 How to load your own images for the site

• Go to the updater for the page you wish to update.
• Select the area where you wish to load the image, you may need to create a table on the updater page to get the image on the right hand side of the page.

 How to Change the Left Menu

• From the Main Admin page click the Change Page Left Menu link.
• The left Menu window opens and shows the menu items in order.
• Menu items are updated one at a time.
• Simply make a change to an item and click the Update Item button.
• The table will change and the menu items will show in order.
• To change the order of the menu items change the number in the Menu Order box either higher or lower to reflect where you want the item to appear on the menu. Save the items as you make the changes.
• You may end up with two items with the same Menu Order number, simply make the numbers higher on the items that you wish to move down the order and save them one at a time as the changes are made. The page will refresh showing you the new order. 
• The Menu Title is the text that shows on the menu and can be changed.
• The Mouseover Text is the text that displays when a user Mouses Over the menu item on the page. The Mouseover Text is important for Search Engines so use terms that are readily understood.
• The Links to Page Number is the page that will open when a user clicks the link. When creating a new Menu Item choose a page to link to that is redundant. This can be checked on the page updater.  Select your page and make the link. The link will only show when there is text in the Menu Title box. Save the changes. From the Left Menu on the site pages you can then open the page updater using the coloured ball on the page itself or select the page from the page updater.
