1. Login - you will need to have been granted at least publisher user permissions in order to be allowed to maintain content on this site. If you think you should be in such a position, and find you are not, then use the Contact Us button to send an message to the site administrator requesting "publisher" permissions, and a reason why......

2. Select the Administration Button in the User Menu:

3. In the Admin screens, which if you have the correct user priviledges you will now see, select from the Content Menu where you'd like to create some content, e.g. in the Did You Know section:

NOTE: at this point in time you need to know which category of documents you want to be working in.  The documents are stored in the following hierarchy:

Section /Category/item

The Site Map illustrates quite well the structure of the documents in the site as shown below where the top level is the section title, and the sub levels are categories, i.e. You can see that "Current Priorities" are a category of "Content", so if you are working on Current Priority documents you need to approach the content Menu selecting the "Content" link and then Content Items:

4. Here you can perform maintance operations such as edit, unpublish, delete, re-order the items... oh and the all important CREATE, using the NEW button. Assuming that you are slightly computer literate I think the delete, re-order, publish and un publish operations should need no further description. If you disagree - edit this document... ;)

5. You have selected "NEW" and will now see the New document page, in which you can add the details and content of your new item.  Also please note that you will need to select which Category the item in this Section belongs.  In the example below, based on the decision in step 2 the section is "Did You Know?" and the Category is "Short Histories of West Ealing".  Once you have finished adding your content hit the Save button at the top of the page.

Best practice hint: Although it is perfectly fine to add content directly using this item creation page. Every now and then there could be a potential system glitch and you could loose your edits. So good practice would be to either create the content offline in some other word processor and cut and paste the content in. Or hit save periodically and then re-open the item for editting from the content items page - shown on step 2.

6.  Your document has not yet been published, in order to complete the publishing of the new content once you are happy with it, or it has been reviewed by others... use the content items page as illustrated in the screen shot below:

That's it - all done!

Well almost - if you want the ITEM to appear on the top page, e.g as circled below:

In the Admin view of the Section you need to click the item title, and then select the PUBLISH tab and select YES to Show on front page - then save, as shown below:

To control the order of a document in the frontpage, and in category listings you need to use the  - re-order option from the Admin view, as shown below:

Note: In order for an item to be above another item it has to have a higher number than any other item in the front page. As items are derived from more than one Content store it is not necessarilly enough for that item to be above all items in that store.  e.g. if a News item has a higher order number than a Content Item it will appear above it in the frontpage.  So beware that the number needs to be higher than any other number in any other document series.
