+This page collects information about how to use
+[hacdc.org](http://hacdc.org/)'s copy of Drupal. To use the website to
+create content, you need to sign up for an account on the drupal page,
+activate your account (follow instructions in the email), and then bug
+Will Gibb to make sure your account is setup as a member.
+
+# Creating a blog post
+
+The site's blog content is driven by content nodes. To add something to
+it, [create a new story "node"](http://hacdc.org/node/add/story) and
+fill it out the page appropriately. Give your story a title and content.
+You can add content in HTML, Wordpress or drupal wiki markup langauge.
+You have the option of splitting your post into two parts, with the
+"Split summary at cursor" option, if you have a longer post than you
+feel is appropriate for the main site.
+
+Your post will automatically be sent to the HacDC twitter feed. You can
+disable this (why would you?) or change the title. You can use !url,
+!url-alias, !tinyurl, !title and !user as replacement text.
+
+You can also attach images to your post and use them inline. You can
+also post images to the wiki. To do that, you can use the <img> HTML
+tag, and set your input to "Full HTML". You can read more about how to
+use the img tag here \[syntax\]
+<http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp> and here \[examples\]
+<http://www.htmlkit.com/minit/pages/imgtag1.html> Poke around the drupal
+site and see how other authors have used the img tag in their posts, to
+do positioning. Katie has some pretty good examples.
+
+# Adding an Event
+
+Drupal's [calendar](http://hacdc.org/date-browser) is driven by content
+nodes. To add something to it, [create a new event
+"node"](http://hacdc.org/node/add/event) and fill it out. That node is
+what the calendar will link to. If you select "Promoted to front page"
+(under "Publishing options") it will also be published to the front
+page, as a blog post like thing. **Note:** Please include an end time as
+well as a start time, even if it's just approximate. Otherwise chaos
+will ensue as different pieces of software assume different things.
+
+Once you have created an event, it may take an hour or more for it to
+appear in the web side's sidebar and in the Google Calendar version of
+our calendar.
