Below are step by step instructions for basic editing and uploading. I have allocated each staff member responsibilities . Important – to avoid problems, don’t edit a page unless you know you are the only one doing so. Ask Adam before editing pages that haven’t been assigned to you.
The site is not yet available to the public, so have a go at following the steps and don’t worry about making a mistake!

– Adding a video to a page or article (post)
1.Upload video to a youtube account. This requires a personal gmail/google account (Ria and Adam have).
2. Once uploaded – check the settings for viewing (public etc). Copy the url address of the video (in youtube click on ’embed/share’ and it will give you the address to copy for embedding)
3. Go to dashboard and open up the page you want to add the video to. Select where you want video to display (cursor – then click).
4. Click on ‘youtube’ icon in visual editor – a box will open asking for the url of the video , paste in the url you copied from youtube. You can change the default size of the display if you want.
CLose and UPDATE! You will see some code in the spot where you placed your video. When you view your page, the video should be displayed there.
