It uses a few databases you can access through CPANEL e.g. TRs, faculty and student info, content of symposium page (again ask iSchool or previous coordinator for access)
Historical note:  the site was on a CS server before, and many old project webpages still live there. The TRs and old video files still live there.

Adding "News" itemsadd a "Post" in Wordpress
In general best is easier to duplicate an existing news item and modify it.


Adding News items: add a "Post" in Wordpress
To make updates to faculty, students or sponsors: use the Participant Database on the left side of page.


Updating faculty or students: make changes in the database in Cpanel.  If adding someone: email them the url of '''New To The HCIL'''If removing someone:  add them to the alumni page (edited normally in wordpress).   
When you add someone you can also email them the url of '''New To The HCIL''' wikipage
If removing someone:  add them in our hcil-aluum list (best is to ask them if they have a personal address we can use) and make sure to add them to the alumni webpage (edited normally in wordpress, not in the database).   


The symposium webpage is not easy to edit...  see email from Anne Thursday, December 7, 2017  for discussion

To make updates to faculty, students or sponsors: use the Participant Database on the left side of page.

When you add someone you can also email them the url of New To The HCIL wikipage If removing someone: add them in our hcil-aluum list (best is to ask them if they have a personal address we can use) and make sure to add them to the alumni webpage (edited normally in wordpress, not in the database).
