Notton Village Community

Hi, welcome to the new interactive community website!

Seems like a community website may be a good idea – particularly if you can publish your own news!

The idea is that there will be news and comment, and static information pages, which registered users can publish and anyone can read.

At least to start with, all ‘posts’ will be vetted by an administrator before publishing – hopefully an administrator for each club, society or interest group will put themselves forward.

The main part of the site shows ‘posts’ (most recent first) and ‘comments’.
On the right you can click:
- ‘pages’ for more traditional web page information on the subjects listed;
- search the website;
- browse posts in ‘categories’;
- browse posts back through monthly archives;
- register and login to post.
Anyone can register and submit a ‘post’ or ‘comment’.
Log in and use the email facility to ‘admin’ asking for more ‘rights’ if you want to publish ‘pages’.

After you have logged-in you will see the ‘dashboard’ from where you can publish and edit posts. If you want to comment on a post on the main page then click on the top left link to visit the site.

If you want to go back to the dashboard you will see the link on the right under ‘site admin’.

When uploading images, they need to be in .jpg, .gif or .png format and up to 1024 x 1024 pixels size. Click in the editing window where you want the image to appear before inserting in the draft. They can be positioned right, left or centre and have captions added before publishing.

If you want to attach a .pdf or Word document or similar click on the ‘add media’  next to ‘Upload/Insert’ above the editing window.

You can also attach/insert, sound/music or video clips but I haven’t tried this yet.
