Chapter 1
Welcome
Welcome to WebEasy! WebEasy is an easy-to-use website design program. You can create your own site quickly and easily without having to learn any behind-the-scenes coding. WebEasy manages all that for you. This chapter has the following information: WebEasy Features on page 2 Getting Familiar with WebEasy on page 2 Getting Help on page 5
Chapter 1: Welcome
WebEasy Features
WebEasys many features provide you with everything you need to create and manage your website easily. You can use the Website Assistant wizard to make a website from provided templates. The Media Gallery gives you quick access to provided clip art and your own media files (including audio and video files). With the Publish Assistant wizard you can upload your new website easily to the WebEasy hosting service or to a third-party hosting site. The WebEasy hosting service provides an integrated, affordable, and comprehensive hosting solution for your website. The e-Commerce feature gives you a secure way to sell products online. WebEasy creates code based on the W3C standards; therefore, the websites are compatible for modern web browsers (such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari).
Getting Familiar with WebEasy

You do not need technical or programming skills to create a complete website for yourself, your family, your organization, or your business. With WebEasy, you can create a professional-looking website in four steps:
1. Create a website document. 2. Adjust the design and content in the document.
WebEasy
Chapter 1: Welcome
3. Build the document into a website. 4. Publish the website on the Internet.
Note: Before you start a website document, determine what images and text you want to have on your website. Think about the organization that would be effective for your site.
1: Creating WebEasy Documents

WebEasy provides hundreds of pre-designed templates that you can customize to suit your needs. Most templates have several linked pages with text and image placeholders. The Website Assistant guides you through the process of selecting a template from the many categories and designs and then customizing the content. You can also select a template and make all changes in the workspace. For information, see Chapter 4 Creating Documents on page 27. With specialized templates, you can quickly make a page for an eBay auction, set up an online photo gallery, or create a blog. See Creating Specialized Websites on page 136 for details. If you have the skills, you can create a complete website from scratch. You can build your website one page at a time. The Website Assistant has blank designs, or you can create web pages based on a page size in the New Document dialog box. See Starting From a Blank Document on page 34 for details.
2: Modifying Documents
Once you have started a WebEasy website document, you can modify it as needed. If you used a template, you can change the provided text and graphics as needed.
WebEasy
Chapter 1: Welcome
You can add: More text, graphics, and shapes (See Chapter 6 Working with Items on page 53, Chapter 7 Working with Images and Shapes on page 73, Chapter 8 Working with Text and Tables on page 93 for information.) Links to other pages, other websites, or files to download (For information, see Adding and Changing Pages on page 39 and Adding Multimedia on page 144. Also, see Creating Links in WebEasy Help.) YouTube videos, audio, other Flash files, and animations for a multimedia-rich site (For details, see Chapter 9 Integrating with Other Websites on page 105 and Adding Multimedia on page 144.)
Using Advanced Features

In addition to multimedia, you can add specialized WebWidgets and other objects (such as a visitor counter). See Chapter 11 Adding Enhanced Features on page 135. WebEasy provides Search Engine Optimization (SEO) features to get your site recognized by search engines. See SEO Assistant wizard in WebEasy Help. To sell products online, you can sign up with an e-commerce provider to process payments. You then add e-commerce buttons to create an online shop. See Adding e-Commerce Features on page 139. If you have the skills, you can add customized code and scripts to enhance your site. See Adding Scripts on page 150.
WebEasy
Chapter 1: Welcome
3: Previewing and Building Websites

If you use a third-party hosting service, you need to build your website before you can publish it. When building your document, WebEasy converts the design into the code needed to view the pages online. You specify the type of coding and WebEasy does all the work for you! See Building the Website Package for Third-Party Hosting on page 124.
4: Publishing Online
The final step of the process is to store all the files online. With WebEasy Hosting building and publishing is one easy step. See Building and Publishing to WebEasy Hosting on page 122 or Publishing to a Third-Party Web Hosting Service on page 125
Note: You must have an active Internet connection and information from your web hosting service to publish your website online.

Chapter 4 Creating Documents

This chapter focuses on creating WebEasy documents, which is the first of the four steps involved in creating a website. You also learn how to save and back up your documents.
Note: WebEasy must build the website (by converting all pages and graphics into web-compatible formats) before you can publish it (transfer files to your ISP or web host provider).
This chapter has the following information: Understanding WebEasy Documents on page 28 Using the Website Assistant to Create Documents on page 29 Using Templates to Create Documents on page 32 Starting From a Blank Document on page 34 Saving Documents on page 34
Chapter 4: Creating Documents
Understanding WebEasy Documents

