>>>EDIT:  The template skin for this site has changed since I created these instructions, so the screen shots will look different.  Once the site has matured enough where people like the current template, I will update these instructions.  The steps are the same but will just look different.

You have the token.  You've taken your Kite photos.  Now what?  Tell everyone about it!  The idea behind this blog is to document your time with the token, and post pictures for all to see. There are a few requirements:

  • You must be a registered user on this portal, and be logged in.
  • Currently this blog is moderated.  I am researching if there is a way around this, but currently all posts go into a pending mode awaiting approval from a Portal Administrator.  Ideally, you'd all be able to post directly.
  • Keep your commentary and thoughts on the KAP Forum.  Let's keep this blog exclusive to the token adventures.  We do encourage that you comment on each persons posts, as there is a section below each blog entry for that. 
Step One: Assuming that you're logged into the portal and have publishing rights, click on the New Blog Entry Link in the Main Menu.  (This link will not appear if you are not logged in.)

Step 1: New Blog Entry

 

 

Step 2:  Title your blog post and add content.  You can use the WSIWYG editor to format your text, add pictures, and links.  To add an image using an external source like Flickr, click the icon that looks like a tree, and have your URL handy.    Tree Icon  (The joomla image in the example below is posted just to show you that images can be used in the post.)

Step 2:  Write Post

 

Step 3:  Click on the Settings tab.  Ensure that the Publish Status is set to Published.  Ensure that the Comments drop down is set to enabled.

 Step 3:  Settings Tab

Step 4:  Click on the Advanced Tab.  Set your metadata by filling in the description field and keywords.  Click Save to post to the blog.
