You will need the KASC Home page open to start with if you plan to follow the guide through - click here to open it in a new window.

Adding News

1. On the main KASC Page, Click the "Admin" option in the menu at the top right.
2. Click the link "Post Some News"
   
3. Log into the Cute News system by enterning (1)the User Name and (2)Password you were given. NB - THIS IS CASE SENSITIVE - watch out for "caps-lock". Click (3) to log in.
   
4. If login is successful, you should see a screen similar to
   
   If not, try to log in again. If you still have trouble, email me (including the user name and password you are attempting to use) at tom@keynshamswimmingclub.co.uk. If you can't use email, then try to catch me Mon's or Wed's at the pool.
   
   
5. Once logged in: - to add news click the "Add News" as indicated in the red circle above.
   
   (1)You need to enter a Title for the post eg - "Update on KASC Social Calendar" if you're going to post details about new social events.
   (2)Ignore the "Avatar" field as this is optional and not being used. It may in future but for now ignore it.
   (3)If it will be a small news post - Write the whole story in here. If it will be longer, just put a small summery. (This is not that important, as long as you write something here it doesn't matter which way you do it)
   (4)If you chose to write the whole story in the "Short Story" box then skip to step (5).
   Otherwise write in here the full story. Everything you want the user to read. This will show when the "Full Story" link is clicked - which shows up automatically with the "Short Story".
   (5)Click "Preview" to see what the post will look like - this will not show the correct colours at the moment and the text will be centered in the preview. (It will come out right on the main page so don't panic).

(6) If you are happy with the post, click the"Add News" button at the bottom of the screen where you input the news. This will publish the news and make it viewable to the world!.


Congratulations - you have just posted your first news item!
