Headline 1 is the largest one

This is your headline reference area. Always use an actual headline when possible (as opposed to simply making your text bold, large or another color). This will keep your website looking clean and professional… and the site will gain “extra credit” with the search engines for any words in the headlines. Use a headline from 1 (largest) to 6 (smallest) by selecting the text you want to change with your cursor, and then changing the drop down menu above from “paragraph” to one of the headlines.

Heading 2 – just a bit smaller

This is your headline reference area. Always use a headline when possible to gain “extra credit” with the search engines.

Heading 3 is even smaller & generally another color

Heading 4 is the funky, accent one. Use it sparingly!

Heading 5 is extremely clean, easy to read, all caps and comes with the underline.

That makes it great for being a subheader that breaks text into sections.

Heading 6 is the last and final headline option. It is small, discreet, easy to read. Great for side notes or captions.

Short Codes

The funny looking text items that you see with the [hard brackets] around it – that is a shortcode. Your site uses them as a way of allowing you to do some fancy schmancy stuff, like drop caps or fancy bullet lists or icons, without needing to know HTML code. You don’t even need to know the [short code] – because there us a short code generator included.

Oh what a great drop cap! Drop caps are just one of many great “enhancements” you can add to your layout easily with the shortcode generator, found right below this content area box. Place your cursor anywhere in this content area and then scroll down to the shortcode generator and give it a whirl. You can’t hurt anything with it so play around a little and you are sure to learn a lot.

Tabs and Toggles

These are a little more complex but you can do them if you follow the steps of the shortcode generator below.

Tabs

Tab content can be images, galleries, text, or even blog lists! You can have lists, tables, links. Anything you could have elsewhere on the site you can have in your tabs. Everything stays hidden until you click on the tab to show it.

This is a great way to organize content. It also makes things less overwhelming for your site visitors because they will only see the most relevant information at any one time.
