By default the website will display recent news articles on the home page as well as on a news landing page. These stories are displayed as teasers with the header image from the article as well as the date and a short fragment from that story content. The fragment can be replaced with a custom summary. News articles can also be related to pages, and will display as a headline within the right sidebar of that page. The block of news articles teasers on the news landing page is automated. However, at the top of the automated listing is a content area. By editing the landing page you can edit this area using the CKEditor to add content for basic contact information or whatever other introductory information you may want at the top of your news. When you make a new story you'll want to take note of how the news article wraps its text around the header image. You'll want to keep that in mind and not place things like tables or images or other media near the beginning of your article that may interfere with this image. To create a news article go to content, add content, and news article. This will bring up the news article edit form. The news image field is used for the news teasers, it is also displayed within the body of the news article. The image in this field should be at least 450 by 338 pixels and less than 5 megabytes. To add an image click the choose file button and navigate on your hard drive to select the appropriate image. Once selected, click the upload button. This will upload the image and reveal a cropping interface which you can use to select the area of the image you wish to use in your news article. Due to an issue within the Drupal platform we were unable to programmatically require alternative text here however you should be adding alternative text that is the description of your image to this field. The title field will be used as an image caption on the article page. Tags allow you to categorize your news articles, they appear at the bottom of an article. Clicking a tag will bring up a page showing teasers for all articles using that tag. When you begin typing a tag into the tag field it will automatically search for existing tags. If you see the tag you are typing click it to add it to the document. If the tag is not found in the automated search continue to type it and when you save, it will be added to the database. You can add as many tags as you would like to add to an article, separate each tag with a comma. By default the teaser view of your article will grab the first three to six hundred characters of the body. However if you would like to customize that teaser view click the edit summary link next to the body field within the content editor. This will reveal a custom summary field any content that is added here will override the text used for the teaser for the article. The social media image field provides an image for each article when being shared to social media networks. The image specifications follow guidelines from Facebook to embed the image in the code and ask the social network to display it when sharing your article. We cannot control how facebook decides to show your article, we provide the image in the format they want, in the way they want and facebook decides to rest. This field works exactly like the news field image except the image in this case should be a minimum of 1200 by 630 pixels. The image will not display on the news article page. Clicking one or more pages under relate to content will display the article headline in the right sidebar of a page. You can select multiple pages by holding control on a pc or command on a mac as you click your mouse. The news article date comes from the date in which the article was posted to the website. If you need to alter this date you will find it under authoring information in the tabs at the bottom of the edit form. By default the website will display articles in the order they are published with the most recent first. If you want to override this order enforce an older article to the top of the list check the box that says "sticky at the top of the list" in the publishing options at the bottom of the form. The home page block will display the most recent articles "promoted to the front page". If you have an article that you would like not to be displayed on the home page visit the publishing options tab and uncheck the box for "promoted to front page".
