To clear Account details:
• Go to Tools>Options and click Clear Account Details shown from the
General option. This will clear the stored login details for Serif Web
Resources so that automatic login will no longer work. Details will need
to be entered next time so be sure you've remembered your password.
To access Web Resources:
1. Click the
Smart Object Tool button on the Web Objects toolbar.
2. At the login prompt enter your username and your password. Select
Remember account details to access Web Resources directly in future
(bypassing the login screen).
3. Click the Login button. The Smart Objects dialog is displayed.
Creating Smart Objects
Think of a Smart Object as being a general term for elements that you'll use on
your page—as discussed previously. The actual creation of such an object is
quite painless. Smart Objects are not added directly to the page from Serif
Web Resources, but are first added to your own object library (the library lets
you manage and edit each object)—objects can then be added to the web page
immediately or at a later date.
To add an object to the library:
1. Select the New... button at the bottom of the My Smart Objects Library
pane.
2. In the Create Smart Object dialog, use the scroll bar to navigate the list
of Smart Objects, hover over an object of interest and click.
3. Select OK.
4. Depending on the type of object selected, a different Create dialog will be
displayed. For example, creating a Blog will show a Create New Blog
dialog. This reflects the difference in each object's characteristics.
5. Change the Name of the object and optionally a Filter Offsite string (this
prevents the URL from being copied). Optionally, change the object
specific settings, e.g. for some objects you can also set the titling, colours
(for body, text and border), and border thickness if appropriate.
6. Click OK.
The named object will be shown in a list in the My Smart Objects left-hand
pane, e.g.
