Using Editing Interface: Adding A New Entry
Whenever you're in the Editing Interface, you'll see a button called "New Entry" prominently displayed in the top of the interface:
Pushing that button will bring up a new entry, filled with fields for you to fill in. For example, if you've created a CrimsonBlog, you'll see only an Entry field for your weblog entry. If you've created a CrimsonZine, you'll see several fields: a Title Field, an Author Field, an Entry field, etc.
Go ahead and fill in all the fields you'd like to. One of the fields may be the WebCrimson WYSIWYG editor. We've written up detailed documentation on how to use that editor here.
Submitting the Entry
Whenever you're done writing your new entry, it's time to submit the entry to the WebCrimson Database.
When that time comes, you'll have a choice between pushing three different buttons on the bottom of your page:
|
Save - saves your most recent changes to the WebCrimson database, but does not publish them to your website
Publish - saves your most recent changes and submits the latest file for publication to your website
Cancel - returns you to your database, without saving your most recent changes |
If you're don't with your Entry and would like it to go live, go ahead and hit Publish. If you're still working away on it, you probably want to hit Save.
Here's a good way to think about Save versus Publish. Think of each entry having a toggle: Draft or Publish.
- Saving an entry will leave that toggle at Draft. Nothing will be published.
- Publishing it will set that toggle to Publish, and submit the entry to be published.
Once you've saved or published an entry, it's in your WebCrimson database of choice.
