Templates - Adding Editable Regions

When a template is used certain parts of the page cannot be changed, these are fixed and can only be changed by changing the template itself. The other parts of a template that can be changed are known as editable regions. Each editable region in a template must have a unique name.

1. Click on the Template tab in the Insert panel. What are the seven buttons that are displayed?

2. Place your cursor in the heading "Spotlight on [name of state park]". Select the <h2> tag that is displayed on the tag selector display. The entire line should be selected. Now click on the Editable Region button on the Templates tab of the Insert panel.

3. When the editable region dialogue box appears type in "park_name" as the name for this region. Click OK.

4. Repeat this process for the next line "Add short description of park" but select the <p> tag. Give this editable region the following name "park_description". Click OK.

5. Click in the left cell of the first table. Click on the <table> tag in the tag selector. Make this an editable region named "parks_images". Click OK.

6. Repeat this for the second table giving the editable region a name of "links". Click OK and save your template.
