The process of writing new entries for this weblog is actually very simple. Everything is done using a web browser, e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, etc. Drop me a mail if you would like to be an author here.
In short, the steps are:
- Log in using the username and password which I supply. You should change the password after first logging in for the first time.
- Select New entry from the menu on the left.
- Fill in the Title, Category (where available), and start typing!
- When you are done, change the Post Status to Publish.
- Always remember to Save, so that your changes are reflected on the website.
Note:
- You can keep an entry in Draft status for as long as you like – the publish date will indicate the date when you first started, although you can change that too.
- A Published entry can still be edited, although the Posted date will not change. It is possible to show the Last modified date, although I do not do that in general.
- When in doubt, click on the little ? mark on top of each of the boxes to get some help.
- Lastly, highly advisable to do a spell check before posting for the whole world to see!
