When creating a page, Board Members have several points to keep in mind.

• The "Authoring Information" block allows you to set the node author and the date the item was authored. Generally you do not need to edit this unless you are posting old information such as minutes from a meeting 3 years ago.
• The "Options" dialog
  • Published - the information will be visible on the site
  • In Moderation Queue - this feature is not used and the box should be left blank.
  • Promoted to front page - this feature makes the content visible on the site's home page. This is only rarely used.
  • Sticky at tope of lists - makes a post stay at the top of any listing where the post may show such as a category listing. This also gives the post a blue background and grey border in any listing.
  • Create new revision - left on by default, this creates a copy of the old content for tracking purposes and to make it easy to fix any mistakes in the creation of content.
• Title - try to be descriptive while keeping the title short. If your post will recur in a month or year, consisder including the year and month in the title.
• Categories - as previously mentioned these determine where the content will appear in the site navigation and will trigger posting alerts for people who have set those. Read through the list carefully and set these carefully because they are important to the way the site functions.
• Body - this is generally the meat of your post. The text of your post goes into the body section. You can use some html tags in your post. Help for HTML is available by clicking on a help text link under each body entry form.
• Attachments - this section allows you to upload certain types of files of a certain size to the site. You can currently upload most common image file types and files in the adobe pdf file format. Each upload is limited to 2MB. Each user is allowed to upload a total of 100MB of files.
