NHDWebCentral<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> to build our websites?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll\">If you plan to compete in an NHD contest, websites must be created in NHDWebCentral<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> (<a href=\"https:\/\/nhd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/NHDRuleBook2020Digital.pdf\">NHD Contest Rule Book<\/a>, 6.5, E2). Any websites built on other platforms will need to be rebuilt at NHDWebCentral<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> before the contest registration deadline.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h4  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-heading is-style-expandable\" ><span class=\"text\">I&#8217;m a teacher. Can I create a website?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll\">Absolutely! We encourage teachers to create accounts on our website to practice, learn, and grow alongside their students. To get started, follow the same instructions as students for creating an account. After setting up your account, you have two options: you can either create your own website or link to an existing student&#8217;s website to monitor their progress from within the website builder. You do not need an account just to view your students&#8217; projects; they can simply share the project links with you. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h4  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-heading is-style-expandable\" ><span class=\"text\">We are creating a group website. Can we use one login to all work on our website?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll\">No, each group member must have their own account. Watch <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/-7e1A44FVZw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this video<\/a> on registering as a group website. Using the same account for all group members can corrupt, overwrite, or delete your website progress.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h4  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-heading is-style-expandable\" ><span class=\"text\">How do I remove a group member?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll\">If a group member is no longer part of your website, use the <a href=\"https:\/\/website.nhd.org\/Contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact Us<\/a> form to request their removal. Make sure to include your NHD teacher&#8217;s or mentor&#8217;s name and email address.

Editing the same page simultaneously can lead to overwritten work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Save Frequently: <\/strong>Make sure to save your changes regularly to avoid losing any updates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Refresh to View Changes: <\/strong>After saving, refresh your browser to see the latest changes made by other group members.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll\">By coordinating which pages each person edits and saving your work regularly, you can ensure a smooth and collaborative editing process.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<hr  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-separator has-text-color has-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-gray-background-color has-background is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:2px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h3  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-heading\" ><span class=\"text\">Editing my Website<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h4  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-heading is-style-expandable\" ><span class=\"text\">I&#8217;ve reached the size limit; what can I do to free up space?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll\">Images, videos, and documents often have large file sizes. Before uploading, check the file size and consider compressing, cropping, or reducing resolution. You can do this using free or paid software. If you&#8217;ve already uploaded large images, delete them from your file library and replace them with smaller versions on your page(s). <em><strong>Tip: To reduce file size without losing quality, take a screenshot of high-resolution images on your computer. Screenshots maintain quality while being much smaller in size.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h4  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-heading is-style-expandable\" ><span class=\"text\">My images were there, but now they are missing; what happened?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll\">Did you clear your file library to free up space? Uploaded images must stay in the library for the website builder to display them; it can&#8217;t show the image without it in the library.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h4  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-heading is-style-expandable\" ><span class=\"text\">All of the elements in my container are aligned together, but I want everything aligned differently.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll\">This is where you can use columns to help align elements differently. Find various column options in NHDWebCentral\u00ae under<strong> Easy Layout<\/strong> in the Toolbox. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h4  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-heading is-style-expandable\" ><span class=\"text\">Can I embed videos from YouTube?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll\">No, embedded YouTube videos violate the NHD rules. Because the videos are being hosted on YouTube, they are not being counted towards the NHDWebCentral<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> size limit. However, you can download videos using free tools and then upload them to your website using the <strong>Embed MP3, MP4, PDF<\/strong> block.<\/p>\n\n<h4  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-heading is-style-expandable\" ><span class=\"text\">How do I fix the &#8220;null&#8221; message on my website page?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"appear-on-scroll\">If you see a &#8220;null&#8221; message on your page, this is a bug that the team is working to resolve. In the meantime, to delete it, click the <strong>Import<\/strong> button in the toolbar across the top of your page. From there, find the &#8220;null&#8221; text in the HTML section. Delete it. Then, save and close. From there, save and refresh your website page, and then the message will be gone. <\/p>\n\n<hr  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-separator has-text-color has-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-gray-background-color has-background is-style-wide\" \/><\/div>\n\n\n<h3  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-heading\" ><span class=\"text\">Publishing my Website<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h4  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-heading is-style-expandable\" ><span class=\"text\">How do I publish my website?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\" class=\"appear-on-scroll\">In NHDWebCentral<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, saving is the same as publishing.
