Spelling

Members of the WOW team have decided that there should be some conformity as to the spelling of certain 'webring' related words and how they are used, when editors are adding content to their WOW website page/s:

Welcome

All admins, sub-admins, and page admins are welcome to start adding content, just pick a page (or two) and go for it. Our priority at the moment is getting the pages filled, as you may have noticed most are empty right now, which is not good, so we have got some quick work to do.

Please change the editor name on the page/s you would like to look after, that way everyone else will know that they have been claimed, do not forget that you need to manually change the date under your name each time that you update your content.

Please be realistic about the number of pages you are managing, only add your moniker if you are 100% committed to managing those pages, and updating them as others make suggestions in the WOW mailing list. To ensure that everyone has a fair chance of contributing to the WOW project, please limit your selection to a maximum of 2 or 3 pages for now.

The sooner the content is added to a page, the stronger your claim as editor for that page will be asserted. If you leave a page empty, half-finished, or not updated as others make suggestions, then it will be passed on to someone else who can more actively manage the content of that page.

All admins, and sub-admins who have access to all the content, will only edit pages that they manage, unless requested by the page admin for the specific page he or she manages. If you want to contribute something to a page, point out a typo, or dispute something said or alleged on that page, then please either send your fellow WOW member a private message, and/or post a message on the WOW mailing list.

How to Add Content

If the content item is already listed in the menu, and the page linked to it has already been created:

1. You would first log in to the WOW website.

2. Depending on what permissions you have been granted by the team leaders, once logged in you would see the word 'Edit' next to the word 'Menu' at the top of the WOW menu. If not, then you have only permission to edit a specific page, and must then go to that page to edit it.

1. If you see the word 'Edit' next to the word 'Menu', click on it, then click 'View Content Items', and then click 'Edit' next to the name of the page which you wish to edit. You would then click 'Select All' in your text/html editor, click 'Copy', and then in the box area 'Content Text' you would click 'Paste'. Finally you would click 'Update Content Item'.

2. If you do not see the word 'Edit' next to the word 'Menu', go to the specific page you manage and click 'Edit'. You would then click 'Select All' in your text/html editor, click 'Copy', and then in the box area 'Content Text' you would click 'Paste'. Finally you would click 'Update Content Item'.

Note: When creating content in your text/html editor, you can use any html tags and/or style attributes (style="    ")! You can also refer to the WOW website's CSS Style Guide, and use any of the style attributes listed within (class="    ").

If the content item is not listed in the menu, and the page linked to it has not been created:

1. If you are a page admin, please contact one of the admins or sub-admins, and ask that they set things up for you.
2. If you are a sub-admin, and wish to setup a new menu item and page, then please follow these steps:

1. You would first log in to the WOW website, and then click
   'Edit' next to 'Menu' at the top of the WOW menu.
2. You should now find yourself on the 'View Menus' page, if not click 'View Menus'.
   Proceed to the bottom of that page where you see 'Add Menu'.
   Enter the 'Menu Name'.
   For 'Menu URL' select 'Custom URL'.
   For 'Parent Menu' select 'Top Level'
   (If a sub-menu item, select the name of the top level menu item that it belongs under).
   For 'CE Menu Block' select 'All CE Menu Blocks'.
   Enable 'Active'.
   Click 'Update Menu Item'.
   To position your new menu item within the menu tree, select 'Up' or 'Down'
   next to the name of your new menu item, as listed on the 'View Menus' page.
3. Click 'View Content Items' at the top of the page, under the title 'Content Express'.
   Proceed to the bottom of the 'View Content Items' page, where you see 'Add Content Item'.
   Enter your 'Content Title' and your 'Content Text'.
   For 'Parent Content' select 'Top Level'.
   For 'Attach To Menu' select the new menu item you just created.
   Ignore the media stuff, and enable 'Enable Content Title', and 'Active'.
   Click 'Update Content Item'.

WOW ToDo List

All WOW editors will use the ToDo list. This will allow all WOW members to verify at a glance how the WOW project is advancing, what areas/pages need work, what areas/pages have been completed, and so on.

Okay, so you are a editor for a certain page or pages, and you now wish to setup your task and/or update it as work progresses??

1. First log in with your ToDo List name and Password. If you do not have a ToDo List name or password, please contact a admin or sub-admin, and ask that they sign you up. They will provide you with a temporary name and password.

2. When logged in for the first time, click the wrench icon, located at the top of the page and update your info, including your choice of password.

3. To add a new task, click the icon of a sheet of paper with the folded corner, located at the top of the page, this will take you to the bottom of the list page, where you are asked to enter the info concerning your new task. When finished click 'submit'.

4. To update your task, simply click on the underlined comments in the 'Text' column of the task you wish to edit, and/or update. When finished click 'submit'(Do not forget to set a time limit for your task that is realistic for you, and one which you are comfortable with).
