These helps only apply to former SWO staff who are missionaries or are going to be a missionary in the future, Lord willing. Corey will often be away from the computer once he goes overseas. Please play around with the site and ask questions if you need his assistance. Registration: If you want to be represented on TEOTE.com, please email corey asap and tell him. After doing so, you have the option of using the TEOTE.com blog or your own (ie. blogspot, xanga, etc.). I recomend using the TEOTE.com blog because it doesn't have advertisements. Also, all comments must be moderated so it is impossible for spammers to advertise on your comment area. If that's how you want to do it, you must register on the blog site. Most people just use their real name or something similar. That will be less confusing for corey. Corey, as the admin, has to approve you. Please email him and let him know you've done so. Once he does that, you're ready to roll. Creating your profile: Only corey can post your profile. This is not done through your blog registration. Rather, your profile information needs to be emailed to corey. Please send corey all of the following asap: Once corey has created a profile page for you and posted it on the website, proofread it for accuracy. Sometimes dates and little things like that change. Editing your profile: Changing the information you've given for your profile is possible. Email corey with any changes that need to be made and he will gladly make those changes to your profile. Writing blog entries: Login to your blog account (Note: If corey has yet to approve you, you will not be able to login.). When you sign in, you should see a page with 4 tabs on it. "Write," "Manage," "Links," and "Profile." You will only need to mess with the first two. Be default, the "Write" tab comes up automatically when you login. In the post area type your entry. Always, always, always select the catagory with your name. IF YOU DON'T SELECT YOUR CATAGORY, THAT POST WILL NOT SHOW UP WHEN VISITORS CLICK THE LINK FROM YOUR PROFILE. Please don't forget. After that "Save" it for later editting or "Publish" it if you are done. Editing blog entries: If you want to edit your posts or forget to do something like select a catagory, you can fix it. While logged in, select the "Manage" tab. Find the entry you want to edit, and select "Edit" or "Delete," whichever you need to do. If you want to select your catagory, if you forgot, you may need to click the "+" button beside "Catagories" if the list of catagories isn't visable. Don't forget to save your changes. Moderating comments others have made to your blog entries: For a comment to appear on the blog, you must approve it. You should receive an email whenever someone posts a comment to your entry. In that email are some directions on how to approve/disapprove that comment. Ironically, THOSE DIRECTIONS DON'T WORK. In order to approve that comment and others people have left to your entries, login. Click on the "Manage" tab. Under that 5 other tabs should appear. Click on the"Awaiting Moderation (#)" tab. There you can read any comments people have made. Beware of spammers selling nasty stuff. Approve, disapprove, and mark as spam where necessary. Adding pictures to blog entries: 1) Type you entry |
