Contributing Content to Drupal site at www.annodex.net

To create new entries on www.annodex.net:

• log in
• enter the site (just get past the front page somehow, e.g. go to sitemap)
• on the left under your name there is a "create content" item: click on that
• if you'd like to add a news story, click "story"
• if you'd like to add an item anywhere else, click "page" (there isn't much of a difference in meaning between story and page in drupal, so by default just use page)
• give the item a title, select under which heading(s) it should appear, enter your text, and hit "submit": there is no need to change any of the other settings for the item

The item will then be published at the top of the list under the selected heading(s); it may not be completely at the top because some pages are sticky at the top of the list. But in general, the pages are ordered by entry date (which incidentally can be changed manually).

Entries entered under "community -> news" are promoted to the front page under News.

If you need to attach a file, use the "File attachment" on your item.

As for editing: with many items there is just a short first paragraph that appears in the categories (headings). You will only get the full item if you click on it. If you do not like the way drupal automatically clips what goes on the category view, put a line with "<!--break-->" into your item text at the appropriate location.
