Use the content management system to add an article/story
The content management system makes is easy to add a new story/article/press release/marketing message/new product...!
Click on the Add a new article button to display the following screen:
Enter a descriptive title for your article (page titles are important to search engines so you should make it descriptive). If the title is short, just duplicate it in the Short title for
menus field. Longer titles will mess up the look of your menus so keep this field short. For example, your full title might be "Worcester company's content management system gives control back
to site owners". But the short title might just be "CMS gives full control".
From the content management system's dropdown menu choose the category where you want your article to appear and choose publish from the Publish staus dropdown. If you choose anything else other than Publish, your article will not appear on your site (ie visitors will not be able to see it). But you can save a draft and return to it later for editing.
In some circumstances you might want to put your story in more than one category. For example, it could be a News story about a new product. So you might want to add it to your news category and also somewhere in your products category. No problem for this content management system. Just choose News (a category you would previously have created) from the Main site category. Then choose the product category you want from Related site categories choice selection. Result is that your story will now appear in both categories.
You should exercise a little restraint with this facility as too many multiple appearances of the same article in different places can confuse visitors.
Add keywords to help describe the article. These should be words that are closely related to your article. They will be added to your published page as meta keywords visible to search engines and will also help visitors when they are searching your site using your own site search facility. Just add kewords and (phrases) as a list separated by commas eg... Worcester, CMS, content management system, self-publishing... etc (Keywords used to be very valuable to your ranking with search engines. But this is no longer the case, search engines preferring to rank on the actual content of your page now).
