Create Content
Under create content you can choose a type.
If you want to put in news or information that is not date related – e.g. it’s not an event as such - then you use story.
If you want to set up an event and it will go into the calendar then use page.
You can see who it is authored by, the date and timestamp (the only reason you would change this is if you want to switch the order things are displayed in with out using sticky)
Published means it is visible on the site. Only turn it off if you want to work on something as a draft.
In moderation queue you don’t really need at the moment so ignore it.
Promoted to front page is only for info you want to have it show on the very front home page.
Sticky at top of lists (see previous page for explanation).
Create new revision allows you to keep multiple versions of the content - only the most recent is visible to the viewers - but you can see what changes were made if you are editing it.
Finally on the right hand side there is the options for comments. If you want people to be able to enter comments under this article then read write, if not then disabled. You might go back and select read only after comments have been entered, but you don’t want any more to be added to a particular post or node.

The title is the name of the event or story.

The drop down boxes are like filing cabinet folders – where you want to put the information. You can put the information in more that one place. (E.g. If you have a children’s event coming up you can put it in Ministry Areas and Events.) The drop downs are:
 Information
 Ministry Areas
 News
 Events

In the body put your event details or main information. You can write your text directly or copy and paste from another source.
Using bold, underline and italics
These functions don’t work the same way as Word, you must add a command at the beginning and end of the text you want to highlight.
The commands are as follows:
Bold: text you want to bold
Italics: text you want to italicise
Underline: text you want to underline
If you require more than one function eg bold and underlined together use both commands. Eg. text you want to bold and underline

Under the body is a small plus sign which is for adding pictures to the main body. It will bring up a box with all the pictures in the image galleries that you can insert. Click the picture you want, make sure it is in thumbnail size (check the box on the left near the bottom) then click insert (at the bottom). See Adding pictures to image galleries for how to put more pictures here.)

If you are using page you put the date and times at the bottom of this section - start and end dates and times.

If you had created an event flyer then you could attach that at the bottom.

Once you’re ready click preview. You should be able to see what your node will look like at the top - and underneath all the options in case you want to change anything.

Once you are happy with it click submit.

Making changes or deleting information
If you want to change any information after a node is finished, click on the title of that node. It will then appear with four options at the top:
view, edit, revisions, track. Click edit and make changes as necessary.

To delete follow the steps above, but instead of making changes, click delete at the bottom of the page. As a check it will then ask you to click delete again, as once it’s deleted it can’t be retrieved.
