User Guide

Below is a quick introduction to using this blog.

Writing a New Post

Once you are logged in and within the administration area, click on the ‘Write’ tab. Alternatively, you can simply click here and be taken directly to that page.

Fill in a title and some content. To the right of these fields is a stack of blue toolbars. Find the one labeled ‘Categories’ (You may need to click the + next to it to expand). Check or uncheck the categories that the new post will reside within.

Sometimes you may want to restrict commenting on a post or perhaps password protect it. These options are available by clicking ‘Discussion’ or ‘Post Password’ in the blue boxes to the right of the post area (underneath Categories).

Once you have finished writing your post, click ‘Publish.’ This will save the new post and make it viewable on the blog. Alternatively, you may click ‘Save’ to save the post, but not to publish. This is useful for writing drafts.
