Technology and the Web are constantly evolving and changing. It seems like every day there’s something new to learn. We know it can be tough to keep up with, and while we try to make our products easy to use, we know some of you might need a helping hand to step into Geekdom.

Sephone Resource Center - for people who feel like this when editing their website. (Photo from http://lolcatz.wordpress.com)

And so the Sephone Resource Center was born! We often have similar questions about the “how-to’s” for the person that is just learning, or if there is a new person doing the job.

The Resource Center is a collection of tutorials for how to do common (and some uncommon) tasks in services like our content management system, datAvenger and datAvenger pro. This list of tutorials will continue to grow with new text and video tutorials and will continue to cover even more Sephone services.

Here are some examples of tutorials that are currently available:

• Adding links
• Adding images
• Uploading images and documents
• Managing User Accounts
• Reordering navigation

Welcome to the first of many datAvenger tips & tricks from the gals in the front office! This week we’ll be going over how to re-order and re-organize navigation points (for datAvenger users only).

Start by clicking on the Architecture tab at the top of your screen. Your pages are organized in a hierarchy. Pages at the top level of the hierarchy are called “Parent pages”, and those one level lower are called “Children pages” or “Child pages”.

Click on a page title to select it, then on the pencil to edit.

To move a page above or below another page at the same level in the hierarchy, use the dropdown next to “Order”. To change the current page’s parent page (the page one level higher in the hierarchy), you’ll first need to click on the plus sign next to “Advanced Information”.

A new section will appear with a dropdown menu called “Parent Page”. Any page can be a parent page. This dropdown contains a list of every page on your website. The page that you select will become the current page’s parent, meaning that the current page will be one level beneath it.

Once you have selected the new parent page, you might need to revisit the “Order” dropdown at the top of the screen if there are multiple “children” pages. When you are done, don’t forget to click on “Save Changes”!
