Creating content

We have defined the type of page, the output formatting of the page and now it is time to define what we actually want people to read on the page.

1) Create new content

You can create new content only when the Content tab is open. Click on New... Content. This way we'll create a new content page which is using the Content data model. A content editor opens with the familiar controls we just saw when creating the data model. This time we are only going to define the content.

2) Fill the controls

Type "Hello World!" on the Name control and "This is my first Bildy page!" to the Content control.

3) Save

Once again, saving is done the same way no matter which type of editor you have open in Bildy.

4) Let's see what we got

Now your page is actually live on your site! To see what we just accomplished, open the content settings panel by click on the i icon on the right side of the editor. Here you'll see that you could have actually set the template and the publish state before saving the content, but the default settings were fine so we didn't do it. Under those settings you see a link to the page we just created. Click on it. If everything worked out fine, you should see your very first own Bildy page!

Creating this first page should give you understanding about what is needed to display content on a Bildy site. To learn more about creating Bildy sites, please continue using this documentation, and if you are still having problems please send us a question at the Bildy forum or through our web form. Don't hesitate to ask since we are continuously improving our documentation and with your feedback we can make it better.
