The Bealt site is part historical record of our lives and name and part living history of the present.

Text, pictures, video and sound can be added to the site either as:

• A post, which will usually be a relatively brief record of what you are currently doing
• A page is more a historical record of our lives and name. Both posts and pages can be edited and deleted at all times.
• The site is a closed site in that no one can add content to the site without becoming and member’s can only be registered by David.

How to add content as posts and pages

1. Log in. Click on the “Log in” button in the bottom left hand corner of the home page.

• To log out at any time, click on your name in the top right hand corner (visible at all times), and click “Log out”
• Once logged in you will be taken to the home page where you can view pages and posts from anyone who has contributed.

 

How to post

Text

• Click on Bealt in the top left hand corner, this will take you to the dashboard from where you can add content
• Ignore WordPress News. These are software development announcements and don’t really concern users
• Roll the curser over posts and click on “Add new”
• The curser will automatically go to the title bar where you add a title for your post
• In the big text box below, this is where you add more detail to expand upon you title
• On the right hand side under “categories” tick the “news” box.
• If your are happy with the post, click publish and that’s you on the homepage under the section “news”

Pictures

• To add a picture you first need to add the image to the site’s library
• Roll the curser over “media” and click on “add new” and click on “select new”
• Select the image you want from the file where the image is stored (usually on your computer or memory stick)
• Watch the image upload and then you can edit the image – add a heading/text – by clicking on edit then update
• The image can then be viewed if you click on “library” after placing the curser on “media”
• To add the image to a post, go to “posts/add new/add media/media library/click on the image you want to include/insert into post
• You can then add text around the image then / click “news” in categories and then publish

How add content to a page

Adding content to an existing page

• Roll the cursor over “pages” on the left hand side of the dashboard.
• “all pages” allows you to view, edit and add content to an existing page. This is where you would copy text into a pre prepared document, like Jutland.
• Click on the existing page you would like to edit and then follow the same guidance detailed in posts.
• Before publishing the changes you can preview the changes by clicking “preview”. If you then like the changes, click “publish”

Creating a new page

• Can I suggest that we do not add any new pages without consultation with Dad first just to make sure he’s happy with the design
• For the time being, I’ll then add or edit the pages
