General
Blocks, Content, Page Layout
The main site consists of blocks. The blocks (mostly) have no content. You create a block and then decide where to position it on the main site. I'm using the term site to distinguish it from pages. You create a 'page' (or event, or bio) and then decide which block you want it in.
Note: For 'News' use a Bio, not a basic page. It will automatically appear under whichever News block you are using
When you upload a jpg for an event and classify it as public, it goes under Public > Attachments then a node number
Admin > Content gives you the list of pages and blocks, which you can choose and edit
Block Admin is where you include/exclude blocks on a page
Currently the front page is set up as Members' New Website, Upcoming Event, Rehearsal Change, Big Front Block, Main, News also the footer and sidebar stuff.
These are all put in the section called 'Content' - there are many other sections, mostly unused.
Members' New does contain the text content
Rehearsal Change contains its text
Big Front Block contains lots of text and stuff
Main appears to be empty
News is also empty. Bio pages are automatically placed here.
Featured Page is for the top slider.
Cancelled Rehearsal
Edit the Rehearsal Change block
Free Concert
Put an event on the calendar and check the Featured Event field. That puts it in the Featured Events block.
Make sure the Featured Events block is part of 'Content' on the main page.
When the event is done, remove the Featured Events block from the content of the main page.
News
New News
Create a Blog under my name. The text in the Title field will display. Maybe give it a URL alias. I checked 'Promote to Front' but don't really know what that does. Somehow it gets to the front page
Changing a news item
Go to Settings & Admin > Content and click on edit next to the item you want to change (saves 1 click rather than clicking on the title)
