Posting News
News items are pages containing current or upcoming information you'd like to share with your audience; news items will be displayed on your homepage and in the news portlet throughout your site.
Note: You must be logged in to make any changes to your site. Find out how to log in >>
Adding News Items
- Click on your News folder.
- Click Add News Item in the toolbar.
- Title your news item.
- Enter a Description
Note: The description field is a perfect opportunity to hook people's attention with something short and catchy. This text will appear beneath the title when displayed in your news folder, the news portlet, and on the news feed at the bottom of your homepage.
- Add your content in the Body Text field. This is the main section of your news item (learn how to apply styles to your text).
- In the Image field, click Choose File to select an image from your computer to attach to your news item, and type a caption (if desired) into the Image Caption field.
- Click Save.
Are you ready to publish the news item to your site? You can click the Status dropdown and select Submit for Approval (if you're a contributor) or Publish (if you're an approver). More about publishing to your live site >>
News Portlet
Are you posting a news item that you'd like to feature on the www.aps.edu homepage?
Publish the news item to your news folder and then submit a request to the Web Team by filling out our help form to ask us to feature it on the district site.
The APS website has news portlet boxes that highlight recent district news. Departments have those same portlets that allow them to show the recent news items from their department news folders.
