You should now have whatever access you need on the shows site,
including uploading files. You should now see an admin menu on the left
when you log in. It may be hidden, but look for a wrench icon in the
upper left corner. Let me know if you still can't upload an image.

You should be able to add blog posts that will appear here. In the admin
menu, click on create content > blog entry. Posts on the news page must
be published and promoted to the front page. You should see these
options in the blog post creation form.

To forward email from isak at ucimc.org to your gmail account:
- Go to http://plexus.chambana.net
- Log in and then click on "My account"
- Click the Edit tab above your account informationp, then click on the
sub-item, "ldap entry"
- Change the email destination field to your gmail account and click Save

If you forward your email like this, you can just use gmail to check &
send messages and you won't need to use Roundcube.

Privileges to edit menus and full "admin" rights for the main ucimc.org
site aren't given out to
everyone. You have permissions to manage the events basically. If you
find something that needs to be changed, for now you can notify the tech
list.
