Frequently Asked Questions
As questions are raised, I will update this page to answer those questions that are most frequently asked.
Q: How do I add a picture to a text page?
A: This page is in fact a text page and the easiest way to add a picture, is to type a word (eg. pic) where you want the picture to go, select that word you've typed (by clicking and dragging your mouse over it) and then press the Insert Picture icon on your admin control panel. The picture can then be uploaded as prompted, specifying the alignment required (left, right or centred), together with the alternative text for the picture, which is displayed if the picture doesn't load for any reason. This example has the picture of a smiley face placed immediately after the header above (Adding a Picture to a Text Page), the picture having been right aligned and given the alternative text: "Smiley Face".
Q: Is it easy to format the text on a page?
A: Yes. Primarily your chosen design/layout already has the headers, text, font, etc. formatted for that particular design, but you may wish to make certain text bold, italics or underlined, for example, which is done at the click of a button in your admin control panel. Please note that it is usual for hyperlinks to be underlined, so underlining text that is not a link can become confusing.
Q: Whilst you don't need to be aware of HTML coding to use the twbhosting Website Manager, can HTML coding be added or pasted onto the pages created on the website?
A: Yes. For example, the following YouTube clip HTML coding has been copied and pasted onto the web page below, and in addition has been centred on the page.
Q: Can I create a Site Map for submission to the search engines?
A: Yes. The twbhosting Website Manager has an option to include the automatic generation of a Site Map as used by the search engines. This option is turned off by default and can be turned on by ticking the box in the "My Website Details" section (go to "My Website" tab and click the "Edit Details" link under the "My Website Details" section).
Once ticked, you will see a message at the top of each page of your Admin Control Panel prompting you to generate a Site Map. This only appears when the Site Map needs to be created in the first place, or is out of date (because you've created more pages).
An extra field has been added to the Global Meta Tags section to enable any additional code required to be added to the header of your website, which is done as part of setting up and submitting a Site Map in the first place, for example.
The Site Map file created is called sitemap.xml and once created, can be submitted to Google, for example, from their Webmaster Tools page, in accordance with their instructions.
A Site Map helps a search engine to list every page of a website, and, please note that the Site Map will not include any Hidden Pages that you create, or Products that are inactive, for those with the Premium version.
