Moving The Object Bar

Occasionally on some templates, you may find the Edit Bar getting in the way of another object that you want to edit. But you can move the edit bar out of the way at any time. Simply move your mouse to the position that you want to place it, hold down Ctrl on your keyboard, and then click. It's as simple as that!



And finally, we also now have an examples page on our website, available here. If you're struggling with ideas for site content or style, you can log onto this page to see our personal favourite creations from our customers. If you have a page you wish to submit to our examples page, send the link to support@350.com so we can take a look.



See you in the New Year!

Linking Pages

Seasons greetings everyone! All of us at 350pages wish you the very best over the holiday season and hope you get whatever it is that you wish for. If you're wishing for a website, we can grant you an early present with 350pages, so dive in and check out our newest features.



Linking Pages:

We think you might like to take a closer look at some of the features within 350pages on a regular basis here on the blog, and the first we've chosen is the Button Bar Editor. On templates that have a button bar - either vertically or horizontally orientated, the button graphics are grouped together so that they can be edited quickly together. Let's say you had created four pages in a template set and wanted to link them together. By hovering the mouse pointer slightly outside of the buttons, you will see that the edit bar shifts to the top of the entire group of
buttons.





Click on the edit function on this bar, and you can see the menu of all of the buttons together.





We have four pages, but here are six buttons - so let's eliminate the bottom two buttons (News and Contact) by clicking the small X on the right for each of them. Then we will rename the other four buttons to match our four webpages. Now we will set up the links. On the home button, click on the drop down menu and choose "350 page or object". You will see the 'Link To' button on the right changes to a drop down menu. When you click on this, it will display a list of every file in your
File Manager - so you simply click on the appropriate page. Here's an image of a completely linked website from the buttons we were editing:

Groups

If you're snap happy with your camera like me, then you'll want to put your photos onto your webpages in a gallery style. So we have created a 'Group copy' and we have also added more template layouts in various styles. These new layouts - Ayin, Pe, Pe-1, Kaf and Zayin, each feature the ability to duplicate the row of photos with captions.



This is perfect if you wish to create a gallery of your holiday/family snaps or want to present a page full of your products. If you hover your mouse near to the row of content, you will see a reduced editing bar:





Simply click the Insert button, choose Copy of Group from the menu, and click the above or below button to duplicate the group!





For those unsure of what the new layouts look like in the template picker, take a look at the screenshots below taken from the various sets. Remember they are available in a wide number of our templates for all different kinds of look and feel.





Currently, you can't upload photos whilst you are editing a webpage - but we are working on it! In the meantime, the workaround is to upload all of the images you want on a specific page before you start the creation process. Planning out your page in advance will certainly help you to achieve that, and we have a few helpful tips on planning available at our QuickGuides page located here.



So now you can create as many photo galleries as you like.
