Previous site
The existing pages are still available. Not all of the data held there has yet been transferred, and many links point to it. Redirects will be in place for pages that have shifted.
Registration
All financial members are/will be automatically registered and provided with their user-id and password.
Your supplied password should be immediately changed at first login, see the “Change password” post for instructions.
Although most pages are open to all, only registered users may add comments and update their membership information.
Navigation
The site is made up of two types of pages:
- static, editable only by those with editor privileges, although some will allow comments to be appended, and
- posts, which all registered users may contribute and/or add comments to.
both of which have associated categories (general subject matter headings) and tags (keywords), which may be selected from the right hand sidebar to jump to a topic of interest.
The static pages are also accessible via the top menu system and the sitemap in the left sidebar.
Posts are also accessible from the Communications menu, starting from the Posts item.
This later only shows excerpts of each post. Clicking on the […] symbol will take you to the full formatted post.
Instructions on how to post etc may be found under several “How to” tags from the right hand tag list.
The most recent changes are listed at the top right.
If all else fails, use the Search box above the menu in the top right hand corner.
Guidelines
Email addresses should not be published, and will be removed.
Comments are not currently “moderated”, so will appear immediately you click publish.
Technical
These pages have been developed using the open source (ie free) Content Management System, WordPress (theme Suffusion).
Under the hood are a number of open source php scripts and a MySQL database.
