Best way to learn how to use Concrete5 Version 5.6.3.4 ?
Permalink
I have little to no knowledge of website building and management.
I have been put in charge of maintaining and updating my office's website.
Can any suggest how I can learn Concrete5 version 5 and/or if I should look into updating to the latest version?
Thanks for any help.

Right now I'm trying to get a grasp of working with "Edit Content" in a block that has already been created. Getting the correct font, font color, size and spacing is not as easy as I would have thought. Just because it looks correct before I press "save" doesn't mean it will look that way after I "save" the work. The person before me has an arrow sign in the block so every time I hit the return key it adds this arrow sign to the line. I don't even know how he added the arrow sign. It's looks like a bullet in the Edit Content window, but after it's Saved it becomes the arrow. Very frustrating that what looks to be a simple text editor doesn't act so simple. I've attached two images to help explain. See how things look different in Edit Content page vs the actual web?
Thanks for your time & help.

The 2 things are separate entities, and treated by a different set of 'rules'.
The content you see in the edit window is basically like a word processor. It uses very basic formatting such as you'd expect to see in e.g. MS Word. When you then save that and you then see the content on the Front-end website, it then has CSS rules being applied to it, which is why it's visual styling is completely different. Things like the arrow will likely be being applied via the CSS file which is going to be in your 'Theme' directory.
Are you familiar with what CSS is, and how it is applied to HTML? Knowing that will help in pointing you in the best direction from here.

There are quite a few videos by the core team on youtube. Search by concrete5, If you forget the 5 you'll get a lot of cool construction videos.
I wouldn't upgrade until you are able to backup the database and restore it should anything fail. Also, the forums here are a good resource if you get lost.
