Step 1 - Admin Log In

Log into your admin control panel and enter the user name and password.

Step 2 - Add Article

Look for the “Add Article” button.  After you have logged into the admin control panel, click this button to be taken to the article composition screen.



Step 3 - Article Title

On the article composition screen, start by entering the title to your article at the top. There is also a location for an “alias”, or alternate title. The alias is purely optional and will not be seen on the web site, but it does help with more refined search results. You should also use the two pull down menus to select the section and category that the article belongs to.



Step 4 - Intro Text

Type the introduction text that starts the article. After the article is finished, this intro text will be displayed on the web site, along with a “Read More” button that takes visitors to the full article. So make your intro text a short summary or overview of the article. Many people like to simply use the first paragraph of the article.
 

Step 5 - Read More

After you have entered your intro text, scroll down and click the button marked “Read More”. You will now see a red line appear under the intro text. This marks where the “read more” cut off point is located.
 

Step 6 - Meta Data

Click on the box that says “Metadata Information” to open the area where you type your metatags. This area allows you to write a description about the article, as well as a place to list keyword tags. This step is also optional, but will help you obtain better search engine ranking for the subject you are writing about.



Step 7 - Save Article

Click the save button at the top of the screen. Once you click this button, the article will be published to your web site.



Step 9 - Article Manager

If you ever need to make changes to your article, you can do so by way of the Article Manager. You can get to the Article Manager by clicking the article manager button on the main screen of the admin control panel.
