Creating a new site

After clicking OK, a site outline opens up.

This is the site outline that represents the organization of the website as it will exist on the file system of the server.

Add your content to the new website

• If you already have large sections of a site, you can import a folder.

• If you have some of the files, you can add those files one at a time.

• If you are starting from scratch, RM will create the files as you go.

Importing material is covered in a different section. Here we will discuss how to build a site from scratch.

You can build a site several ways depending on how you work. If you have an idea of the organization of the site in advance, you can type in this organization freeform into the outline. For each file in your website, choose initialize item from the ringmaster menu. You only initialize non folder objects. Once an outline item is initialized, an type specific menu will appear containing options for that object type. You need to be running a web browser to use the interface for property editing.

Building your site

The Site Outline view is the view in which you locally build

Three views of your site

There are three views in RingMaster of your site.

You can edit or release objects from any of the three views.
