Adding content

Log in to the site. If you a priveleged member or editor, you should see a link named 'create content' in the navigation menu underneath your username. Click this, then click on the type of page you want to add. In this example we'll add an article or story in the Magazine section. Click on the 'story' link.

You'll be presented with a form for adding an article, with a number of fields to fill in. Some of these fields are required and are indicated with a red asterisk: ***

For an article, you'll need to enter a Title and some text in the Body field.

Next, select a category for your article from the drop-down list labelled Articles. These categories are customisable, and you can even add a new category whilst editing your story: see the tutorial on Managing categories and creating categories on the fly.

You can use images is your article: see the tutorial on Working with images in articles.

When you're done, you can preview your article, or submit it immediately. Preview will allow you to check the page as you'd see it on the site before actually posting it. Both 'Preview' and 'Submit' will do some checking on your article, and display a warning if something needs changing.

Errors and warnings

If there is a problem with your article, a warning will appear in a red box at the top of the post when you preview or submit. The warnings should be clear, and the field that contains the error will also be highlighted in red:

Amend your field, and click the Preview button to re-check your article.

Bible references

The site will filter any bible references in your text, and create a link to the passage on the online bible on Bible Gateway.

For example:

>"A man can receive only what is given him from heaven."
John 3:27

will produce:

>"A man can receive only what is given him from heaven." John 3:27
