How do I add an article to my blog?

NOTICE: Firefox does not always function as well as Internet Explorer when utilizing certain operations that require pop-ups in the back office.

Logging in to the Blog

1. Proceed to your blog and click on the "Login" link on the page.




2. Enter the login information and click the "Log Into Backoffice!" button.




Adding An Article

1. Click the "Write" button on the top of the screen (just under the browser bar).




2. Select the correct blog to write in. (In this example: News Blog, Newsletters, or Link Blog)

NOTE: If you mistakenly post to the wrong blog, this can be edited at a later date.

2. Click the "Expert" tab.  (There are more options associated with the "Expert" settings)



3. Select the category within the blog that this posting should reside in. Always use the "Main" column.



4. Enter a "Title" for your blog entry if desired.

5. If you would like the title to link somewhere, enter the link in the "Link to url" box. (Not required)



6. Begin entering text in the open box.

7. If you wish to add an image to the page, the best way to do this is:

  • Right click over an image within any website
  • Select "Properties"
  • There will be an "Address (URL)" listed within the pop-up box. Highlight, right click, and copy the entire address from the http:// through the .gif or .jpg.
  • Click the "img" link in the blog and paste the address in the pop-up box.
  • Click OK
  • A box will pop up asking for "ALTernate text". This can be left empty, however, this is also the text that a user would see on the screen when their mouse is placed over your image. Search engines will also utilize the ALT text.
  • A "Title" box will also pop up. You can enter a title for the image here if you desire.



8. If you wish to add a link to the page, click the "link" button. A pop up will appear asking for the URL. Enter an entire web address using the "http:// "at the beginning of it.

9. Click OK.



10. Some code will appear on the page. Directly after this code, enter the text that you wish to appear as the link.

11. Click the "link" button again and the text that you just entered will be closed off with an "</a>".



12. To preview the page before saving it, select the "Preview" button at the bottom of your new post.

13. Click "Save" when you are happy with the results.

NOTE: Changes can always be made to saved postings by selecting: Posts/Comments > (choose the blog) > (select the article) > Edit
