To create your first article, first click on "Create Article" in the blue navigation bar at the top of the interface. You'll be presented with a blank form in the Article Editor.

Start by filling out the Title field. Enter a short abstract in the Summary field and type the main body of your article into the Content field. An article cannot be saved or previewed without belonging to a Category, so make sure to select a Category from the drop-down list.

Another field which may be available to you is the Status field. If you want to be able to preview or publish your article, make sure to set it to "visible".

If your administrator has made the 'filename' field available, you'll be able to enter a unique filename for your article. For example, by typing "events", your article will be published as "events.shtml".

After you've filled in all the appropriate fields, you can save your article, preview it, or upload some images to include. Please see the next section for more information on uploading images.
