We assume some of you are not familiar with adding information to Blogs. Here are some helpful tips.
Using the Editor
- Once you are Registered and Logged in you will see your admin screen.
- First thing to do is click Posts on the left side and then Add New. The cursor should now be flashing in the Title area of your editor. Give your entry a Title. Type up the information you want in the body area. You can copy and paste into our online editor from Microsoft Word or other text editors.
- In the body area you can also insert a photo. It might be easier to copy and paste your photo from a website like MySpace, Facebook, Photobucket, Flickr etc. Alternately, you can upload your own image using the Media area. The URL will be available so you can paste it into your Post.
- Next, make sure you check one of the Categories to the Right like Army, Air Force etc.
- Next, look to the Right again and see where you can Add Tags. Tags are the modern replacement for Keywords. Seperate tags by a comma. Here is an example of what to put in: Air Force,193rd,Special Operations Wing,John Smith,Vietnam,Captain etc.
- There are other areas that you can fill out but they are completely optional.
- Click Publish or Submit for Approval (depending on your authorization level). If you have Publish available it will go live to the web! If you need approval we will review as soon as possible.
Password Changes
- The system allows you to change your password after you login. The automated email password that is sent to you is very secure. We suggest you keep it or use one that is very secure.
- You can download a program called Robofrom that stores up to 10 passwords free. All you need to remember is one password. It integrates with most browsers. After 10 passwords are stored you need to buy it. Last time we checked it was $29. There are two versions. One for your computer and another that is mobile by using a Flash Drive. It is a very nice tool and more secure than browser based password retainers.
