Reference

This page explains how to do different things on the website (so Curt can take a break once in a while).

Quick Links

Template:Newslist - Latest Happenings on main page
Sermon Schedule with links - Links to upcoming sermons
Update Audio Library feed (be patient while it loads) - Update the podcast feed that iTunes sees

Manage @wlbiblechurch.org email addresses: Someone needs to log into admin.1and1.com and change those settings under the Mail section
Update the calendar: Done through Google Calendar. Only those who the calendar has been shared with can edit (right now just PD)
Update the Blog: Done through Posterous.com. Only those with the right credentials can edit (contact Rick Pickell)
Change how the website looks: You'll need FTP access to edit files directly. New users can be created in the FTP control panel at admin.1and1.com. This website's skin files include /wiki/wiki/skins/wlbcSkin.php and everything in the /wiki/wiki/skins/wlbcSkin/ directory. Be prepared to see code.
Do something else: If you don't know how to do something, remember that this website is built on the MediaWiki platform and behaves just like Wikipedia, so most of the help docs for MediaWiki can also apply here. The Audio Library runs using an extension on top of MediaWiki called DPL.
