Revision of Instructions for contributors from Tue, 2008-05-27 18:14

To contribute to the site you need to be a registered user with contributor status.

To contribute to the site click on the appropriate item in the Create Content menu on the left hand side of the page.

To add photographs

Click Image.  You will get instructions that are reasonably straight forward.  However, it is best to add just one image at a time - at least until you get used to the system.  Most images should be put in both a geographic gallery and a taxonomic gallery.  To select the galleries in which the image will appear: click on your first choice then control>click the second gallery you want.

To add to the Literature database

This is fairly straightforward.  If possible please include an abstract with the entry, even if it is only very brief. 

If cutting and pasting text ito the abstract box is is often best to click on disable rich-text (just below the abstract entry box) before pasting the text into the box.  This avoids problems with text formatting.