There are four steps involved in creating a website when using WebEasy:
1. Create a website document. 2. Adjust the design and content in the document. 3. Build the document into a website. 4. Publish the website on the Internet.
In step 1, the WebEasy document is the basis for your website. There are three ways to start a new document in WebEasy: Use the Website Assistant. This takes you step-by-step through the stages of customizing the text and images in a WebEasy template to create your document. Develope a document by using one of WebEasys professionally designed templates in the workspace. In the workspace, replace the images and text with your own and add more items if you wish. Open a blank document and create your own web pages by designing them from scratch. WebEasy offers a choice of blank project templates with preset page sizes (for example, a six-page on-screen website). Add your own images and text to the document.
You can also import an existing website to create a WebEasy document. For information about importing web pages, see WebEasy Help.
Note: How well a website imports depends on the websites design and coding. WebEasy cannot guarantee that it can import all websites correctly.
28
WebEasy
With WebEasy, creating a document is similar to using a word processor. If you use a template, each page has placeholder text and graphics that you can customize as needed.
Note: After creating and designing the document, you then have WebEasy build a website from it for you to upload to the Internet.
Using the Website Assistant to Create Documents

The Website Assistant provides templates to create a WebEasy document that you then publish as your website. The Website Assistant guides you through the process for adjusting the design and, depending on the template, suggests content changes. Using this wizard is the quickest and easiest way to develop a website.
Note: The Website Assistant also has specialized templates for creating web photo albums, pages for an eBay auction, blogs, and other specialized sites. (See Creating Specialized Websites on page 136 for more information.)
The templates have placeholder images and text. You may use your own images and text as you go through the Website Assistant wizard. If you dont replace the images and text in the wizard, you can replace them in the workspace.
Note: The following procedure gives general information about using the Website Assistant. The actual steps depend on the template.
To create a document with the Website Assistant: 1. Choose New > Website Wizard from the WebEasy menu. 2. In the Website Assistant wizard, click Next.
WebEasy
29
3. In the Select a template style for your Website list, select a
category. The templates with wizard in their titles are for creating a special type of web page such as a web photo album. See Adding Enhanced Features on page 135 for details.
4. In the list below the category, select a template. 5. In the Preview area, click the buttons on the right to view
different pages of the template.

6. Repeat steps 3-5 until you find a template that you like. 7. If available, click the Recommended Style Selection button.
In the Template Style dialog box, select a style category from the list, select a thumbnail for a specific style, and click OK. In general, recommended styles apply different colors to the design. Some styles change the layout.
8. Then click Next. 9. Type a name for your document in the Name box.
30
WebEasy
10. If you wish, specify a different folder for saving your
document by clicking the Browse button. In the Choose Folder dialog box, locate and select a folder, and click Open. WebEasy normally saves documents with an ALB extension in the Documents\WebEasy\Documents folder.
11. Click Next. 12. If the template requests that you to enter information, such as
personal or business details, type this information and then click Next. You dont have to enter the information now. You can change text when the document opens in the workspace.
Note: Depending on the template there may be several screens of text changes.
13. If the template has placeholder images, replace the
placeholders in the template with your own images, and then click Next. You can skip this step and add your images later. To specify a different set of images, click the Browse button above the Images list. In the Browse for Folder dialog box, locate and select the folder with the images. Click OK.

If you selected Run now, the animation shows in your default browser. WebEasy opens the file as a document in the
WebEasy 87
workspace. You can now copy and paste the GIF animation to insert the image into a document or insert it as you would any other image.
Creating GIF Animations from Scratch

You can also create an animated GIF from scratch as a WebEasy document that you build as an animated GIF file. By using this method, you have more flexibility in creating animations. See WebEasy Help for details.
Creating Rollover Images

Often rollover images are used as links to other pages, but you can use them without links for visual appeal on your pages. The image changes when the pointer is over the image. The Rollover Assistant provides a standard two-stage rollover image. Have the images you want to use available before opening the Rollover Assistant. You can add additional image layers and text layers. With WebEasy, you can also add popups (usually ToolTip-like text, but you can use images) that appear next to the rollover image in its active state. For detailed information, see WebEasy Help.
Applying Paths to Images

You can use the Path Animation feature to make images move on your web pages. For details, see Creating Animated Items on page 148.
88
WebEasy
Exporting Images
When you create a GIF image, you export the document as a series of image files. You can also export images of entire pages or export a selected item to save it as an image (or in another image format). For details, see WebEasy Help.
Drawing and Editing Shapes

WebEasy provides tools to draw and edit shapes and lines. You can create shapes from straight lines, curves, polygons, polylines, rectangles, and ovals. You can edit shapes by dragging handles or adjusting the colors, line thickness, and fills. You can add shadows to the shapes. WebEasy converts any shape into an image when it builds your website.

