 | Administrating the Content of your Sections
This sections will explain how to administer
the... Open Houses, What's New, Lenders, Partners, Testimonials and Links. Many of
these sections work in the same way thus the instructions will assume that you have
learned each section as we go. The links for these sections are located at the
bottom of your Admin Screen. |
 | Open Houses... In order to use the Open House
section we suggest placing one of your listings online by using the "Add/Edit Home
Listings" link located just above the content sections links. For detailed
instructions on adding a home listing click HERE. To list your up-coming Open
Houses, click on the "Open Houses" link. You will get a page to list your
open houses. Click on the "Add New" link. On the form enter the Date
of your open house in the mm/dd/yy format. Complete the rest of the form including
the General Information section. You will see a table showing your current
listings. This is so you may pick the index number for the index field. This
creates a link from your open house page to the actual listing. Click on the
"Update" button at the bottom of the page. This will take you back to your
open houses screen. From here you may add more open houses or click on the
"Admin Home Page" link to return to your Admin page. |
 | What's New... Click on the "What's New"
link. This will take you to a screen to add content. Use this section to
detail any thing new to your area. Complete each section. If no email or
web-site applies, you may type none in the fields. The "Sort Order" field
allows you determine the order you would like the items to display on your site,
regardless of when you added them. Use the "Update" button to add your
entry. You will go back to your What's New screen allowing you to add more items or
use the "Admin Home Page" link to return to your admin screen. |
 | Setup Lenders... Works just like the What's New
section. This is used to showcase the lenders of choice. This may be a good
tool to get lenders to link to your web site. |
 | Setup Partners... Works just like What's New
and Setup Lenders sections. Again this is a good tool to showcase your Title
Companies, Appraisers, Home Inspectors etc. Asking them for a return link can
provide increased traffic and sales. |
 | Setup Testimonials... Works just like the other
sections. You will see a check box item in this section that must be checked to
display on your site. This allows you to hide a testimonial. This is handy
should you want to use a testimonial later on. The sort order allows you to control
the order that your testimonials will display in, regardless of the time they were added. |
 | Setup Links... Works just like the other sections.
This will display similar to how search engines display links. The Name, then
a Description and then the site URL and link will be displayed. Again this is
another good tool to get people to exchange links with you, thus increasing traffic to
your web site. |
