An Easy Way To Post On The Club Forum
I want to introduce a new feature of the club’s website, a easy to use visual editor to create posts on the forum. This means that you do not have to use a subset of the WordPress admin interface as we have done in the past when you want to add something to the club forum. Your post can include text, photos, video or you can create photo or video galleries using the “Add Media” button .
You must still log on to the club website before writing your post. The new easy-to-use form is accessed via a link from the Members page or you can use this quick link.
As an example I’ve include 2 photos (Waldo and my Decathlon) just because I can.
Let me know what you think of this new feature. Is it easier to use?
