HOW TO WRITE / EDIT YOUR WEB PAGES - For Authors
1) Login to the website. Login is on the homepage and many other pages. If you do not remember your username/password, please call Barb Daugherty or Larry Wickersham.
2) Navigate to your page.
3) Click the "edit" icon, (paper/pencil to the right of the title).  if you do not see this icon, you are not logged in.
4) You should now see a full editing toolbar. This is similar to WORD, EXCEL, etc. Feel free to edit your document.
- Use the familiar icons to format and edit your page as you desire. You can also copy and paste from other programs into this editor to move and save your work from another program and make it available on your web page.
5) SAVE the file often. CANCEL will not save any changes.
6) You should log out of the site, but you will be automatically logged out after 30 minutes.
- There are three important buttons at the bottom of the edit area:
After the first sentence, perhaps two or after headline-important points,
EVERY article should have a “READ MORE” link inserted. You simply click on the ‘Read more’ button and a red line will appear at that point in your text. All the text above the red line will appear as the article lead in on a blog layout page like the main front page and automatically include a ‘read more’ button on the blog page. The redline will not show when you click on the ‘read more’ on the live webpage. This is very important. Without the red line the whole article would appear on the page and destroy the planned layout of that blog page.
- Similarly if you have a very long article and you want it to be on multiple pages instead of scrolling down to reach the bottom, you simply click on the “Pagebreak” button. A black line will appear on the edit page to indicate where the pagebreak will be. The program will automatically create navigation buttons next / previous to take you to the next page. Unwanted Pagebreaks or Read More inserts can easily be deleted to eliminate them or to recreate in another location.
- To upload pictures click on the "Image" button. You must "Upload" the file (jpg, or gif) to the web server. Click "Browse" at the bottom of the window to find the picture on your computer, click on "Start Upload". The find you newly uploaded picture in the middle section of the window and click on the “Insert” button in the upper right hand of the window. You can edit the size of the photo once it is uploaded. Photos should be low resolution / low mb to make sure they don’t take forever to upload on the live page.
- To upload pdf, doc or excel files write some text that will become the link. Highlight that text. Click the "chain link" icon. "Upload" the file to the server. Once uploaded the text you selected will now become the link to the file you uploaded.
- To link to a website, or email write some text that will become the link. Highlight that text. Click the "chain link" icon. Select "URL" or "Email" as the Link Type. Type in complete address or email.
