A. LOG IN
- Log-In Link for WHC site. (information on becoming a contributor is in Part C below)
B. PRINTING FROM WHC
Click the LINK to the desired document. This may state “click here” or it may state something related to the actual document such as “copy of the agenda for download and printing here”.
All links will be in a different color and will be underlined when scrolled over by your mouse arrow.
If you click on the link and the document does not appear, please send an email to kayh@ohawcha.org to ensure that the document was uploaded correctly.
Once the document appears on your screen, you have two primary options for printing:
Type “Control – P” at the same time. Your print menu should then appear. Click “Print” or “OK”.
Note: Depending upon your computer setting, you may click “print” and then a full-screen pdf of the document appears along with a second print menu. Just click “OK”.
Click “File” in the Google Docs toolbar. The click “Print (PDF)”.
NOTE: Do not click the File tab for your Internet browser bar, as this won’t print properly. You want the file tab located below the colorful “Google docs” logo.
C. CONTRIBUTING TO WHC WEBSITE
1. Any member of the WHC is welcome to become a contributor to the WHC site. 2. If you wish to become a contributor, email help@warmingshelter.com to request authorization. 3. Once your request has been processed, you will receive an email from “Blogger” providing simple log-in directions. Once these directions are completed, you are set to contribute.
How To Post (once granted author status)*:
1. Go to http://www.blogger.com/ (or click on Log-In button above). Log into your account.
2. This should take you to your "Dashboard", in which you'll see a display of any blogs you contribute to. Click the NEW POST button under Winnebagoland Housing Coalition.
3. You are now on the Posting Page. Complete the following:
● Add a title
● Near the top of the post box, you'll see "edit html" or "compose". For individuals looking for simple, basic posting, I recommend "compose" mode. This allows writing similar to any word processing program. The remainder of instructions are using compose.
● Type your post.
● For editing features, use the buttons just above the post box. To bold, highlight (scroll over with your mouse holding down the mouse button) what you want in bold and click B. Italics = I. Underline = U. To change font color, use the underlined A. To highlight, click the marker and down arrow button.
● Tips: Instead of adding in a long website address, use the LINK button. First, highlight the words you would like to have serve as the link. Then click the LINK button in blue from the editing bar just above the posting box. Enter the URL (web address) there, and you've created a link. RECOMMENDED: You are encouraged to include links with posts, as this helps improve the status with internet search engines making your post easy to find on the Internet.
● Pictures: To add a picture, click the small picture icon from the editing bar (to the right of LINK).
● To add a video, click the icon to the right of the picture icon and follow the steps.
● Spelling: You can spell-check using the ABC button on the far right of the bar. Note that this isn't going to catch everything. You are encouraged to proof your post before clicking Publish Post from the bottom.
● Add a Label: Below the post, you'll see a box for Labels. Click "show all" and select any appropriate labels. This is an important step that should rarely be skipped.
● Preview: You can preview your post if interested by clicking Preview below the post.
● Publish Post: Publish the post by clicking Public Post!
● Not finished? Click "Save in Progress" and come back later to finish.
4. Editing published posts: You have the ability to edit, change, add and remove content from already-published posts of yours. To do this, go to the dashboard and click on "Edit Posts". Simply click "Edit" on the post you wish to change, and change away! Don't forget to finish by clicking Publish Post.
