- [Voiceover] When I first went through how to post content,…you might have noticed a whole bunch of options…that we didn't have time to discuss in any details.…Now we're gonna go back…and see how to do such things as style text,…add graphics, save past revisions,…and change metadata,…such as the page's author and posting time.…To demonstrate, we'll create an About Us page…for our museum site.…You'll find the text and graphic…in the course's exercise files,…or you can use whatever text and graphic you want.…I already have the text open in a text editor.…
On our site, to create the node,…I go up to Content.…Add content.…And Basic page.…Then I'll copy and paste the text…from my exercise file.…You'll notice this collection of tools at the top…that let you style the text somewhat.…I'm going to do that.…I'll make this text "An Introduction" bold.…And I'm going to highlight all of this…and turn it into a quote.…If you wonder what any of these tools do,…you can simply hover your cursor above them,…and it'll tell you.…
Before I save this, I want to point out this Source button.…