This chapter has the following information: About Text in WebEasy on page 94 Inserting Text on page 96 Editing and Formatting Text on page 98 Adding and Editing Tables on page 102
Chapter 8: Working with Text and Tables
About Text in WebEasy

Text in WebEasy is in a text frame. After typing text, you can move the text frame around the page and treat it like other items on the page.
About Text Frame Modes

A text frame has two modes: Object mode and Edit mode. In Object mode, the text frame appears with a transparent background and with handles. You move the frame around and can add fills, shadows, and other effects to the frame.
To select a text frame, click the text item once. In Edit mode, the text appears as plain black text on a white background. An insertion point indicates where you can type. In this mode, you edit the text by adding, changing, and deleting characters.
To enter Edit mode, double-click a text frame. To exit Edit mode, click outside the text frame. In general, keep each text frame larger than the text in the frame. Some browsers might display text in a larger font, and any text that doesnt fit into the text frame wont appear.
94
WebEasy
Types of Text
WebEasy has three types of text you can add: Plain Text, Rich Text, and Graphic Text. You can use your choice of fonts, styles, sizes, colors, and more with each of these. Plain Text uses the same style for all the text within the text frame. You can specify a different font, style, or color, but the change applies to all the text in that frame. This is the most efficient type of text for having on a page.
With Rich Text you can apply different styles to text in the same frame. You can create links within the frame and create bullets, numbered lists, indents, tables, and other forms of text. You can select text and use standard shortcuts for creating bold (CTRL+B), italic (CTRL+I), and underlined (CTRL+U) text.
Graphic Text is for non-standard fonts and unusual text effects such as applying gradients or textures or having shadowed text. WebEasy converts text within the text frame into a graphic on the web page. Its best to use graphic text with larger size fonts because the text might be difficult to read at small font sizes.
WebEasy
95
You can align text within the frame to the left, center, right, or justified to the left and right edges. You can convert Plain Text to Rich Text or Rich Text to Plain Text. To do so, select the text frame, and click Rich Text Formatting on the Home tab. When converting from Rich Text to Plain Text, in the confirmation message box, click Yes.
Inserting Text
You can insert your own text or pre-defined text into a page.
Inserting New Text

When you insert new text, WebEasy creates a new text frame.
To insert text into a document: 1. If necessary, click the Home tab. 2. In the Text section, click Plain Text, Rich Text, or Graphic
Text.
3. Move the pointer to the page and click where you want to
place the new text.

4. Double-click the new text item. 5. Select the placeholder text and type your text. 6. After you finish, click anywhere outside the text frame.
96
WebEasy
Adding Text with the Text Assistant

A quick and easy way to add text to your document is to use ready-made text items from the Text Assistant. The Text Assistant has text organized into categories for specific uses (such as Web Site or Wedding).
To add ready-made text: 1. On the Home tab, click the Text Assistant button. (CTRL+T) 2. In the Text Assistant palette, select a catalog from the
Catalog list.
3. Select a text item from that catalog. 4. Drag the text onto the page.
If you use text of your own frequently (such as contact information), you can add it to the Text Assistant. For details, about this and creating custom catalogs, see WebEasy Help.
Inserting Exif Information

You can insert text that has information about digital photos: Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format) information. You may want to use this in a photo gallery or as a caption for photos on your website.
To insert Exif information: 1. Click the Insert and Modify tab. 2. In the Insert section, click Picture > Photo Information. 3. In the Choose Image dialog box, locate and select the digital
photo. Then click Open.

4. Click the pointer on the page to insert the text item.
After inserting the text item, you can edit the text and move and resize the text frame.
WebEasy 97
For details about extracting Exif information or inserting it on a page, see WebEasy Help.
Editing and Formatting Text

Text appears in WebEasy in a text frame. When selected, the text frame has handles, like other items do.
Adjusting Text Frames

You can move the text frame around the page like other items on your page. If you drag the handles on a text frame, you change the size of the frame but not the size of the text. To change the size of the text, press ALT as you resize the frame.
Note: Keep your text frames larger than the area taken up by the text because some browsers may display text in a larger font. Any text that does not fit into the text frame may not appear.
Editing Text
There are two ways to edit text: Double-click the text frame. Use the insertion point to select text to change or delete. You can add more text at the insertion point. Select a text frame and then click the Edit Content button on the Home tab. In the Edit Text dialog box, you edit the text as with a word processor. This dialog box also provides some ready-made text that you can easily add.
Note: If the selected text is in a Rich Text frame, HTML tags (such as <H1> and </H1>) appear with the texts characters in the Edit Text dialog box. Unless you understand HTML coding, dont change anything between the angle brackets (< >).
98
WebEasy
In addition, WebEasy provides a spell checker. To check spelling, click the Spelling button on the Review and Tools tab. You can also specify Spell Checker settings and add words to your user dictionary. For details, see Spell Checker Help.

