Publishing on CaymanActive

Adding your own content to CaymanActive.com or sites which share the same platform is easy. This page is in need of update - we're just waiting whilst we make even more improvements to the publishing power you have. If anything is unclear for now, follow the link below to contact us.

Here’s your step by step guide to the basics. Some more advanced tutorials will follow soon. If you have any questions, just add them below or contact us.

Remember that people access the Internet with numerous devices (PC, i-Pad, mobile phone) and browsers (firefox, safari, internet explorer) so the screenshots we show here are indicative only and may not be exactly what you’ll see.

STEP 1: Log-in

Enter your username and password – or use the Facebook sign-in option.
Don’t have an account? – follow the ‘create account’ or ‘sign in with Facebook’ options.

STEP 2: Write New or Edit Old?

When logged in, you’ll see a control panel like the one below. Look for the ‘Write New Blog’ and ‘Edit My Blogs’ buttons…. Go to Step 4 if you are going to ‘Write New Blog’ or Step 3 to ‘Edit My Blogs’

STEP 3: Editing your Blogs

After clicking ‘Edit My Blogs’ in the control panel, you’ll see a list of your blogs. Each one has options to ‘Edit’ (go to Step 4) and ‘Delete’. You can also click to toggle each one between ‘Published’ and ‘Unpublished’ status.

STEP 4: Writing your Blogs

The main screen for writing your blogs will look similar to that shown below. Let’s take you on a tour of some key areas, going from top to bottom….

• Do you want a link to your blog to go to Facebook and Twitter? If so, check the boxes. If not uncheck them. At the moment this refers to the CaymanActive Facebook and Twitter pages. Soon you’ll be able to link to your own too if you have them.
• Next line…. Select an appropriate Category for your Blog with the drop-down options - and if you like, say who can see it when published.
• Main Editor…. Use the main editor window to type (or paste in) your content. There are options for bringing in photos, videos and documents – feel free to try them out. We’ll explain those in detail in another tutorial....

• Below the main editor you’ll see Publishing Options – If you want to use these, you can say when the blog should appear (publishing date) and when it should disappear (unpublishing date).

• If you’re part of a ‘Team Blog’ (you’ll know if you are!) then you’ll see options to post to that ‘Team Blog’ if that’s where you want it to go. (If you forget just return later to select it.)

• When you’re finished, click the blue button (save as draft) or green button (publish) just above the editor. Job done!
