Posting an Article on an ITBHU.org Site

This example is for posting the minutes of a chapter meeting on the chapter's site. Note that our content management system may use the term blog at many places. For our purpose it is synonymous to one of the ITBHU.org websites such as this Chapters FAQ site, the From the Institute site, the site for your chapter, etc.

These instructions can be used for posting an article to any other ITBHU.org site under one of the categories defined for that chapter.

  1. Login to the content management system at http://www.itbhu.org/cgi-bin/mt.cgi with the username and password you were assigned as an author.
  2. If you have author privileges to multiple ITBHU.org sites, the first screen lists all of them. Click on the link for your chapter, something like ITBHU.ORG: Your Chapter Name.
  3. Click on "New Entry" in top left menu.
  4. For Title, type the title of the article such as Nov 11, 2003 Chapter Meeting Minutes.
  5. For the Primary Category, pull down to a category name such as Announcements.
  6. In Entry Body, type in the text of the minutes of your meeting. For a new paragraph, simply enter an empty line. You don't have to type any HTML. You may freely do so if you wish to further embellish the presentation. Licensed versions of the software, when we get it after raising enough funds, would allow for entering WYSIWYG content like most other HTML editors.
  7. Scroll down on the form and click SAVE.
That is it! Your entry is visible on the site at its proper place immediately. You may have to reload the site to make sure your browser refreshes if the site is cached.
