1. Create a New Page

You will need the following information before you create a new page:

• Have you reviewed the Writing for the Web section?
• Do you have signed releases for any photos, videos, quotes or content that must be attributed to another party?
• Do you have appropriate and sufficient content for your new page?
• Have you considered this page as a part of the larger website?
• Is it necessary?
  • Does it make sense where it is located?
  • Who is your audience?

My Workbench > Create Content > Choose type of page >

Once the new blank page appears you will need to complete the 2 fields at the top of the screen:

Section > choose the correct section.

Title > These are the words you will see on the page (You can be descriptive here if you wish).

Next is the Edit Window. For your new page - go ahead and copy and paste your content directly into this window. Scroll all the way to the bottom and complete the last three mandatory fields:

Menu Link Title (these are the words you will "click" on in the left side menu).

Description (optional).

Parent Item You will choose the section to which you have access and possibly a sub-page that this new page will live "under".

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save.

At this time, if you are in a time crunch with a looming deadline, and have to get a page up, once you click Save, you have created the page as an official part of the MCC website.

Now you can go back and add in the semantic hierarchy, apply styles, headings, and any other formatting to make the text more easily read and understood.

At this point we are now essentially:

1.5 Editing an Existing Page

Go back into the Edit mode and let's continue. If you are not continuing with your previous page click on My Workbench and choose your page from those available to you.

Since the page is pre-existing, you should have a clear idea of what edits or changes you need to make, any new content should be written and spell-checked, and any images or attachments ready to go. Please review the section on Writing for the Web and Semantic Hierarchy if you need further guidance..

Remember to Save Save Save! Everytime you click Save you are saving a version of the page which gives you a revision to go back to in case you “mess up”. So save often. Personally, I save after I complete each edit or sets of edits. Better to be safe!

Be sure to make this page ADA accessible.

First of all, review your content for good organization. From what we covered earlier under Basic Page Layout - you should have already organized your content for easy reading and comprehension. Remember these important points:
