You can add a new article (‘post’) using WordPress’s authoring page.  Go there now →

How to write an article

• Enter a title in the box at the top.
• Choose a category (topic) for the article from the panel on the right.
• Type the article into the large box under the title (incidentally if you use Firefox, it will check your spelling for you as you go).
• Format the text by selecting it and using the buttons above the text. For more control over your text (e.g. indenting, headlines etc) click on the last icon above the text for more buttons.
• Click ‘Publish’ when you’re done.

How to add an event to the calendar

• Write an article as above, but don’t put it in a category.
• Set the start date/time (and end date/time, if required) by clicking the ‘+’ in the box marked ‘Event Editor’ towards the bottom of the form.

How to add a picture

• Click where you want the picture to appear (if you want the text to wrap around the picture, click at the beginning of the line where the top of the picture should appear).
• Click the ‘Add an image’ button, the first one to the right of Upload/Insert which looks a bit like a TV or picture frame.
• In the From Computer tab click the button to choose the picture file to upload. Please make sure the image is not huge before you upload – use an image editing program to make it at most a few hundred pixels across.
• Choose various settings, e.g. to position the picture relative to  the text.
• Click ‘Insert into post’.

How to add a file attachment

• Click where you want the link to the attachment to appear. For most common files this will include an icon before any text you specify. Often you’ll want it on a line on its own.
• Upload the file, just like a picture.
• The ‘Title’ is what will appear as the linked text after the file icon that the reader will choose to open the file.
• Make sure ‘Link URL’ is filled in. Usually you’ll want to click ‘File URL’ to link the inserted text to the file you just uploaded.
• Click ‘Insert into post’.

How to insert a link to another page

• Select the text you want to be linked to another page.
• Click the ‘Insert Link’ button – the chain link icon.
• Paste the full URL of the page you want to link to into the box, including the ‘http://’ bit (and use the full URL even if it is a link to a page within the AXREGEN site). You can copy the URL of a page from your browser’s address bar and paste it into this form.
• You won’t normally need to fill in anything else.
• Click ‘Insert’.
