Quick Tour
Three easy steps to create a sample sitemap in 5 minutes.
Step 1: Get the site profile for a web site
- Select menu "File/ New Site Profile", or click on the
"new" button. This will bring up a dialog box titled "MagicMapper: Create
new sitemap". See Set up Proxy server if you have a
proxy server at your work place.
- Enter a URL for a web site, e.g.,
"http://www.itrend.com". Leave the "default file name" field blank.
Click on the "OK" button.
- A tree-structured view will be displayed, showing the links and
their relationships in the site.
Step 2: Edit the site profile
- Select an entry in the profile by clicking on the icon image or the description text of
the entry. You can also select several entries at once by dragging the mouse while holding
down the left button.
- Edit the entries by selecting appropriate commands in the "Edit" menu or by
clicking on appropriate buttons on the toolbar. Also, you can access most of these
commands by double clicking or by right-clicking on the entries.
Step 3: Create the sitemap
- Click on the "Map it" button, or select the "File/Generate Applet
Sitemap" menu. This brings up the window for you to create a dynamic, navigational
applet sitemap (called applet sitemap , or simply sitemap).
(You can also create a plain HTML sitemap in table-of-contents format. See Create HTML
site map for details.)
- You can customize the appearance of your sitemap, or just stay with the default setting.
When done, you can preview your map by clicking on the "Preview" button. Save
your results by clicking on the "Save" button.
End of the Quick Tour. (Did we say 5 minutes?)
To use the generated site map, copy the saved files to your web
site, and provide a link to the file "sitemap.html" in the page where the site
map is to reside. See Deliver
site map for details.
