The article editor is where the magic happens. The main event of your website is, after all, its content, and the article editor is where articles are created, edited and published to your website.
Article Editor Menu
The article editor menu is the first page displayed after you sign into Big Medium. You can also get there by clicking "Article Editor" under "Content" in the left-column menu of the Big Medium control panel.
The article editor menu displays all of the articles available to your account for editing and allows you to do simple searching through the article archive. Click here for more information about the menu.
Create New Article
To add an article to the system, click the "New Article" link under "Content" in the left-column menu of the Big Medium control panel or the "Create New Article" link from the main page of the article editor. These links take you to the article edit page for a new article (see "The Article Edit Page" below).
Edit an Existing Article
To display the edit page for an existing article, click the title of the article listed in the article editor menu. If one-click editing is enabled for the site, you can also go to the edit page by clicking the edit icon displayed on the live webpage.
The Article Edit Page
The article edit page is where you enter all of the information and content for your article. The article edit page is designed to allow you to publish a webpage quickly and efficiently while also enjoying fast access to Big Medium's feature-packed options.
Required fields
You only have to enter three pieces of information to publish a webpage to your site: the article title/headline, the article content, and the website section(s) where you would like the article to appear. The edit panels for these required fields appear at the top of the page and are marked with red asterisks.
Opening optional fields
Below the required fields, the article edit page offers many optional fields, which allow you to enhance the display of the article and offer a richer depth of information. When you first create a new article, the edit panels for these optional fields are not displayed. To open any of the edit panels for these optional fields, click the button for the option you would like to access, and the edit panel pops open.
For example, to add an author's name and e-mail address to your article, click the "Author Info" button under "Supporting Content." Likewise, to add pullquotes to your article, click the "Pullquotes" button.
