Adding Files, Documents, Links & Google Docs
There are several ways to attach a file to your webpage. Each has a different look and functions in a different way.
DOCUMENT- click and drag the document box. You'll be instructed to upload a file and it will be displayed with a Scribd box. Our school menu is an example of using this feature. Pros- it's quick, the file doesn't remain with the site even after deleted. Cons- it's a little clunky in appearance and difficult to print a page.
FILE- click and drag the FILE box. You will be instructed to upload a file. You can change the name that appears with the file by clicking inside the file area.
Pros- simple way to attach a file, easy to download for viewing and printing. Also, it disappears when deleted. Cons- doesn't have a clean look.

LINKS- by highlighting a word or an image, you can click the link button and add a document to the link. You will be asked to upload the document and the it will remain connected to the site. Pros- very clean look; easy to create links to the same document on multiple pages. Cons- document is always accessible through a search since there is no way to delete it from the site.
GOOGLE DOCS- If you use Google Docs its easy to link to a specific document. Type the name of the document on your webpage. Next, open up your Google Doc, click the web address bar and copy the link (when clicked, it will turn into a long series of numbers). Back on your webpage, highlight the text you want linked, click the link icon in the dark text formatting bar, and paste the copied address into the Website URL box. Hit save and it's there!
Pros- it's simple and has a clean look. Plus, as a Google Doc, you don't have to update it on your webpage-- it will automatically happen.
Cons- The Google Doc you link will be active, you and those who open it will be able to change it.

Track Statistics
By clicking the "Site Stats" on the drop down in the upper right corner, you are able to track the traffic on your site. See how many people visit your site each day, what pages they go to most often, search terms used in finding the site, and referring sites. The image on the right shows an example of the traffic for one month on the Lake Holcombe School site. |
Poll
Just when you think there's nothing fun in your website, we add a poll! Creating a poll is simple and easy... have I used that phrase too often? In this case it's true. You don't need to create an account in PollDaddy, you just start typing in the poll, choose a format, and add it to your site. You can decide to show the results immediately or not; in the sample on on the right you view the results as soon as you vote. |
