Global settings

When you log in for the first time, the only option available is 'edit global settings'. Click 'OK', and you will be taken to a page entitled Carrelet: Global Settings. This page is used to control settings that affect every page in your account. You need to complete this page in order to activate your account. You will be able to return to this page at any time if you need to change the settings.

(Note that it is important to proceed by clicking the buttons on the Carrelet pages, rather than by using the 'back' button on your browser. This is because the content of the pages changes as you work, and also because the pages are only valid for a limited amount of time. For this reason, you should also 'save' your work every ten minutes or so by clicking on modify and then returning to the page on which you were working.)

For the moment we will just set the values that are needed to activate the account:

• Site Title is the name that will be displayed at the top of all the pages in your account. Try to keep this short and informative.
• Description is used mainly by search engines when they reference your site. Type in a paragraph of text describing your site.
• Keywords are also used by search engines. Type in a list of key words that apply to your site, separated by commas.
• Number of pages sets the initial number of pages in your account. You can add and delete pages at any time, but if you know that you need a certain number of pages at once it is quicker to say so at this point.
• Email address is the email address used to send you information entered into forms on the website. Note that Carrelet will never display your email address on the site unless you specifically type it in.

Leave the other options as they are for now. Click on modify at the bottom of the page. If all goes well, you should be taken to a short message confirming that the account has been activated. Click on continue to return to the control panel.
