Getting Started

In order to make changes to your website, make sure your browser is new enough, then log in.


Browsers

First, make sure you're using a modern web browser.  To take advantage of the full power of the editing tools Plone offers, be sure you're using one of the following browsers:


Windows:Internet Explorer 5.5+, Firefox 0.8+, Mozilla 1.5+, Netscape 7.0+
Macs:Firefox 0.8+, Mozilla 1.5+, Netscape 7.0+

Login

To login, add /login_form to the end of your website's URL.  So for instance, for http://www.onenw.org we would log in at http://www.onenw.org/login_form.  In the resulting form, type in your user name or password.  Your user name is most likely your first name and the first letter of your last name. (For example, andrewb.) If you forget your password, follow the instructions on the screen to have it emailed to you.


Go To The Page

From the welcome screen that comes up, make your way to the page you wish to edit.  You can use the navigation on the left to drill down to the page you want, or you can search for it using the search box.

Note that there are different kinds of pages in a Plone site.  The ones we will be discussing here are known as "documents" and they are what make up most of your website.  Be sure that the  page you are looking for isn't a news story, an event notice, or any other more specialized kind of page.
