Adding and Editing Content on the Web or Using the

Desktop?

There are two ways to write a post – either on the web (Artisteer.net > Home > New Post) or using the
desktop (Artisteer > Home > New Blog Post). These methods serve different purposes – working in

Artisteer.net requires a connection to the Internet; working with content on the desktop can be done

offline (though you need to be connected to the web eventually to publish your website to
Artisteer.net). Most bloggers are accustomed to working online. Editing the page and post content in

Artisteer.net will not be something new to them as it is very similar to WordPress. Normally though,
like working in Wordpress, when you create your content online, you don’t often see the visual

appearance of your pages in the HTML editor, even in Visual Mode because the ‘style’ and the content

are not combined. Using Artisteer on the desktop gives you more control over the design because in
the preview area, you see your changes just as your viewers will see the page on your website. This

is because what you see in Artisteer is the ‘style’ applied to the content; you do not have to visit your
published page to see how it will look to your viewers. For example, suppose you decide the text in

your articles should be ‘red’. On the desktop when you create your article, you should notice that the
text you enter for the article content appears in ‘red’. However, to create an article on Artisteer.net

(like other CMSs), you use the online HTML editor to enter the text. Unless you apply a different style

to the text, the text appears ‘black’ in the editor because ‘black’ is the default color. On your web
page, the text will be ‘red’ but you will not see this in the editor. You will not see the text in ‘red’ until

you preview your web page.