This chapter has the following information: Getting Bookmarked on Other Websites on page 106 Linking to Photo-Sharing Sites on page 109 Embedding Photos or Albums on page 111 Embedding Videos with Widgets on page 114 Adding Links to Other Accounts on page 116 Adding Like Buttons on page 117 Having Visitors Contact You on page 118 Adding Google Information to Your Site on page 119 Adding Yelp Review Buttons on page 119
Chapter 9: Integrating with Other Websites
Getting Bookmarked on Other Websites

Some sites (such as Delicious or Digg) offer a bookmarking service where people can save bookmarks online, share them with other people, and see what other people are bookmarking. Also, people who have other social media accounts (such as Facebook) can add bookmarks to show sites that they prefer.
Adding Bookmarking Widgets

With WebEasy you can add icons for visitors to bookmark your site to their bookmarking or social network account.
Note: Visitors must have an account with the site for bookmarking. In many cases, clicking the icon shows a login page for the site.
To add a bookmark (general): 1. On the Insert and Modify tab in the Insert section, click the
Object button.
2. In the Insert Object dialog box, click the WebWidgets tab.
3. In the list, select an object starting with Bookmark on. 4. Click OK.

Some sites have specific parameters or you may have to embed code. You may type the value directly or in a dialog box. For details, see the section about the specific service.
7. Click OK.
To verify the bookmark, preview your site and click the icon.
Note: To actually create a valid bookmark to your site, you must publish the site online.

Adding Multiple Bookmark Icons

With all the bookmark WebWidgets that WebEasy provides, you could have a range of icons on your website. In general, use the individual icons if you want to provide bookmarking for a few sites. If you want a comprehensive solution, WebEasy has three WebWidgets that give your visitors access to multiple icons. Adding a Static Multiple Bookmark Bar In the WebWidget tab, WebEasy provides a single WebWidget that includes all twelve bookmarks. After you click to position this WebWidget, you may need to adjust the wide bar on the page.

Adding a Dynamic Bookmark Bar AddThis is a bookmark sharing service that you can use to add a dynamic list of bookmark icons to your site. WebEasy provides WebWidgets for two AddThis bookmark bars. When viewed on the web page, a small bar appears that expands when a visitor moves the pointer over it. These two bookmarks are identical except one shows BOOKMARK in the bar and the other shows SHARE. In the expanded view visitors can click one of many sites to add the bookmark (including sites that arent available as WebWidgets, such as LinkedIn).
To add multiple, dynamic bookmarking icons:
In the list on the WebWidgets tab of the Insert Object dialog box, select Bookmark on AddThis (Add) or Bookmark on AddThis (Share). After you click the pointer, in the Object Properties dialog box, adjust the values in the following parameters: Title and Source URL.
To test an AddThis bookmark, you must publish the site online.

Chapter 10 Building and Publishing Your Website

Building your document is a process that organizes your website files so they can be uploaded to the remote server. Publishing your website involves uploading all the files to the remote server so that it is accessible to visitors on the Internet. With WebEasy Hosting, you can use the Publish button to automatically build and publish your website. If you are using a third-party hosting service, you need to build your website before you transfer or upload the files. This chapter has the following information: Before You Build Your Website on page 122 Building and Publishing to WebEasy Hosting on page 122 Building and Publishing to Third-Party Website Hosting on page 124 Viewing Your Website on page 129 Maintaining Your Website on page 130
Chapter 10: Building and Publishing Your Website
Before You Build Your Website

Know the kind of website are you building. You can build your document into four types of websites: An XHTML website with CSS has cascading style sheet support, but does not support some dynamic effects, such as scenes or page transitions found in DHTML web pages. It uses stricter coding standards than are necessary for HTML. With todays standards, this is the preferable type to use. These sites should work as expected in all modern browsers. An HTML website with CSS is similar to XHTML sites, but does not use the stricter XHTML standards. These sites should work as expected in all modern browsers. A dynamic website (DHTML) has extra features, such as page transitions, scenes, and other Dynamic HTML (DHTML) effects. Even if you build a DHTML site, the DHTML features may not work in all browsers or with the settings that some visitors apply to their browsers. A simple website (HTML) has basic features without extras, such as rollover images, page transitions, or animated text and objects. These sites should be viewable in modern and older browsers. Use this for eBay auction pages or in any situation where you cannot use CSS.
Building and Publishing to WebEasy Hosting

Building and Publishing to WebEasy Hosting is quick and simple. WebEasy automatically creates the website package file (a TXT file) with information about which files to transfer to the remote computer at WebEasy Hosting. Then, WebEasy automatically publishes your website.
122
WebEasy
To build and publish your document to WebEasy Hosting: 1. On the WebEasy Hosting tab, click Publish.

sites link to verify the website. (If you selected multiple domains, the wizard has links to each.)
7. To close the wizard, click Finish.
Note: You may need to reload the page in the browser or clear the browsers Internet cache to see the updated pages.
Building and Publishing to Third-Party Website Hosting

Before you publish your website, you need to build it by converting the WebEasy document into files that work on the Web. Once you have built the website package, you can publish it to your hosting service.
Building the Website Package for Third-Party Hosting

WebEasy creates a website package file (a TXT file) with information about which files to transfer to the remote computer. You choose a folder on your hard drive to save the so they can be uploaded to the hosting server.
To build your document for third-party hosting: 1. On the Review and Tools tab, click Build.
The Build Dynamic Website dialog box appears. Your dialog box may show different information, depending on the type of website you are building.

