Site Management
| 
There are different ways in which you may interact with this web site.
Anyone can fill in the Email Comment form (under the "Home" menu item). Although aimed mainly at those wishing to comment on the canal basin that form may be used also for any general comment.
Anyone, once registered, may submit an article for publication. See the "Register to Submit Article" menu item under "Site". Once registered and logged in an additional menu item "Submit an Article" will appear. Click this and a form for typing in text will appear. You can copy paste text into these forms from an existing document. This process sets the user up as a "Registered" user.
There are also site users who are promoted to higher user levels of "Author" or "Publisher" who are able to edit the site and also determine what submitted articles will be "Published".

This article gives basic information for this site. There are many web sites giving excellent tutorials for using Joomla.

On the every article page, now you are logged in, is an Edit Icon that looks like this
Click on this and an editing page will appear.

Save the Article and it should appear on the Practice Page.
Lesson (3) Editing Existing Articles
The same procedure applies to edit any other article on any page on the site.
You could start by editing the Article on the Home page or the Practice Page
Lesson (4) Adding New Articles
This is the same as (2) but you need to make sure you make the article appear in the right place by assigning the right “Category”
Categories are linked to pages and menus. Some examples are
“Front Page” >> go automatically on the Home Page
“Meeting Minutes” >> go automatically on the Meeting Minutes Page
"Boat Rally" >> go automatically to the Boat Rally Page
“Site Management” >> go automatically on the Site Management Page
“Practice Page” >> go automatically on the Practice Page
"UnCategorized " articles go to the "Uncategorized Articles" page.
(Useful if you forget to set the right Category)
