Tour of the Awakening Path Content Management System

Explore Home
This will be an exploration of the method for submitting content on the Awakening Path website, whether that be an article, a "quick-link" to pages on other websites, a diary entry, comments or other forms of content.
After reviewing all this documentation, if you're still have questions (or comments) you may contact the editor by using the Table of Contents link on the Awakening Path home page, and then using the Contact Us link
You begin by clicking on the Login/Signup link from any page of the website. This brings you to the Login page which also contains the Signup (or Registration) Page. Here is where you'll define your username and password, plus other demographics. Because we are establishing a community of users and will be wanting to keep you informed (and able to share with others), we require your email address (which will never be given to anyone else, but you will be able to communicate through forms on webpages.) We are serious about privacy and security, so you may be assured that your personal information will only be seen, if you specifically ask for it to be seen.

Signup
Here's what the signup form looks like:
You begin by entering your firstname and lastname. If you'd like to use a "pseudo-name" on your content, you can enter it in the Pseudo Name field (although we please ask that you don't use oddball pseudonames, but use something close to a real name.) Then you enter your email address (which will be used for security purposes and not shared with anyone else.) If you have a website, you can enter the URL on the next line, but that's optional.
We do ask that you enter a Bio for yourself which will appear at the bottom of any article you submit. Our readers will want to know who you are, after all.
Then you define a username and password for yourself, and finally press the Submit Registration button. Pressing that button MEANS you have read the Writer's Guidelines which give you a few general guidelines for submitting content. If we find that any content is submitted that does NOT conform to these guidelines (especially the copyright aspect) we reserve the right to remove that content and block any further submissions.
And then you're done!
What will happen next is that you will receive an email welcoming you to the community of Awakening Path authors. You will find a link in that email that you MUST click, in order to validate your registration. This assures us that you have submitted a valid email address. When you click on the link in the Welcome email, you will see a screen like this:
Note that all the appropriate information is filled in already so you simply click on the Login button. If the fields are NOT filled in, (or it just isn't verifying your registration for some reason,) you will find the information on the email you've been sent, and can use that info to fill in the fields.
Once you've clicked the Login button, you will be brought to the exact same place as if you have used the Login part of the Login/Signup screen:
