed Copyright 2009. Highlight both sets of text, and apply some Center justification to line them up nice.

    While this would suffice as a footer, we want to go one step further and define the footer area by adding accenting colors. To do this, simply right-click in the top cell, and select Cell --> Cell Properties. On the Cell Properties prompt, you will notice a border color attribute in the lower right hand corner. Click Select, and then click on the color you would like to apply to the background of that cell row. Use your imagination here. What generally works is choosing colors that complement the dominent colors in your website background and window background. Choosing lighter or darker shades of the colors in your window background will often do the trick. With some trial and error, I'm confident you can come up with some nice colors to complete your footer, and website.

    Note: Anytime you are using tables, you will to double check the font sizes as well as colors. Tables are not bound by the site settings, so you may need to apply font style and size to text in the table. Generally, applying a 12px font size works well.

It allows you to create custom boxes of information (images, text or a combination of both) and then place them either on the left or right of your website. You can also move them up and down your website as well.

    An example of how this could be used can be found at Rejoice Blue Demo. You'll see on the top right there is a box that has mass times in it.

    ]]>         <![CDATA[What is the difference between a paragraph and a line break?]]> A line break is the HTML code to insert 1 line or move to the next line. A paragraph inserts two lines or a new section to your page/article.
     

    Nearly all HTML editors require that you hit SHIFT + ENTER to insert a line break to move to the next line. This did not seem to be intuitive for our users so we have customized our HTML editor (EZEdit) so hitting the ENTER key will insert a single line. To insert a new paragraph (2 lines) you must hit the SHIFT + ENTER keys.
