How to Post an Article

You have to be approved as a contributor to post articles on the TCX Staff Blog. That means, you are a former employee of TCX, current staff member or trustee or an affiliate.

To post articles, log in first. You should be taken to the “site admin” page.

You can also get there by clicking on the “site admin” link on the home page.

Next, click on the “Write” tab. That page will have two tools on it. There is a window where you type the title of your article. Please provide a title. Then you can type your article in the window just below the title space.

When you are done, click on the Publish button, and that’s it! You can save it as a draft and come back later to finish and publish. To do that, just hit the Save button, and log out.

Inserting photos is a little more complicated. In the lower section of the Write page, there is a file upload tool. After you have uploaded the picture (try to use small file sizes), you can drag and drop it into the article window, or you can use it’s URL. The URL is the web address where the photo is stored. Control-click (on a Mac) or right click on a PC will bring up a menu where you can select “copy address”. Then use the insert picture button on the article window and paste in its URL.

Don’t let it frustrate you. If you are having trouble, simply upload the file and I will do the rest for you. You can also email me the picture and ask that it be placed in your article. I will have detailed instructions for you on another page when I can get to it.

Have fun! And keep those entries coming!
