WELCOME TO MY HOME PAGE
The HOME page introduces your site to your audience. This is the first impression you will give, so you better make it a good one! You will want to briefly describe the purpose of your site here, whether it's to sell something, or find employment, or get into college. You want to be clear on what you want to gain from all this work you've done. Just remember to keep it PROFESSIONAL! This represents YOU, so make it work for YOU! Remember to put a TAG LINE! My tag line is in the big red button above. I'm telling my viewers to see my work, so when they click on the button, the site will take them to my PORTFOLIO!
User Interfaces
When you first login into Weebly.com, you will see your website's TITLE and URL or WEBSITE ADDRESS. You can actually create multiple websites which will appear as you add each one. Simply click on your website to enter into the EDITOR. The EDITOR is where you build and design your site, as well as manage and add your pages. When you make additions or changes to your webpages, just click outside the box your are editing in, and it will automatically save! SWEET!
To show your website to the world, all you do is click on the yellow PUBLISH button. A WEBSITE PUBLISHED! window will pop up, just click the X in the upper right corner of the box to close the window, and type in your website's address so you can view it like everyone else does! You can make changes without your audience seeing. When you are ready to make your changes PUBLIC, just click on the PUBLISH button again, and your website will update!
When you are finished working on your website, click on the three white horizontal lines to the right of the PUBLISH button. Choose EXIT EDITOR, and then you can LOGOUT of your website. Just a reminder, always remember to do this so no one can go in and tamper with your work!

Introduction to Pictures & Graphics
You can change any graphic in Weebly. All you need to do is find pictures you want to use for your site, and save them onto your Y:drive. Once pictures are saved, you can then click on the graphic you want to change in Weebly, and then upload your picture in its place! It's that simple! Remember, pictures (or graphics) help set the tone of your website. Try to be consistent about what you choose to use throughout the site. In my example, I used red on every page! The similar color helps the website flow. Can you find something else that might tie my pages together? Try to find one thing to make every page relate to each other somehow.
Introduction to Drag and Drop
Weebly uses the Drag and Drop method, which is simple to do, and fun to use. Simply drag one of the boxes located on the left of your EDITOR window over into your work window and drop, and then you can start adding information into your website!
