The Help Post

Welcome to the infamous help post. Included within is a detailed explanation of each component of the Healing Scars Blog website. This post will be updated frequently, with new changes being logged by date. Users can feel free to use the comment system for this post to ask questions regarding whatever. Blog Format as of 11/16/05 1. New pictures have been added to the blog. Each session summary post has a new set of pictures to increase the realism of these stories. 2. The Sessions section has been moved to the top of the Sidebar. I also changed the links into a drop-down menu. This will keep the Sidebar clean as more and more session summary posts are created. 3. A Moon section has been added to the Sidebar. This handy little script will help the group with keeping track of how to give bonuses from Luna when we roleplay. Blog Format as of 10/26/05 1. The new Healing Scars Home page displays only two posts at a time. I chose this format because the length of our posts was cluttering the Home page. You can look for older posts in 3 different ways: Search, the previous Posts, or the monthly Archives. 2. The Sidebar is the column of links and information on the right side of the website. It contains several sections: Search, the Storyteller, the Pack, previous Posts, Sessions, and Archives. 3. The Search section is a webform that allows users to search the entire blog. Simply enter the relevent data you are looking for and click the "Search Blog" button. You will be redirected to a page listing links to posts that match your search. 4. The Storyteller section is extremely straightforward. This section contains any relevant information about me. I do not expect the format of this section to change much. 5. The Pack section lists the current members of the Healing Scars, providing several descriptions such as character’s auspice and tribe affiliation. As members post their backgrounds, I will put direct links to those in this section. In the future I want to take this concept even further and upload character sheets for each packmate. 6. The Posts section displays the previous 10 posts that were published to the blog. This is an excellent way to search for a post, especially if you know the post was recently added. 7. The Sessions section lists the last 5 session summary posts for the Healing Scars. The session summary posts all have a standard naming format. For example, if you wanted to read the third session that the Scars played, you would need to find the post titled: “Session 3” followed by the name of the session. If the session you are looking for is not listed in the Sessions section, the easiest way to find it is through the Search section. Types in the word “Session” followed by the number of the session "2, 3, 4, etc." and click the “Search Blog” button. It's that easy. 8. The Archives section is where you want to go when you simply can’t find a post by any other means. The Archives section displays a list of links grouped together by different months. For example, clicking on the “January 2006” will display each and every post that was published in that month.