WebEasy
125
Note: File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a common method for securely transferring files from a private computer to a public web-hosting server. Your web hosting service must also support FTP.
Using the Publish Assistant

You can use Publish Assistant to publish your website to the Internet. Your Connection Profile When you upload a website package the first time, you set up a Connection Profile that is saved for future use. Your Connection Profile includes information about your website on your hosting service. Before you publish, make sure you have information from your hosting service, such as the host name or IP address, your user name and password, your website URL, and the target folder on the hosting server where your files are to be uploaded.
To publish your site to a web hosting service with the Publish Assistant: 1. On the Review and Tools tab, click 3rd Party Publish. 2. In the Publish Assistant wizard, click Next.
126
WebEasy
3. On the left, select the website folder to upload.

Publishing with FTP Max

As an alternative to the WebEasy Hosting Services Publishing wizard or the Publish Assistant, advanced users can publish websites using FTP Max, an easy-to-use FTP utility. With it you can transfer files to and from your remote server and manage your remote files. The remote server must support FTP to use this option.
To run FTP Max and upload your files: 1. On the Review and Tools tab, click Transfer Files.
The FTP Max utility opens and
128
WebEasy
2. In the Connect dialog box, if the profile is not yet set up,

lower panel.
7. Then click Upload. 8. After the transfer completes, click Finish.
Viewing Your Website

After publishing your site, you should always view it in a browser to see if everything transferred correctly. Its a good practice to view it in several different browsers to understand your visitors experience. You may need to make some adjustments if the website appears differently in browsers.
WebEasy 129

Chapter 11: Adding Enhanced Features
Creating Specialized Websites

With WebEasy you can create specialized websites by using wizards in the WebSite Assistant. The specialized sites include: Photo album sites Pages for eBay auctions Blog sites iPhone and mobile phone sites
Creating a Photo Album Website

The Website Assistant includes a Photo Album wizard for creating web pages that are professional-looking photo galleries. You can specify a page style and fill it with thumbnail images of the photos to display. Before creating the site, you may want to place all the images for the album into a single folder on your computer. To create a photo album website, you use the Website Assistant. Select Photo Album Wizard in the Family and Personal category. For details, see WebEasy Help.
Creating an eBay Auction Page

You can use the eBay wizard to create a personalized auction listing that you can use on eBay. You can customize the text for your auction.
Note: You must have an eBay seller account before you can create an eBay auction. Be sure that you read and understand eBays Terms of Service before you post any items for sale on eBay.
136
WebEasy
You can insert a photo into your auction description if you have a digital or scanned photo of your auction item that is stored on your personal website or with an online photo-hosting service somewhere on the Web. Have the URL for the photo available before going through the wizard.
Note: If your auction photo is on your own computer, you must use eBays standard photo hosting services to transfer photos from your computer to the eBay servers. For information, see eBays online help.
Read the instructions and recommendations on eBay for designing the page. Use these guidelines: Use Plain Text and Rich Text items only. (Do not insert Graphic Text.) Use only solid colors as backgrounds or foregrounds. In general, do not use images except for one image that is available online. Have the URL for that image available. To use other images on the page, see WebEasy Help for details. Do not use links to other pages or websites. Only have one page in your site. Do not have overlapping objects on your page design.
To create an eBay page, you use the Website Assistant. Select eBay Wizard in the Business category. For details, see WebEasy Help.
Creating Blogs
Blogs (Web Logs) are specialized sites where a user posts regular entries for visitors to read. In addition to creating a blog site with WebEasy, you can link to a personal account from a blogging site.
WebEasy 137
To create a blogging website, you use the Website Assistant. Select Blog Wizard in the Family and Personal category. For details, see WebEasy Help.
Creating Websites Compatible with Mobile Devices

You can create websites that work with iPhones and other mobile devices. The mobile device templates are smaller, so they fit the mobile devices screen better than a full-sized site. To create a mobile-device website, you use the Website Assistant. Select the iPhone and Mobile photo category and then select a template. For details, see WebEasy Help. After creating a website for mobile devices you can add a redirect script so visitors who use mobile devices see the optimized site instead of the regular site. For details, see Redirecting to a Mobile-Optimized Site in WebEasy Help.
Changing Scenes
Scenes are pages that change appearance based on the time of day, the day of the month, a season, or another factor. You can only have scenes with a DHTML site. The Scenes Assistant helps you adjust images, text, or backgrounds on the same website page based on conditions. A visitor to your website experiences these themes. For example, the theme called Day of the Week might display different marketing slogans on Monday, Tuesday, or Sunday. A Theme is a collection of the scenes available based on specified factors, such as the day of the week.
138
WebEasy
A Scene is a website page design prepared for a particular instance from the theme collection, such as Monday, summer, or Mothers Day.
For details about creating scenes, see WebEasy Help.
Adding e-Commerce Features

