Oceania Website

The most significant and, I believe, the most important feature of the new Oceania Website is the ability not only to find information but also to contribute information, articles, short news items, calendar dates and to engage in a whole range of participatory activities.

To start with “Have a look”.  See if there are things there which interest you.  If not, know that you can put them there yourself.  If you are young or adventurous, a user of a community site (Face book etc) you may not need any specific instructions and can start participating immediately.

I will include some instructions in each of the next few Oceania Updates. I will also keep updating and adding to this article. If you cannot find the help you require check into our "How to Use..." forum and see if someone have contributed a solution for you.  If you still have questions, ask them in the "Reply" section of the forum at How To Forum.

 How to Sign Up

1. The site is found at www.edmundrice.org (there the old site was.)
2. The old site is still accessible at www.edmundrice.org.au for anyone who wishs to look up old articles.
3. There are two sections to the site.
   1. The core part which is the Home Page section identified by large, round buttons .
      This is used to store articles, news items, ministry profiles or any topic of interest to you and which you might wish to share with other Edmund Rice Network members.
   2. The Community section is identified by “you’re inside our community network hub.”
      This is used for blogs, forums, event calendars, groups, personal face-book type pages.
4. You can sign up to add data to either or both sections. Each section requires its own "Sign Up".
   1. The top button in the right hand panel of the Home Page “Network: Sign Up & Participate in Our Community” allows you to sign up to add content/articles to the "Home Page" section.
   2. The top button in the right hand panel of theCommunity Section “Welcome to
      The Edmund Rice Community: Sign Up or Sign In” allows you to sign up to enter Groups, Forums or add to the Events Calendar.
5. Once signed up each time you enter the site you can “Sign In” using the Menu at the very top of the web page in either section.
    
6. To add an article while in the “Core Section” you use the menu item “Submit Content” on the left of the thin, blue menu bar below the Search Button.
   
7. To add items to the community section is somewhat easier and I will leave it to you to work out how to do it. 
8. I will take questions if you have any. To ask a question go to the forum How To? Check to see if the question is already answered.
