To make a newsitem, go to the place where you want to store the newsitem and then choose add new item and select newsitem.

Place to store a newsitem

For tidyness, newsitems are normally stored in the folder

http://www.camdencyclists.org.uk/newsitems/

You can get there from the Home page (by selecting contents). This folder is hidden from non logged in users who only see the Home page.

Use of Flickr

Please upload all photos in High res to the CCC Flickr site. Lionel will tell you how to login if you need to know. Flickr has a built in feature for uploading photos - you can find out how to do that from the Help on the Flickr site. We have unlimited memory on Flickr, but not a lot on the CCC website.

Links to images on Flickr

When you have uploaded the photo, select it, then choose "all sizes" and then choose "small" (if you are using lots of illustrations) or "medium" if only one or two. Under that photo you find a slot with a URL that you can use in your document or newsitem on the CCC website. e.g.

Publishing the newsitem

A newsitem will not appear in the news slot until you have published it. Do this by selecting the particular one form contents view and then selecting change state. Newsitems appear in the news slots in order of their effective date - make sure not to have an expiry date, then select publish.
