Advanced Page Editing
In
addition
to
changing
color
of
text
and
text
background,
you
have
several
other
options
you
can
explore
to
customize
the
look
of
content
on
your
page.
This
section
of
the
tutorial
will
cover
3
of
them:
1)
creating
a
new
page
layout,
2)
creating
and
using
a
table,
and
3)
inserting
items
on
the
page
(images,
horizontal
lines,
etc.).
Changing the Page Layout
A
basic
page
begins
with
a
single-‐column
layout.
Google
Sites
allows
a
number
of
different
page
layouts
ranging
from
1-‐column
to
3-‐columns
and
including
a
variety
of
header,
footer,
and
side-‐bar
combinations.
To
begin,
click
Edit page if
you
are
not
already
in
edit
mode
on
the
page
you
wish
to
change.
To
change
the
page
layout,
click
the
Layout
pull-‐down
menu
and
make
your
selection.
The
image
below
shows
our
previous
Home
page
in
two-‐column
layout.
Various
areas
of
the
page
are
highlighted
using
dotted-‐line
borders;
these
borders
are
not
visible
when
the
page
is
viewed
online.
Creating and Using a Simple Table
Tables
give
you
some
measure
of
control
over
the
placement
of
text
on
the
page
or
in
a
portion
of
a
multi-‐part
page
layout.
In
the
image
to
the
right,
you
see
a
2
row/3
column
table.
First,
ensure
you
are
in
edit
mode
for
the
page
to
which
you
wish
to
add
a
table.
To
create
a
table,
click
the
Table
menu,
point
to
Insert Table,
then
select
the
height
and
width
of
the
table.
Note, too, how you can insert rows and columns and delete
rows and columns from the menu.
In
this
image,
the
middle
cell
in
the
lower
row
is
selected;
this
occurs
when
you
click
in
the
cell.
You
can
change
the
width
of
a
column
or
height
of
a
row
by
grabbing
and
dragging
the
white
handle-‐bars
of
the
selected
cell.
Note that changing the width and height of one cell is not possible. Changes occur to the entire
column or the entire row (or both).
One
other
note:
You
cannot
set
the
table
borders
to
transparent;
all
tables
will
show
lines
around
each
cell.
Inserting Items on a Page
We’ll
learn
how
to
insert
two
basic
items
on
your
web
page:
1)
a
horizontal
rule
(a
line
running
horizontally
across
the
entire
page
or
the
column
(if
you’re
using
a
multi-‐column
layout))
and
2)
an
image
such
as
a
digital
photograph.
Horizontal rule
Horizontal
rules
can
be
used
to
break
up
a
page
into
smaller
chunks
of
information.
Position
the
cursor
on
the
line
where
you
want
your
horizontal
rule.
Click
the
Insert
menu
and
choose
Horizontal Rule.
The
line
will
be
placed
immediately
above
your
cursor.
To
delete
a
horizontal
rule,
click
below
the
rule
and
use
your
backspace
key.
The
image
below
shows
a
two-‐column
layout,
each
with
horizontal
rules.
Inserting Images
Putting
images
on
a
page
in
Google
Sites
is
a
two-‐step
process:
1)
upload
the
image
to
Google
Sites
and
2)
insert
the
image.
Uploading Images
Any image you want to upload should be in it final form.
You
will
not
be
able
to
crop
or
rotate
your
images
once
uploaded
to
Google
Sites.
In
addition,
images
can
take
up
a
sizeable
amount
of
storage
space,
so
you’ll
want
to
make
sure
you’ve
resized
the
image
to
a
smaller
file
size.
This
tutorial
does
not
cover
these
aspects
of
digital
imagery.
Please also note that once you upload an image to your Google Sites storage, you cannot
delete it from storage. Even if you don’t use it in your pages, it still resides in your storage.
Begin
by
editing
the
page
where
you
want
the
image
to
appear
and
placing
your
cursor
at
the
point
where
you
want
the
image
on
the
page.
Then
click
the
Insert
menu,
and
click
Image.
In
the
dialogue
box,
click
Uploaded images
and
navigate
to
the
image
you
wish
to
upload.
Select
the
photo
and
click
Open.
NOTE! There is no confirmation! As soon as you click Open, the photo will be uploaded and
placed on the page at the point where your cursor is located.
