Advanced Techniques

Advanced Options

These features can allow you to insert embed codes or do other advanced functions.

Table of Contents

This is just what it sounds like, a Table of Contents. However if you want to create a list of external websites that students have created but not have them appear on your site menu, use this to see all the student sites so that you can build a showcase or grade them. A Table of Contents will also work with any text that you use Heading or Subheading to format.

Collapsible Text

Click on the heading to expand and collapse.

Collapsible Text

If you have long paragraphs of text, or maybe a FAQs page that you want to collapse and expand, you can use this option.

Button

Name the button and insert an internal or external link.

Inserting Videos & Media

Go into Insert > YouTube. You can search for a video or use an uploaded video. You can't find a particular on YouTube, you can go to a video, click on Share and copy the Share code.

You can also insert a Google Calendar, Map or different docs. The most up-to-date content will be shown.

To insert other content, you can use the url (address code) and Google will attempt to insert it. If that doesn't work, many programs also give you an Embed code which you can use to insert.

Customize Fonts

While Sites gives you a few pre-formatted Themes with font options, other choices are limited. However, take a look at the video embedded on the Site Resources page on Customizing Fonts for a few hacks using the https;//fonts.google.com site and embedding HTML code. Note colors don't work.

Note: If you click on the box below, you can see the HTML code that created it.
