The news stories are actually the content type listed as "Story". To add a news item to the site, do the following:
- From the administration menu, click on Create Content > Story.

- Create a title for the news story. This is your headline.
- Enter one or more tags in the News Categories field. For example, a story that was about reconciliation in Diepsloot might have two tags: reconciliation and Diepsloot.
- In the page icon, you can upload an image that is the primary photograph for the news story. Other photographs will be entered separately.
- In the teaser text field, you should enter just a few sentences about your news story to entice people to read the entire story. If you are a very good journalist, the teaser text is the first paragraph of your story.
- Enter the text of your news story in the Body field.
- The only additional item that you need to concern yourself with is Additional Images. If you have more than one graphic and you would prefer not to enter them into the story in the "Body", they can be entered here and will appear when readers look at the entire story.
- When you are done, select Save at the bottom of the page. The news story should now appear on the News and Notes page.