You can add features to your website for visitors to purchase products online. To do this, you sign up with an e-commerce vendor for payment processing. With WebEasy you can select from five different vendors.
WARNING: INFORMATION ABOUT VENDORS OTHER THAN THE WEBEASY PAYMENTS SOLUTION ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT SUPPORT. WEBEASY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE AVAILABILITY OF ESHOP BUTTONS FOR VENDORS OTHER THAN THE WEBEASY PAYMENTS SOLUTION THROUGH THE PROGRAM.
Design your website document and include the eShop buttons for the products you sell.
Recommendations

Adding Dynamic Links

With the help of Internet vendors, you can add components to your page that are dynamically updated by third parties, such as news, weather reports, stock market prices, or advertising. By inserting a dynamic link on your site, you can also direct your visitors to e-shops and services on the Internet. To create your own eShop, see Adding e-Commerce Features on page 139. You must have an account with the online service to be able to create a dynamic link.
To add a dynamic link: 1. Click the Insert and Modify tab. 2. In the Insert section, click Object > Dynamic Link. 3. In the Dynamic Link Assistant wizard, click Next and follow
the on-screen instructions to insert a dynamic link.
Adding Advanced Objects

WebEasy includes a large selection of ready-to-use objects that you can insert into your document. These range from simple design elements (such as colorful page dividers) to advanced elements (such as forms, navigation bars, VRML, 3D motion designs, and gadgets). The iPhone Redirection object automatically detects if a visitor accesses your website with an iPhone or iPod Touch. If you have created a site optimized for viewing on these screens, the visitor has the option of going to the optimized site.
To add an advanced object to your document: 1. Click the Insert and Modify tab. 2. In the Insert section, click the Object button.
142 WebEasy
3. In the Insert Object dialog box, click a tab to display an
object group: Click Animations for objects (such as moving text that you can replace with your own text) to create a dynamic DHTML website. Click Auto links to create links in the form of balls, bullets, or numbers. WebEasy automatically calculates the number of pages in your document and creates a link to each page. Click Dividers to use pre-designed page dividers, some of which are animated. Click Forms to insert complete forms or individual fields and modules. Click Gadgets to add ready-to-use objects (such as a visitors counter, calculator, calendar, or a status bar clock). Click Navigation for pre-designed navigation bars with buttons that you can link. Click Objects to add specialized objects (such as YouTube videos) or coding (such as No Right Click). Click Search to use a specific search engine with your site.

4. Select the item and make modifications as needed. 5. Click OK.
For information about adding a counter to your site, see WebEasy Help. Other topics give specific information about adding certain objects.
WebEasy
143
Adding Multimedia
You can easily insert audio, video, and other multimedia to your website.
Adding Sound Effects or Music

You can add sound to your web page, to specific items on your web page, or both. If you add sound to a web page, the sound plays when the page opens. If you add sound to an item, such as an image, text, or shape, the sound plays when the visitor clicks the item. WebEasy provides a collection of audio clips, including sound effects and music.
WARNING: AUDIO CLIPS PLAY DIFFERENTLY IN HTML AND DYNAMIC HTML WEBSITES. ALSO, YOU SHOULD NOT ASSUME THAT ALL USERS HAVE THE APPROPRIATE PLUG-INS INSTALLED ON THEIR COMPUTER OR EVEN HAVE A SOUND CARD. USERS MAY HAVE THEIR BROWSERS SET TO NOT SUPPORT SCRIPTS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO PLAY AUDIO FILES.
To add sound to a web page: 1. Open the page. 2. On the Insert and Modify tab, in the Modify section, click
Effects > Page Audio.
144
WebEasy
3. In the Background Audio dialog box, select the Enable page
background audio check box.

4. To have the audio clip only play once, clear the Loop check
box. (By default, the audio plays continuously.)

5. Click the Browse button. In the Browse dialog box, locate
and select the audio file. Click Open. By default, the Browse dialog box opens to the WebEasy/Audio/Effects folder.
6. To listen to the audio file, click the Play button. To stop the
playback, click the Stop button.

7. Click OK. To add sound to an item on a page: 1. Select the item for linking the sound clip. 2. On the Home tab, click the Link button in the Page section.
3. In the Link dialog box, in the Link Type list, select Audio
File.
WebEasy
145
4. Click the Audio Files button in the Browse area. In the
Browse dialog box, locate and select the audio file and click Open.
5. To test the sound, click the Play button. 6. To stop playing the file before it ends, click the Stop button. 7. Click OK.
Adding Multimedia Objects

