Creating a Post Tutorial

Sep 2nd, 2010 | By Doug Fuller | Category: Tutorials
Go to summerassembly.org and click on the “Log in” link.

Type in your username and password and click the “Log in” button.
You’ll be back on the front page – click the “Site admin” button.
This will get you to the backend Dashboard. Click “New Post” in the upper right corner.

Enter a Title and paste in content in the box below the editing icons.

Very important! You must pick a category – check a box from the list on the right side of the page.

Scroll down the page and look to the left side, click the drop down arrow and select yourself from the list of authors.

Scroll back up to the right and click the “Publish” button. That’s it!

Here’s how to enter a picture. Once you have your text in place, click so the cursor is blinking at the spot you want the picture. 

Now click on the little box just to the right of the word “Insert”

You’ll see this box – Click the select files button

That will open a search box on your computer – something like this
Find your picture, click on it and click the Open button
Now you’ll see this – (well, you won’t see this exactly, unless you have the same picture that I do)
Scroll down (use the scroll bar on the right, until you see this -
Click the “Insert into Post“  button

Then go back and preview your new page and publish it if you so desire.



More CRYSTAL NEWS

Feb 10th, 2009 | By Jay Burt | Category: Jay's Corner, Uncategorized

Just a quick note, covering the things that I forgot to mention in yesterday’s CRYSTALNEWS.  Saturday snowshoeing at the Land Conservancy dune in Elberta.  9 AM.  Also the Good folks at Dinghy’s are hosting a buffet fund raiser and silent auction Tuesday, starting at 5.  I’ve seen some of the auction stuff and it looks good… (Dinghys buffets are always a treat….)

For today’s picture, I was out looking for my pier group but couldn’t locate them….so took the picture instead

be well,  Jay

email test

Nov 12th, 2008 | By CSA Webmaster | Category: Uncategorized

test content from an email. This could be used for Jay’s Corner or any other article. the only problem (currently) is that the email posting can only be assigned to a single category. There is a way to distinguish which category your email will post to, but that involves knowing the correct category number and knowing the correct syntax to place in the subject line of the email. For now, email posting is limited to Jay’s Corner only.  Proper tutorials will be put in place to remedy this situation.

Testing a second paragraph here. Last test struggled with multiple paragraphs and placed the equals sign at the end of each line of text. Not sure if it was because of the copy and paste I did, or if it is an email posting issue.

Here is a third paragraph just to be sure that the email posting is working correctly. There is still the problem of making the website automatically download the email post from webmail, but I think I can add a simple script to the page so that any time a page is reloaded, from any browser, the site checks it’s email account for any new email posts.

Unless a great number of authors plan to update their portion of the site via email, this feature should probably be limited to authors that do not wish to learn the new posting system or those authors who plan to make a lot of updates via blackberry. iPhone users will be able to install the wordpress app which allows them to easily access an iPhone version of the author’s dashboard.

End transmission.
