10. Helpful Tips Every time you make a change PUBLISH! (this saves your changes) When changing font style, size, or color; any change makes changes to ALL of the same type elements Example: all “Title” elements will change at same time When linking files to text, each line must be in a separate element May copy and insert any clipart/picture file in place of existing art on design templates. Must save to a file first, then insert in design on weebly. Cannot copy and paste from web. To maximize free space save as a pdf files before uploading Must “zip” multiple files before uploading as a single upload.

11. Helpful Tips To shorten page lengths, use columns so you can see things side by side. May have 2-5 columns per page. May use non-column elements before after or in between. Add an “assignment form” element or page for students to turn in written work online – it will show up in your email. Add a “contact form” element or page for students, parents, or others to ask a question or leave a comment. Add a “blog” element or page to encourage student discussion outside of class (can be completely anonymous if you wish) Video elements require a PRO account (not free) May have multiple pages on same account – no need for more than one login/password. This is done on the home edit screen. May assign students to design webpages (under your account to monitor) Ex. Create a webpage with information and recipes of Mediterranean Cuisine