You can easily insert movies, flash video, or other multimedia files into your document. The multimedia object wont run in the document until it has been built. To quickly view the web page with the multimedia object, preview the website.
Note: Not all browsers support all multimedia objects.
To insert multimedia from the Media Gallery: 1. Select the item you want to use in the Media Gallery.
If the Media Gallery doesnt appear in the WebEasy window, on the Insert and Modify tab, click Media Gallery.
2. Drag to place the file as an object in your document.
You can also insert multimedia available on other websites with a WebWidget from the Insert Object dialog box. For details, see Chapter 9 Integrating with Other Websites on page 105.
146
WebEasy
Adding Podcasts
A podcast is a method for including multimedia files on your website, such as audio or video, that are available for playback or for downloading.
Note: You can use your RSS feed to tell your site visitors about these files and then they can view or listen to them on your website.
To add multimedia files to your site, you must have already created them. For details, see the previous sections or see WebEasy Help.
Listening to Sound Files

You can use the Multimedia Player to listen to sound files youve inserted onto a page before building the website.
To listen to a sound file: 1. Select the sound file or open a page with page audio. 2. Click the Review and Tools tab. 3. In the Multimedia Player section, click Play.
4. Click Pause to pause the playback or click Stop to stop
playing the file.
Viewing Multimedia Files

With the Multimedia Player you can view multimedia files (such as AVI and Quick Time movies and animated GIF images) or listen to sound files in a page while the page is still in document
WebEasy 147
form. The Multimedia Player works with WAV, MID, AVI, MOV and other major multimedia formats.
To view a multimedia file: 1. Select a multimedia file. 2. Click the Review and Tools tab. 3. In the Multimedia section, click the Play button.
4. Click Pause or Stop to no longer view the multimedia file.
To adjust the multimedia player or use a placeholder image on the web page, see WebEasy Help.
Creating Animated Items

You can add interest and excitement to web pages by animating static objects. For example, you can have text fly in a page or have a graphic move from one location to another. For details, see this topic in WebEasy Help.
Note: WebEasy also provides some standard animations in the Insert Object dialog box on the Animations tab.
Adding RSS
Use Really Simple Syndication (RSS) to have the visitors to your website receive RSS feeds. These feeds automatically keep site visitors informed about the sites latest news and developments. They are especially useful if you frequently change or add content.
148 WebEasy
To create RSS content in WebEasy, first create a web page for WebEasy to use for creating an XML file (the feed) with your sites latest information. Then, you add a link to that file into one of your web pages, generally the main page. You can create a link to a single line of text, an icon, or an image. When a visitor clicks the link, the XML file opens in their browser or RSS reader and displays the RSS information.
Note: Not all browsers recognize RSS feeds. Review each browsers documentation for further information.
For details on setting up an RSS feed, see WebEasy Help.
Adding WebWidgets
WebWidgets include tools for social networking, photo-sharing, and bookmark-sharing sites. For example, you can link to photos on your Facebook page or in your Flickr account. You must specify parameters when you insert WebWidgets. For example, to insert the Album on Flickr widget, you must specify your user ID and photo album location. Each widget includes different parameters for you to set. For information about inserting WebWidgets with media or links to other sites, see Chapter 9 Integrating with Other Websites on page 105.
Note: You can also click Objects on the Media Gallery toolbar and double-click the WebWidgets folder. Drag the appropriate object onto the web page.
To insert a WebWidget: 1. Click the Insert and Modify tab. 2. In the Insert section, click the Object button.
WebEasy 149
3. In the Insert Object dialog box, click the WebWidgets tab. 4. Select the object to insert. 5. Click OK. 6. Move the pointer over the page and click to place the object. 7. If the Object Properties (or Embedded Object Properties)
dialog box opens, adjust the values as needed. For details about inserting WebWidgets, see Integrating with Other Websites on page 105.
8. Click OK.
For many objects, you must preview the site to see the object correctly.
Adding Scripts
JavaScript is a programming (or script) language. Generally, you add a script to add functionality of some type to your website. For example, you can have the script open a separate browser window or display a message under certain conditions. WebEasy includes some standard scripts that you can add for implementing common web design features.
Note: Some visitors may have blocked scripts from running in their browsers.
For information about using defined scripts (such as for redirecting pages) or creating custom scripts, see WebEasy Help.

Chapter 12 Problem Solving

If you experience problems with WebEasy, you can find answers to some frequently asked questions and helpful hints here. This chapter has the following information: Problems with Items on page 152 Problems with Text on page 154 Problems with Links on page 155 Problems When Publishing on page 156 Problems Viewing Sites in a Browser on page 157
Chapter 12: Problem Solving
Problems with Items

An item on my website is hidden behind another one. With WebEasy you can layer items from front to back. To access the item, you can: If you dont want to move the overlaying item, select that item in front and click the Hide button on the Layout tab. You should be able to see the item underneath. To move the overlaying item but maintain its position on the page, select it and click Send Backward or Send to Back on the Layout tab.
A graphic frame does not fit to my image. If you drag a frame from the Media Gallery onto an image, it only fits if it is dragged directly onto a selected image. If the handles do not show, the frame and image will not fit together. If you have an image and a frame in your document that you want to fit together, use the Fit dialog box.
To fit an image and a graphic frame: 1. Select the image and the frame. 2. Then click the Fit button on the Layout tab. 3. On the Frame tab, select Fit the frame to the selection or
Fit the selection to the frame.

