| The final step is
to make your web pages available for others to see on the web. If
you haven't already named your page, do so by clicking on the tab
at the top and then selecting Change name. Just
type in something suitable and it will be updated.

The same menu starts the publishing
process.

You will get a chance to change your
mind! And an interesting recently-added option to limit who can
see it. This could be useful for material that you only want certain
colleagues to see, or a particular group of students. If you use
this 'selected group only' feature then it would be a good idea
to have all the restricted content on one page and general stuff
on another.

In the top right corner you can also
see more options for publishing.

The main items of interest in this
window are colour scheme changes and layout choices. You may find
that switching from a 3-column (default) layout to a 1 or 2-column
one loses a column. Before reducing columns, move the panels around
to clear columns first. Save your amendments. everything you change
will be updated in the page now live on the web too.

This shows the address of the specific
page and of your 'site' generally. If you have just one or two pages
and the tabs make it obvious what each page contains then you will
usually only need to use the simpler, second address shown (the
unhighlighted one).
And if it has all gone horribly wrong,
there's always the un-publish button!
