So you'd like to contribute a story ..... this is how to do it.

In each page provided for storytellers in the Lavington Memories section you'll find a picture holder space and some text already in place. Just like the template displayed below.

You'll notice that the text itself tells you what to do. If you make a mistake that's okay as you can cancel at any time using the cancel option in the EasyEdit Toolbar.

Please select a category (Family, Local History or Other) using the links on the left hand navigation. You'll find these by first selecting Lavington Memories. Once you've selected a category you'll find several story pages available. They're called Memory, History or Other and they are numbered sequentially. Select one of these and claim it by adding the text and image for your story. If more pages are required they can be made by using the Add a new page option in the left Navigation.

Use this template when you want to use photos and text to tell your story. Click EasyEdit, then highlight this text with your cursor and type over it with your own words: You can write as much as you want!

This sample photo is easy to replace with one of your own: Click the EasyEdit button, highlight the placeholder image at left and hit "delete." Then click the "image" button in the toolbar and use the "browse" button to find the image you want to insert from your computer. It's that easy.

The text can be wrapped around your image, or you can have the text start below the photo. You can also move the photo to the right side of the page. See your choices for photo and text placement by clicking on the photo with your mouse and then clicking "image" on the toolbar.

You can also change the size of your photo by clicking on it once to highlight it, then by clicking the "plus" or "minus" sign in the "Edit Image" toolbox. When you're all done, save your page.

Adding a Page

Make sure you have selected the segment in which the new page is to appear first, then select the Add a new page icon. Key in the title for that page and any keywords; select the Image and Text template option and click Save.

Adding an Image

Select the page on which the image is to appear and click on the EasyEdit tool. Place your cursor where the image is to appear and click the Image tool in the EasyEdit Toolbar. Follow the onscreen instructions that ask you to locate the image on your computer, size to fit the page and select the format option of your choice. Click Done when finished. You can always return to the EasyEdit to adjust if necessary.
