First a little background: The format of the text on your website falls under the rules of the CSS setup by your web designer. The CSS file defines the styles incorporated into your text and layout. The best way to format your edited text is to stay within the definitions of your CSS files.
Each paragraph has a definition assigned to it - this is usually Normal text or a Header of some type. Place your cursor on the paragraph in question and click the paragraph drop-down (
). You may use one of these predefined formats by choosing it from the drop-down.
Certain text may also take on the characteristics of a Style which can be chosen from the Style Selection button (

Important: Before uploading a picture into your website, use an image editing program to resize the picture so that the dimensions are somewhere between 200-500 pixels. Uploading an image directly from a high mega-pixel camera will take too much time to download for the viewer.

). Click the folder icon (
) to browse for a photo on the server:
Choose an image, or click Browse and Upload to upload an image from your computer.

By default, images are positioned inline in the paragraph the same as characters from the keyboard. In order to allow text to wrap around them, the pictures must be positioned right, left, or placed within a table.
To position the image to the right or left of the paragraph, select the image, then click the image button ().
Change the alignment with the Alignment drop-down, or add spacing around your picture by adding 10-20 pixels of spacing.
To add a table, position your cursor and click the table icon (
) to choose a table size. A table is inserted and you may add content to each cell. Change the table properties with the Table Properties icon (
).

How do we record a message for use with the Sermon Player?
The first step in providing online messages is having the sermons recorded in a digital format. This can be done with a dedicated CD recorder, or directly to a computer. It is best if the CD recorder is NOT set to automatically insert chapater breaks throughout the message.
If your message has been recorded to a CD, an MP3 file must be "ripped" from the CD. You can use iTunes (a free application) to do this. Just Google "ripping CD with itunes" and follow instructions that are readily available for your computer and version of itunes.
If you need to append a series of MP3 files together or perform other signal processing on your mp3 files, you may consider purchasing software such as Sony Sound Forge, or Adobe Audition.
