Creating New Categories, Sections and Subheadings '''BACK TO MAIN PAGE-- HOW TO USE THIS SITE--SITE INDEX--HELP--CONTACT PERC'''

If you have decided that your link is relevant to the site, but doesn't really fit under any of the pre created catergories(the links on the main page) then we welcome you to add a new category. 

STEP 1. Naming your Category
Think of what to call your category, make sure that the title is short and fairly general, becuase there will be sections and subheadings later on to specify different aspects of the category. Try to make sure your category overlaps the already exisiting categories as little as possible. Also evaluate whether the section you are thinking of isn't just a rephrasing of an already existing section or subheading.

STEP 2. Getting to "Edit"
Click on the Edit This Page Button at the bottom of the main page to open the edit window, which will show the code that creates the page. Scroll down to the bottom of the code, this is where you will add your new category.

STEP 3. Link Templates
The Table shown below has the code which you can copy and paste onto the Green Business Main Page code to create your new category.It also shows what finished code will look like to the viewer of the page. All you do is change each place where is says "title" (hightlighted in red). It is very important that you're sure you change both the "titles", but nothing else.

STEP 4. Creating a Title on your New Page
Once you've created your link on the main page, ''' click the Save Page Button located below the code window. This is important, if you don't, then your changes to the code won't be saved. Now, you'll notice that the link you've created appears on the page in red, this means that you've created a link to a page that doesn't exist yet. So click on the link you created, and it will automatically open to the EDIT window for your new page. Now you need to create the title for your page, this is much like creating the link itself. Simply copy the code from the following table and change where it says "title#"

STEP 5. Adding the links back to the Main Page
After you've created your section Title on the page add the following code

This creates the links back to the main page, the help page ect., as well as the message that says "please choose one of the following links" 

Creating New Sections
Once you've finished creating your new category page, click the Save Page Button located below the code window. Then you'll need to create links to your section pages. These should be slightly more specific for example under the category "Office Supplies", you can have the section "Paper Products" or "Food and Drink".

STEP 1
First you need to get to the EDIT screen on the Category Page. Do this by scrolling to the bottom of the page. Then you click on the link that says Edit This Page. Creating a new Section is alot like creating a category. First, you will copy the following code

and paste it at the bottom the pre-exisiting code. You then replace the both the words "title" with the title you've chosen for you section. '''Then click the Save Page Button located below the code window.

STEP 2 Creating a Title on your New Page
Now, you'll notice that the link you've created appears on the page in red, this means that you've created a link to a page that doesn't exist yet. So click on the link you created, and it will automatically open to the EDIT window for your new page. Now you need to create the title for your page, this is much like creating the link itself. Simply copy the code from the following table and change where it says "title#"

STEP 4. Adding the links back to the Main Page
After you've created your section Title on the page add the following code

This creates the links back to the main page, the help page ect.

STEP 5 The Final Step - Subheadings
Before adding your link you need to create a subheading to list it under, see "Creating New Subheadings". It is important that you do not just put your link on the page without a subheading, this way we can keep the page more organized. Before Continuing ''' click the Save Page Button located below the code window. . You can then relick on the EDIT PAGE link. If you do not save the page, your changes won't be applied. 

Creating New Subheadings
Creating new subheadings is important. They help organize the links on a page so that the people searching for topic imformation find what they are looking for quicker. The quicker they find it, the more likely they are to come back, and the better we all are for it. Before you decide to ass a new subheading however, make sure a similar one doesn't already exist on the site.

STEP 1.Where to put your subheading
Subheadings do not go on the main page. They are used on the other pages that are linked to the main page. For exapample,if you click on the link titled "Energy Conservation" you would see the "Energy Conservation" page. On that page there could be the links to the sections "Lighting" and "Transportation" you would then click on one of those links. Use your judgment to decide what section page the subheading should go on.

STEP 2.Naming your Subheading
Subheadings can be the most specific of all the levels (catergories, sections and subheadings). For example, under "Fair Trade/Organic food and drink" a subheading could be "coffee". Try and be sure that your subheading doesn't already exist somewhere else on the site.

STEP 3 Subheading Template
Creating a subheading is fairly simple. First, open the EDIT screen on the section page that you've chosen (Do this by scrolling to the bottom of the page. Then you click on the link that says Edit This Page .). Once you are on the EDIT page there will be a scrolling window with the code for the page in it. Scroll to the Bottom of the code, there you will copy and paste the following: Title 

STEP 4 NAME
Now you just need to highlight the word "title" contained in the code you just pasted and replace it with the title you have chosen for your subheading. '''Then click the Save Page Button located below the code window.
