Omeka

To set up a free Omeka account, go to omeka.net.

At the bottom of the page, click on "Get started with Omeka.net".

Then, click on "Start your free Omeka trial" and enter your information

After you have submitted your information, you will receive an email that contains a link to complete your account set-up. Once you click on the link, your Omeka account will be ready to use.

You can now login to your Omeka account by clicking on the "My Account" link on the top-right corner of omeka.net.

To add a site to your Omeka account, click on "Add a Site" under "My Sites" on your Omeka dashboard.

Next, you will be able to name your site's subdomain (i.e. [testwebpage].omeka.net) and the title of your site. Also, you can add a description of your site, but it is not required, and you can edit or change your site's title and description at any time under "Settings." Once you're done, you can click "Add Your New Site" on the bottom left side of the screen.

Once you have created your site, the domain name will be listed on the Omeka dashboard.

Click on the "Manage Site" under the domain name to begin adding and organizing content on your site.

Note: For the free version of Omeka, you are only allowed to manage one site.

Within the Appearance tab, you can customize the headings and pages that appear along the top bar of your site. After clicking Navigation, you can add or remove links and pages within the navigation system of the site. You can also set the home page of your Omeka site under the Select a Homepage setting.

However, you must first create the page on your site using Simple Pages or Exhibit Builder before adding the URL to your navigation system. Linking a URL without first creating an associated page will return an error when clicking on the navigation bar.
