General design goal:
 
Explain general style and use of the site, with specific enough instructions to walk someone through the act of posting according to that style, but without getting so specific about the WP end of things that it requires constant updating (e.g. no screenshots, which would require updating when WP goes to a new version)

Posts

Most news and current events are best put on the site as posts, not pages. The basic formatting is the same, but the results will appear in different places on the site.

Because this allows for the same info to be presented in different places, and in different formats, posts allows for much more control over presentation.

Categories

I will try to add the basic descriptions of each category here over time. In the meantime, you can log into the site, and under the "posts" heading in the sidebar, click "categories." Or just click here

Front Page News (catID=23)
Anything put in this category will appear on the home page.
