Reference:Sermon Schedule
On this page: How to add sermons to the Sermon Schedule. Each sermon gets its own page on the website and creates its own entry on the Sermon Schedule page. After the sermon is given, this page gets updated and becomes an Audio Library page.

Create a new page
To create a new page, type a URL into the address bar that doesn't exist. Like:
http://www.wlbiblechurch.org/Audio:This page doesn't exist yet
It will say that that page doesn't exist, and if you're logged in, it will ask you if you want to create (or edit) this page. Create a page named after the title of the sermon, with Audio: in front. Spaces in the title are okay. They're converted to underscores automatically. Ampersands can cause problems; it's easiest to just rewrite them as "and." Some examples:
http://www.wlbiblechurch.org/Audio:This is a new sermon title
http://www.wlbiblechurch.org/Audio:Fullness and Freedom in Christ
http://www.wlbiblechurch.org/Audio:Love One Another
Note that there is no space between Audio: and the beginning of the title. If the sermon title is TBA, then just create a placeholder name, such as "Audio:Palm Sunday: Message TBA" or "Audio:January 12 Sermon TBA". This can be changed later.
Click "Edit" at the bottom of the page to begin editing it. You must be logged in.
Special Characters in Titles
- Replace a question mark in a title with %3F
- If a title has an apostrophe, single, or double quotes, type them out on the keyboard into the browser instead of copying and pasting from the Word document.
What to put on the page you just created
Copy and paste this code into the edit box:
{{upcomingsermon