Alternatively,
you
could
select
Web address (URL)
and
enter
the
URL
of
a
photo
you
have
stored
online
somewhere
else.
This
works
well
with
photos
stored
in
places
like
Flickr.
Just
copy
the
URL
of
your
photo
and
copy
it
in
the
URL
box
that
appears
when
you
select
Web
address (URL).
Once
uploaded,
you
may
insert
the
same
image
again
on
this
page;
it
is
NOT
available
for
use
on
other
pages.
If
you
need
the
same
photo
on
a
different
page,
you’ll
need
to
upload
it
again
when
editing
that
page.
You’ll
be
able
to
control
alignment,
size,
and
wrapping
of
the
image
on
the
page
using
the
picture
controls
at
the
bottom
of
the
image.
To
access
the
controls,
simply
click
on
an
inserted
image.
Click
off
the
image
to
hide
the
controls.
Experiment
with
the
Align,
Size,
and
Wrap possibilities.
To
remove
a
photo
from
the
page,
select
the
photo
when
the
page
is
in
edit
mode
and
click
Remove in
the
picture
control
bar.
Adding Links to External Web Sites
One
of
the
greatest
aspects
of
web
development
is
your
ability
to
link
to
content
on
millions
and
millions
of
other
web
sites.
This
section
will
show
you
how
to
create
these
hyperlinks.
The
page
you
wish
to
include
the
link
on
must
be
open
for
editing.
Begin
by
typing the text you wish to make a hyperlink
and
highlighting
that
text.
Click
the
Link
tool.
In
the
dialogue
box,
click
Web address
on
the
left
side.
Enter
the
URL
in
the
text
box.
Check
the
Open this link in a new window
if
you
want
this.
Click
OK.
Email Message Links
To
create
a
link
that
opens
a
new
email
message,
follow
the
directions
above,
and
use
the
following
URL:
mailto:<email_address>
For
example,
to
create
my
email
link,
I’d
use
mailto:baspitze@iusb.edu
Alternatively,
you
can
simply
type
your
email
address
and
press
enter.
Google
Sites
will
automatically
create
and
email
hyperlink.
You
can
also
create
a
hyperlink
on
one
page
of
your
site
to
another
page
in
your
site.
Follow
the
same
procedure
to
create
a
hyperlink
as
you
did
above,
but
this
time
click
Existing page in
the
left
side
navigation
of
the
create
link
dialogue
box.
Select
the
page
you
want
to
link
to,
decide
whether
or
not
to
open
in
a
new
window
(probably
not
a
good
idea),
and
click
OK.
You
can
also
use
this
screen
to
create
a
new
page
in
your
site
.

Attaching Documents and Other Files
One
important
aspect
of
your
site
is
the
ability
to
share
documents,
PDFs,
and
other
files
electronically.
You
upload
the
document/PDF/file
to
your
site
as
an
attachment,
and
others
can
access
the
document
from
your
site.
You
have
no
control
over
where
the
link
to
the
file
is
on
the
page:
all
attachments
reside
at
the
bottom
of
the
page.
Attached
files
do
count
toward
your
100
Mb
quota,
but
you
can
easily
remove
attachments
from
your
site
once
they’ve
outlived
their
usefulness.
Here’s
the
process:
Open
the
page
on
which
you
want
to
place
the
attachment.
Note: you cannot add attachments to your home page . . .
Locate
the
Attachments
area
at
the
bottom
of
the
page
and
click
either
Attachments
or
the
plus
sign
(+)
next
to
the
word.
When
you
do,
you’ll
be
given
a
simple
Browse
dialogue
box:
click
the
Browse
button.
Locate
your
file,
select
it,
and
click
Open.
As
soon
as
you
click
Open,
Google
Sites
will
automatically
upload
a
copy
of
your
file
to
your
site
and
create
a
link
from
the
actual
filename.
Files
are
sorted
chronologically
by
time
of
upload.
To remove an attached file:
Too
simple,
really
.
.
.
just
click
Remove
next
to
the
attached
file
you
no
longer
need
on
your
site.
Additional Help
To
access
Google
Sites
help
menu,
click
Help
in
the
upper
right
corner
at
any
time.
The
following
help
page
will
launch
in
a
new
browser
window
or
tab:
Almost
any
additional
questions
can
be
answered
by
referring
to
the
help
page.
