Welcome everyone! This is the family blog, where we can all post ramblings about anything we’d like – our lives, travel, recipes, etc. And we can all read them and/or add our comments!
You can easily post by clicking on “create post” in the “Options” menu on the right side of the screen. That will take you to a new screen where you can just type in the big empty box below the “Quicktags.” On the right side, you will see options under “Categories”. You can check any and all categories you would like your posting to appear under. Then click the “Publish” button. That’s it!
Once you’re done publishing, you can click “View Site” in the menu bar at the top, and it will take you back to the main page, and you should see your new post.
One reason to use the categories is that we can later search for postings by category, so if someone just wants to see all the recipes, they just have to click “recipes” on the main page, and all the recipe postings will appear.
Everyone has the ability to add categories as well. Just click on the name “Categories” (either on main page or posting page) and you will go to a page where you can add a category. That page is pretty self-explanatory, but, as always, if anyone has questions, email Mike.
Unfortunately, our photo gallery is only a link right now, meaning no one else can upload photos to the site – but you can view it! Mike’s working on making our photo gallery accessible to everyone for posting photos.
We believe you CAN upload photos directly to the blog, and it will appear as part of your post. There’s an “upload” button in the top menu of the posting page, but we haven’t investigated it yet. Feel free to play around with it!
That’s it for now. We hope to be reading all of you soon!
