28 Oct 2009 Using the Special “voting” Tag
 |  Category: Clues for Members  | Leave a Comment

When official business is carried out at a Speakers Roundtable meeting, the Secretary is encouraged to post the minutes at this website in the category of Clues for Member.

When the business meeting results in a vote being held, the post containing the results of the vote should be accompanied with the tag, “voting” so that all such posts can be readily found later.

The exception may be votes for new members when application is denied, so as to avoid any unnecessary embarrassment.

 |  Category: Clues for Members  | Leave a Comment

First, become a member of Speakers Roundtable.

After you log in, click on the [Write] link at the top.

Take the text you want to post (like your member info) and paste it into a plain text editor like Notepad to strip out all the formatting. Then copy it from Notepad and paste it into the Post window.

Add a title, like “Paul Johnson, AC-S”

Your photo should be about 100 by 100 pixels. If it’s not, you can resize it and save it using a (free) program like Irfanview.

Below the Post window, click on the [Upload] tab, then browse to where your photo is on your hard drive. Enter a title, like “Paul Johnson, AC-S” and click [Upload]. Click on the [Browse] tab, then drag and drop your photo to the top left of your Post text (in front of the first word of the first paragraph).

Click on your photo, then click on the menu icon labeled [Insert/edit image (Alt+m)]. Change the field for “Alignment” to [Left], and enter [10] in the “Horizontal Space” field.

Click the [Preview] button and you can see what it looks like. Use the [Edit] arrow to continue editing. Use the formatting controls for Bold, Italics… Click [Save and Continue Editing] whenever you feel like it.

Now it’s time to pay attention to the options on the right. Under Categories (click the + to expand) choose Members (for your Bio; for other postings, choose the appropriate Category).

When you’re set, click [Publish].

If you want to change a post, click on [Manage] and select [Edit] next to the Post you want to work on.
