I am in the process of bringing all of my articles into this new program for my site. In doing so, I am finding that there are several of the pages I simply won't be able to bring into this software due to the complex nature of the formating. I have "mini" albums of 26-32 pages of information. The first page contains a thumbnail of all of the photos, then when you click onto one of the photos, it takes you to a page that has the information about that photo and tutorial information.
An example of what I am talking about is listed below:
http://www.pagesoftheheart.net/tutorials/ABC/fav/index.php
Also, I have several pages on PDF that I would like to be able to "upload" and have the user be able to view.
So far the only resolution I can figure out is to url link to those pages, however, that is disappointing, because I am afraid the user will believe that they are linking outside of my site. (Go to website)
The ability to do something like this would be AWESOME!

Hi Lisalee :)
Thanks for your post. :)
You're right in that Article Manager isn't really designed to have pages in the layout that you're hoping for. One thing that you could do is something like this:
1. Create each of the individual pages and take note of the URL for each one.
2. Create one more article that links to all of the sub-pages in that section. (You may want to create a sub-category for each project if you don't have too many of them.) Then, in this new article, link to all of the 'inside' articles.
A couple of caveats:
- It's a little annoying to have to link to each of the 26 pages.
- Article Manager only allows 25 images per article, so if you had 26 like the page you referenced, you're going to have to upload at least one of them separately outside of the article.. or, upload it in another article and link to the image directly.
As for uploading PDF's, one of the options in Article Manager is an uploaded file -- this is different from the external website article type. What you would do is create a new article and select "Uploaded File" as the article type. Then choose the file you want to upload in the field next to the article type. Now, just fill in a summary, title, category and all the other required details and you're off and running. :)
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. :)
