Basic Instructions
- Decide whether you want to create a post or a page. A post will appear on the front page and will cycle towards the bottom as new posts are created. They are part of the blog. Pages are used for static content such as instructions
- Creation of a post or page is very simple. Information can be copied and pasted from other sources (word docs, sometimes pdfs,) or typed directly to the screen. The boxes or symbols that you see are similar to those used in Microsoft, Libre or OpenOffice. Before creating either a post or page look to see whether the tab on the upper right side is Visual.
- When arrow is moved to the far right you should see a series of menu items, take a look at screen options at far top. Set the boxes that you want to see. If “excerpt” is not checked, check it now. You will need it later.
- In order to maintain a sense of continuity when creating a post or page.
- Activate the page counter
- Set the category for the committee, Transportation, PARC, ZAP. If these are meeting notes, set the category for meeting. This is important so that the category captures the post and inserts automatically under minutes/notes
- Set a featured image if this is a post
- Create an excerpt if this is a post
