HMGS / Pacific Southwest

To post an article here you must be a current (paid) member of HMGS/PSW or obtain permission from the Webmaster of the site.

To post here you must be a member of the site and register. To “register” simply scroll down the right hand column of the opening or “Home” page and click the “register” button, this opens a page where you pick a screen name and pass word that will be used to log in in on the site anytime you want to post or comment. Pleas pick a name that others including me will recognize as that makes comments and posting more relevant as well as letting the webmaster know you aren’t a “spammer”

Re-vist the page and log in useing the log in button, you will have a button appear in the same area (lower right) that says “dashboard” clicking this button will open the “dashboard” that contains all the tools for posting articles such as a word processor, and button used to insert pictures, video, sound, hyperlinks, ect…

Word Press has just upgraded their posting process and Posting is easier than ever! You can now expand the writing area and drag and drop photos and other media from another program directly into wordpress!

You may preview your “post” before publishing it or even save it as a draft and work on it over a period before publishing using buttons found on the right.

Don’t forget to “categorize” you post by selecting appropriate categories to link to. Your post’s subject might fit into one or more categories such as HMGS/PSW news, conventions, painting, wargaming, terrain, etc… the program will the group you article accordingly so once it is archived after one month on the front page readers can still look at it by clicking on the topic it is linked to.

When you first register you permission level will be set to “Author” as I see you are not a spammer and are learning the site your permission level may be raised to allow even more access to different way to ad to the site.

If you have any problem please just call or email me.

This page will be updated as we go along learning “wordpress” together.
