News Items

NOTE: Page Edit mode should always be turned off when adding or editing news items.

Step 1.

Once you have logged in, navigate to the News section on your website.

Step 2.

To begin adding a new news item, click the 'Add Item' button.

Step 3.

Once you click on the add item button, you'll be redirected to an edit page in your browser.

You'll now be able to add in your news information.

  • Give your article a concise but descriptive title (remember it should make sense out of context)
  • Set the date and time you would like your article to go live
  • If you have one, upload a suitable picture to accompany the article - remember you must have permission to use the image
  • Add the main text of your article into the Body area
    • Remember, you can use the Paste from Word or Paste as Plain Text options if you're bringing in text from elsewhere
  • If required, upload an Attachment for your article (e.g. a document, pdf etc.)
  • Add the relevant Tags to your article, separated by commas
    • Apart from giving users an easy way to find related content, tags define where on the site, in addition to the main news page, the article is displayed e.g. any articles tagged Archery will appear on the Archery page.
  • If required, add a link where people can get more information
    • Link to Page allows you to choose a page on your website
    • External Website allows you to link people to a third-party website - remember to test your link using the Go button
Step 4.

After completing the details for your news article, scroll down to the bottom and select 'Save' to finalise the changes.

Step 5.

You'll then see your news article appear on the website. (In this case, you do not need to 'Approve' anything. The news article has already been published to your site.)
