Password-protected areas

1. To create a password-protected area, first click the button that reads "Add new password protected area".
2. You can choose any name or password for the area.
3. Check the pages you'd like to protect, then click the "Save" button.

If a visitor tries to access one of the protected pages, he will be directed to a login form in which he needs to enter the area's password to advance to the actual page.

Form archive

Here you can view every single form that was sent on your Jimdo page, and you also have the option to easily print one or all of them.

Add-ons

Flash

If you want to upload Flash movies to your website, you first need to switch the Flash support on, by selecting "on" and then hitting "Save". Once you do this, you can add Flash movie elements to any part of your Jimdo page.

Hide page

Sometimes it can be crucial to make a page invisible to visitors, for example to make them see your changes only once you're really done. To add such an option to your navigation, select "on" and then hit "Save".

Copyright text

You can add a copyright symbol (©) with a custom text at the bottom of your Jimdo page. Simply enter your text and hit "Save".

Photo gallery

If you want to allow visitors to enlarge pictures in your photo galleries, make sure the "on" option is selected. If you prefer visitors only to be able to view the image thumbnails, switch this function off.

3rd level

Here you can select the amount of levels you'd like your navigation structure to consist of (2 or 3 levels).

Login visible

If you don't want everyone to see the Login button at the bottom of your website, select "no" to switch it off.

Newsletter

Write a newsletter

1. Select the sender address and enter a subject and a text for your newsletter. You can send a test mail to yourself to see what your newsletter will look like. When you're done, move on to step 2.
2. Here you can select the recipients you'd like your newsletter to go out to - in case you don't want to send it to everyone.
3. Make sure to double-check the data you entered, and if it's all like it's supposed to be, hit the "Send newsletter" button.

Recipients

Here you can manually add recipients for your newsletter (only JimdoPro), view a list of all recipients and download a Microsoft Excel file containing the same list.

Settings

The sender you choose will be the address the newsletter recipients see when they receive the e-mail. You can choose any name and e-mail address you like.

If a certain part of your newsletter is always going to be the same, using the default settings might be a good idea. You can define a default subject (which can of course still be edited for each newsletter you write) and a signature that will represent the final section in your newsletters.

The last two options allow you to receive a notification e-mail whenever somebody subscribes to your newsletter, and... to be added

Deactivate

If you don't want to use the newsletter function anymore, you can deactivate it here. This will remove the sign-up form for your newsletter.

Archive

Here you can view a list of all the newsletters you sent, as well as statistics for each of them.

Bounces

If a newsletter failed to be delivered to a certain recipient (e.g. because the recipient's e-mail address is invalid), it will be documented here. You can also remove unreachable addresses from the recipient list.

Page title

This is where you can change the text displayed in the headline of your browser.

Page title

This text will be visible on each of your pages.

Homepage title

This text will only be visible in the home section of your page (the part that visitors see first when they visit your website). If you leave this box empty, the default page title will be used.

Meta tags

What is a meta tag?

Meta tags are (hidden) HTML elements on a website, and they contain information about that particular website. Meta tags could also be considered "keywords" that describe the website's contents. Even though this information is part of the website, it is invisible to its users.

Meta tags are still being used by search engines, in order to accurately categorize websites. In the past, meta tags were reckoned a "secret weapon" that should help websites to be listed as high as possible in the search engines, but meanwhile the text content is what they primarily concentrate on (the content that is actually visible by users), while meta tags are largely being ignored.

Adding meta tags

You can add meta tags that appear on all your pages or on individual ones only. Either way, you need to enter a content summary (short, but full sentence) and one or more page keywords (separated by commas).

head section

If you have HTML experience and want to edit the head section of your page, you can do so here. The allowed tags are <script>, <style>, <meta> and <link>.

Insert favicon

A favicon is the little picture you can see in the top left corner or in the address bar of your browser. If you want a favicon on your Jimdo page, you can upload it here.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a complex statistics system that allows you to monitor every activity on your website. If you have a Google account, you can register for Google Analytics and receive a code snippet that you can enter here to embed it into your Jimdo page.
