How to create a new entry.
Creating a new entry is extremely easy. It comprises of two parts: Uploading the image, Creating the article. Make sure that all images are exactly 600 pixels wide. They can be however tall you want.
Part 1 :: Uploading the image.
Step 1: Log into your
FTP, and immediately double click the “100” folder.
Step 2: Double click the “images” folder.
Step 3: Double click on the “illustrations” folder. Drag and drop images here. Make sure there are no spaces in your image name, and make sure you remember where you put them! The best way to name things is to put a hyphen instead of a space. So “Little Squirrel.jpg” becomes “Little-Squirrel.jpg”. In a very small way, this helps your search engine visibility.
Optional step: If you want to create more folders, you can either right click with your mouse and choose “New Folder…”, or press and hold Command + Left Click and choose “New Folder…”.
Part 2 :: Creating the entry.
Step 1: Log into
TextPattern.
Step 2: Make sure you are on the “Write” tab. This should be the default tab.
Step 3: Write your entry! Almost everything is automatic. Write your title, write your body, choose your categories (you can select multiple by holding “Command” while you select), then click “Save”. There are only a few lines of code you’ll need to use, and I’ve created a
cheat sheet for you.