4. Click OK.
152
WebEasy
Portrait-oriented images appear as landscape images. Your digital camera might show all the images you take in landscape mode. In WebEasy, rotate the images by 90 degrees. For more information, see Rotating Images on page 77. When I added an oval frame to my image, it did not fit. Oval frames should be used with oval stencils. If you have dragged an oval frame onto your image, click Stencil on the Media Gallery toolbar. Open the Oval folder, and drag an oval-shaped stencil onto your image. When I deleted my frame, my image disappeared as well. WebEasy groups images and frames together to make it easy for you to work with them. When you select a frame, the handles show you whether you have selected just the frame or both the frame and the image. If the handles are squares, you have selected just the frame. If the handles are diamonds, you have selected both the frame and the image. If the selection you have made is not the one you wanted, select the item again. The handles should alternate between diamond and square each time you select an item. A better way to remove a frame from an image is click Image > Clear Frame in the Modify section of the Insert and Modify tab.
WebEasy
153
Problems with Text

My text has become an image. Text sometimes becomes an image when WebEasy builds the site because the text overlaps onto another item on the page. To prevent text from becoming an image, make sure text items do not overlap other items or build the site as a DHTML website. Text also becomes an image when you apply a gradient or texture fill. In websites, adding a shadow also causes text to become an image although not for DHTML websites. I cannot see all my text. If you enlarge text after you type it in, the text frame may be too small to display all the text. Enlarge the text frame by selecting the text item and dragging the handles. Use the handles on the sides of the text frame to widen it. Use the handles on the top and bottom of the text frame to increase the height. Use the handles on the corners of the text frame to increase the height and width at the same time.
154
WebEasy
Problems with Links

Some of my links to other sites do not work. WebEasy does not verify that the Internet addresses you provide are correct. You can use the Site Map Assistant (available on the Review and Tools tab) to check the internal links from and to each page. (See Viewing Links with the Site Map Assistant in WebEasy Help.) Make sure that you havent made any mistakes when typing the Internet addresses and that the addresses are still valid. Make sure that the Internet address that you entered begins with http://. This is required for links to other sites.
If you cannot find anything wrong with the addresses, see your Internet Service Provider. Some of the links to other parts of my site are not working. Make sure that you have not created links to pages that you have subsequently deleted. It is best to add your links after you have completely finished designing your document. Use the Site Map Assistant (available on the Review and Tools tab) to check your links from and into each page. (See Viewing Links with the Site Map Assistant in WebEasy Help.)
WebEasy
155
Problems When Publishing

The Publish Assistant says required files have been deleted from my local folder. This occurs when a package file is missing from the local folder on your computer. If the package file is missing, the Publish Assistant cannot compare local and remote files. You must re-publish your entire website. If the package file for a website you want to delete is missing, the Publish Assistant cannot delete that website. Copy the package file from the HTML folder (or the folder in which you stored the HTML files for your website) into the local folder. Now when you publish, the Publish Assistant can delete the website. Theres not enough disk space on my remote host to publish my website. If this is the first time youre publishing your website, check that the space your web hosting service has allocated to you for a website is greater than the size of the contents of your local website folder. Your local website folder is typically at:
\\My Documents\Web Easy\HTML\your_web_site_name
If the allocated space on the remote host is smaller, you can either request more space from your web hosting service or reduce the size of your website. You can reduce the size of your website by reducing the size of any large graphics, by removing a page, or by removing large files that are linked to the site. If you have already published a website, you can make the one you are publishing now smaller, or you can delete the first
156 WebEasy
website from your remote host. Deleting a website from your remote host does not remove your local version of it.
Problems Viewing Sites in a Browser

Some of my linked items are not visible. If the browser does not display an item on your website that has a specific type of link (for example, an embedded object link), it doesnt support that type of link. Your visitors might need to upgrade to the latest version of the browser to view these linked items. The latest versions of most browsers are free to download from the Internet. When I view my website in a browser, it does not display correctly. Because WebEasy enables you to do so much with your website, the HTML files that you build can be quite complex. Some older browsers cannot handle that complexity. Try altering your document design to reduce its complexity. One way of doing this is to avoid having items that overlap. If you do not want to alter your design, you can try viewing your website in other browsers or upgrading to a newer version of the browser you are using. You should remember that even though some browsers display your website without problems, others might not and visitors might use those other browsers. You should try to create a website that can be viewed without problems with as many different browsers as possible.
WebEasy
157
When I view my website in different browsers, it looks different. Different browsers may interpret web page coding and scripting differently. Because of this, they may display your website differently. Sometimes there is nothing you can do about the differences. For example, some browsers use different color palettes and those browsers display colors differently. If visitors use Large Fonts in Windows, some browsers provide improper font sizes that arent controllable by HMTL.
