The [https://nottinghack.org.uk/ Nottinghack website] provides information that is the public face of Nottinghack.  We always need extra people to update the site and post on the blog, so if you are interested let us know!  There are [[List of Web Editors|Web Editors]] who have access to update the site, but anyone can submit a change request via github.


== Writing a Blog Post ==
==Nottinghack github and documentation ==
The github is a repository for the space's documents and code, including its website:


IF you have access and want to write a blog post, go ahead!  Just remember the following points:
* [https://github.com/NottingHack NottingHack top level (github)]
* [https://github.com/NottingHack/website Nottinghack Website (github)]
The Rules and Members Guide:
* [https://guide.nottinghack.org.uk Members Guide] (edit via [https://github.com/NottingHack/members-guide github])
* [https://guide.nottinghack.org.uk Rules] (edit via [https://github.com/NottingHack/rules github])


* some stuff about how to talk when writing a post here.
Floorplans:

If you want the post featured on the front page carousel, you need to take three extra steps:
==Updating the Website==
The members that maintain the website can be found on the [[List of Web Editors]] page.


# Write an Excerpt
The website's contents is updated via github see [[Website Version Control]] page. Anyone can submit a change request via github.
# Tag as homepage
# Upload an image


=== Write an Excerpt ===
== Writing a Blog Post ==
 
The main Nottinghack blog is [https://nottinghack.org.uk/blog/ here]. It is looked after by the [[Team:Communications]]. Typically, post are highly relevant to the space. However, guest posts are welcome - contact the comms team.
The text on the carousel is taken from the Wordpress Excerpt.  If you don't define one, wordpress will take the first few words and it'll probably look terrible!  To write your own, make sure you have an ''Excerpt'' box below the main post editing box.  If not, click ''Screen Options'' at the top of the screen and tick ''Excerpt''.
 
Write your excerpt in this box before you publish the post.
 
=== Tag as homepage ===
 
When you are tagging your post, inlcude the tag ''homepage''.  The carousel only includes posts tagged this way.
 
=== Upload an image ===
 
Finally, the carousel needs an image, obviously!  Your image needs to be 590 x 400 pixels. Set it as the featured image using the option on the right hand side.  If you can't see the featured image box, click on ''screen options'' at the top of the page and tick ''featured image''.
 
== Calendar Access ==
 
The public facing calendar on the website is a Google calendar. The public calendar feed can be found [https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/info%40nottinghack.org.uk/public/basic here].
 
=== Google Calendar Import/Merge ===
To get Nottinghack calendar events to appear in your own Google calendar, use the "Other Calendars" option (in your calendar settings, or from the main screen). Use the address "info@nottinghack.org.uk" and events from Nottinghack will be pulled into your own.
 
== To Do ==
 
Some things still need to be done on the site, these are:
 
=== Top level navigation ===
 
Needs a bit of a clean, including '''new projects'''
 
=== Tidy Widget Areas ===


The theme needs the widget areas tidying, removing the ones that are no longer user and separating the right hand side on the blog and normal pages.
=== Planet - blog aggregator ===
{{main|Planet}}
For more personal/random posts [http://planet.nottinghack.org.uk Planet] may be a good fit. It is a stream of the latest blog posts by people who have opted in. If you haven't got a blog [[Planet#Setting_up_a_blog|setting one up]] is easy.
