# =========================================================================== # FILLING IN A MEMBER'S PAGE # # You are looking at a form. Type each answer after the colon. # That is the whole job. There is nothing else to learn. # # --------------------------------------------------------------------- # THREE THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU START # --------------------------------------------------------------------- # # 1. DO NOT CHANGE THE VERY FIRST LINE OR THE VERY LAST LINE. # The first line starts with <pre and the last line is </pre> # The website needs both of them to find your answers. # Everything in between is yours to fill in. # # 2. THIS LIST IS NOT WHAT VISITORS SEE. # Squarespace shows you the list. The real website turns it into a # finished page with headings, photographs and links. # So do not worry that it looks plain in here. It is meant to. # To see the real page, open it in an ordinary browser tab. # # 3. LINES STARTING WITH # ARE NOTES TO YOU. # Nobody else ever sees them. You can leave them all exactly as they # are. They do not appear on the website. # # --------------------------------------------------------------------- # IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER, LEAVE IT BLANK # --------------------------------------------------------------------- # # A blank answer makes that part of the page disappear completely. # If a consul has no public address, leave Location blank and the page # simply has no address section. Nothing is left looking unfinished. # # So: never delete a label to get rid of something. Just leave it empty. # If you delete the word Capital: you cannot fill it in later without # typing it back exactly. # # --------------------------------------------------------------------- # WHAT A FINISHED ONE LOOKS LIKE # --------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Name: Veikko Valli # Role: Honorary Consul # Country: Finland # # Location: 3608 E Burnside Street # Portland, OR 97214 # # Phone: 971-319-2776 # Email: veikko.valli@example.org # # Bio: Veikko Valli has served as honorary consul for # Finland in Oregon since 2021. # # He promotes economic and cultural relations # between Finland and Oregon. # # Population: 5.5 Million # Capital: Helsinki # # Two things that example shows: # # * A LONG ANSWER CAN RUN ON TO THE NEXT LINE. Just carry on typing # underneath. You do not have to line it up neatly - the website # works out that it belongs with the line above. # # * FOR A NEW PARAGRAPH IN THE BIOGRAPHY, leave one completely empty # line between the paragraphs, as above. # # =========================================================================== # --- WHO THEY ARE ---------------------------------------------------------- # Role is their job title, for example Honorary Consul # or Honorary Consul General or Associate Member. Name: Role: Honorary Consul Country: # --- WHERE THE CONSULATE IS ------------------------------------------------ # Street on the first line, town and ZIP underneath. Leave blank if # there is no address the public should use. Location: # --- HOW TO REACH THEM ----------------------------------------------------- # Type these as plain text. The website turns each one into a working # link by itself - you do NOT need to make links yourself. Phone: Email: Website: # --- THEIR BIOGRAPHY ------------------------------------------------------- # Write as much as you like. Leave one empty line between paragraphs. Bio: # --- FOUR FACTS ABOUT THE COUNTRY ------------------------------------------ # These are about the COUNTRY, not about the person. # Write populations in whole millions, like 18 Million # - not 18,000,000 and not 17.9m. Population: Capital: Language: Largest City: # --- THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM ------------------------------------------------ # Write the wording out in full, exactly in this style: # # Visit the Embassy of Denmark in Washington, D.C. # Visit the Consulate General of Japan in Portland # # Capital letters on the country and the city, and D.C. with both dots. # Put the web address on the second line. Copy it from your browser. Embassy: Embassy URL: # =========================================================================== # IF THE PAGE LOOKS WRONG # # Nothing appears at all # You are probably looking at the Squarespace editor, which only # ever shows this list. Open the page in a normal browser tab. # # The website shows this list of instructions to visitors # The first or last line has been damaged, or the page's setup code # has been deleted. Do not try to patch it - click CANCEL, and ask # for help. # # An answer is missing from the page # Check the label above it is spelled exactly as it was, and that # the colon is still there. # # You have made a mess # Click CANCEL at the top of the screen, not SAVE. That throws away # everything you just did and puts the page back as it was. # Do not use Undo (Ctrl+Z) - it confuses Squarespace. # # --------------------------------------------------------------------- # EXTRA FACTS - MOST PAGES DO NOT NEED THIS # # Associate Members have facts about themselves rather than a country. # For those, leave the four country facts blank and use lines like these # instead, removing the # from the front: # # Fact: Hometown | Amsterdam # Fact: Interests | Sailing, architecture # # The upright line between the two halves is made with Shift and the \ # key, above Enter on most keyboards. Copy a whole line to add another. # ===========================================================================
