All members have posting rights to the blog page folders listed below. The title and and excerpt go onto the home page. Access to other folders can be created as needed:

• headlines (any news item or announcement)
  
• jobs (joblisting - these are only visible to members)
  
• available_writers (your name is the subject and goes under Writers for Hire at the top of the left column - this is great advertising when you are looking for work, but limited to 5 days at a time)
• events/other_organizations (summaries of events)

1 . Login. A small Hi, <username> will appear next to the elephant and in the upper left corner.

2. When your mouse reaches your name in the upper left corner a small menu opens with the list of folders that you have posting rights to.

3. Select New in/<foldername>.

4. Create the post.

• The Subject will appear on the home page. It will also be formatted as Heading 1 on the page you create.
• If you are pasting from MS Word you should use the W-clipboard tool (4th icon from top left). If you need to paste Hebrew text then you should paste directly without the W-clipboard tool.
• Use the tree tool to include pictures. You can upload or point to a URL where the picture is located. Access to pictures already on the server may be limited. Do NOT upload large graphics ! Reduce their file sizes before uploading. You can use Microsoft Office Picture Manager to crop and reduce pictures. Check out Jonathan's Tool Bar & Grill for other utilities (newer issues are at http://jonathanstoolbar.blogspot.com/).
• Use the chain link tool to create hyperlinks and upload other types of files, like MP3 sound bytes. 

5. Place the cursor where you want the excerpt on the Home page and search engines to break and click the more button (8th icon from the top left). Try and make the excerpt short so that there will be room for many items on the Home page.

6. Click the TAGS icon.

9. Click Save when you are done. Your post exists, but is not yet live.

You get a picture of what it looks like, but you are not done yet because it is only a draft and invisible to the general public.

10. Click Publish to make it live. If you are looking for work and you post to the available_writers folder then you should use "set publishing dates" and set the unpublish date for 5 days after the publish date.

Note: If your post is dated, like the announcement of an event, the set publishing dates option allows you to set an unpublish date.
