Weebly > Get Going > Step 2 - Editor Intro
Finally -- We made it to our own website!
The first time you come to this will be as you are completing the sign up process.
This is called the "Editor" or "Editor View". This is where you will "edit" your website. The word editor is in the URL if ever any question what this view is called
Bottom Right - Guided Help
The guided help thingy in the lower right should only show up when you create a new website. I've never used it so I don't know how good it is. To close it click the X in the bottom right.

Top Left - X
In the top left is an X -- click on that and you will be taken to what I call the Mangement Console for your weebly account. THIS IS VERY UNINTUITIVE... MOST WOULD THINK THIS MEANS YOU WANT TO LOG OUT AND IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT -- A LEFT ARROW OR A WORD SAYING "To Admin" would be much better. (Hey Weebly -Regarding that X, you know this is an overlay that is closing -- your users don't understand that...)
Top Center -- Editor Menu Options
Often times these will change the contents in the black bar on the left. Sometimes they present an entirely new screen that "overlays" the editor. The BUILD menu item is currently selected. If you look closely there is a black box around the word BUILD to tell you where you are. It's very subtle.
Top Right -- Publish Button
This button copies all your latest files from your working directory to your live website directory, so any changes since you last published "go live" when this button is clicked.

At this point, pretend you hit the X in the upper right corner and you are going to the admin console now... Take me to Weebly > Get Going > Step 3 - Admin Console
