Web pages: Protopage
Here's another way to make a web site
using the very new and quite
different-looking tools offered by the
Protopage people.

Start at the Protopage site. Signing up is
free and simple. Use a content-related
name as this will appear in your web
address - for individual units or topics you
will be able to have separate pages so don't
be too specific.

There are simple instructions provided on
the first page. To add items you will need to
use Widgets, available on the bottom bar.
These you then drag into any position on
the page. Gravity on helps to keep things
tidy.

The background and colours of panels are
very customisable and pages have a unique
appearance which can be quite stylish.
Sticky note
Use this panel for simple text - a bit like this
section. It can be as long as you like and you can
copy and paste text into it. Ideal for an introduction
or short notes.

HTML / Rich text sticky note
This is better for text that you'd like a little larger
and is more suitable for longer notes. The font size,
and colour can be changed. You can also include
links and things like lines in the text easily.

The
Calendar panel provides options to highlight
future important dates. You can't display titles on
the panel but further detail will appear when users
hover over a date.

The
Bookmarks panel is ideal for a selection of
recommended links to other resources. Edit the
panel and add as many as you like.

Add a newsfeed to bring onto the page a panel of
your Web log headings or choose from a selection
of general interest or subject-related ones
available.
