##Adding Posts

To add a post, go to the "Posts" link in the left navigation panel and click "Add New" (Posts > Add New).

NOTE: the site is organized into 6 categories: "about", "team", "studies", "community", "participate", and "join", where the "about" category is the homepage. You will see the names of these categories in the "Categories" panel on the right-hand side of the page.

If you want your new post to appear on the site, be sure to check the appropriate category for the post. Otherwise, the post will by default be put in the "uncategorized" category, and will not show up on the site.

##Adding images that change on hover

If you want to add an image that changes to a different image on hover, following the style of the "Team" page, first upload your images in the "Media" panel (Media > Add New) and edit them as you see fit (crop, scale, etc).

Then, click "Add Media" in the new post page (Posts > Add New > Add Media) and select the two pictures you want. (Note that you can also upload media from this interface as well.)

The first picture inserted into the post should be the original image; the second, the image that you want to see on hover. Then, after you insert the images, go to the "Text" editor for your new post (as opposed to the "Visual" editor). You should see two strings of text that begin with "<img" and end with "/>", without the quotation marks. Before the "/>" of each image, insert this text:

data-image-type="change-on-hover"

So, for example, if your original image was this:

<img class="size-thumbnail" src="hello.png" />

Your new image would be this:

<img class="size-thumbnail" src="hello.png" data-image-type="change-on-hover" />

NOTE: if your images do not contain the data-image-type attribute with the "change-on-hover" value, they will show up as normal images. Also note that you can preview your images and other changes with the "Preview Changes" button in Edit mode before you publish your post.

##Editing or deleting content

To edit or delete content, go to the "Posts" link in the left navigation panel and click "All Posts". From there you have the options to Edit posts, Delete posts, and so on. (Posts > All Posts > Edit) or (Posts > All Posts > Trash)

##Changing post order

By default, posts published more recently will show up first on the site. However, if you would like to change the post order, you can do so with the "Intuitive Custom Post Order" plugin, which is installed for you.

To use it, go to the "All Posts" page. From here, you can drag and drop your posts in the order you like.

##Embedding forms in posts

Your site has a plugin called "Contact Form 7", which allows you to embed forms in your site like the Participate form and the Undergraduate Student Research Assistant form. To add a new form, click on the "Contact" link in the left navigation panel and click "Add New" (Contact > Add New).

From here, you can choose the types of of input for your form, the email settings for the form, and the text to display to the user. You can find detailed documentation for using Contact Form 7 at Contact Form 7's documentation page.

You can prevent form spam with different methods. The first is with Akismet, which is an installed spam filtering plugin. To use Akismet, follow the directions that Contact Form 7 provides.

You can also use Honeypot, another installed spam filtering plugin. Honeypot adds another hidden field to your form. Humans won't fill out this field, but spam bots may - and if they do, the form won't be validated. To add Honeypot functionality to your form, simply click the "Honeypot" button in the form fields while making your form.
