I've got some good news! A basic site is up and sort of running. I am still in the process of adding pages to the site itself. If you already signed up, I changed the plugin that ran membership, so you may want to go into your profile and change some things. The plugin that runs membership allows for people to PM each other, so if you have questions, you can PM me. You should be able to use the username and password you created when you signed up. I was able to post one fic. I haven't had time to post more than that. I have not tried to post a multi-chapter fic. If you want to start posting fics, go ahead. I'm still working on adding categories. If there is a category you don't see, let me know. I know that this seems like a mess, but this will help find any bugs and work out the process to post. I'm still busy with school. Spring break is next week but I'm going out of town for a few days. I'm hoping that things have settled down enough with school that I can work on the site a bit more. http://crescentcorallibrary.com/

That's wonderful, Ann!

Hooray!

Wonderful news! Thanks so much, msann!

Woohoo, thanks for your hard work!

I got the notice that I can start posting fics. I might try this weekend.

You're welcome. If there are any problems, let me know.

Could someone with author privileges go to this URL and let me know what comes up? You should get a "form" of sorts that would let you post a story. Let me know what comes up, plus any error messages you might get. http://crescentcorallibrary.com/write/ This won't come up for me as admin. Thanks!

All I get is a message saying "You are not allowed to do this."

Are you logged in? You have to be logged in or you won't see the page. I had to create a second account just for author stuff. I could see it from my author account, but I can't see it from my admin account. ETA: It was the theme on the site. I logged in as an author and tried to post and I got the same message. I changed the theme. Try it again and let me know if it works.

Bingo! I'll be posting stuff soon. (Duh duh dunnnnn!)

I've posted most of my one-off fics on the Library. Now I need to get my act together and post the longer ones too

Will you post the ones we did jointly? Or shall I? I didn't see an option for joint submissions, but maybe I just need to read the instructions again

As of right now, there isn't an option for joint submissions. It's a limitation of the plug-in. It may be an option in the future.

Go right ahead, DT!

OK, the one-off stories co-authored by EW and DT are up in the Crescent Coral Library!

Woohoo

I've been tinkering around with the site somewhat. You'll noticed that right off the bat, the theme is different. I'm trying out different themes. Now that school is wrapping up for the semester, I have more time to work on the site. Authors should now have access to the "back end" of the site and all the tools that come with it. There are more details over at the site on the Tech Support forum. I created a taxonomy for authors as a workaround for the multiple author issue.

I started to post Sacrifice, but couldn't figure out how to do chapter 2. I followed your instructions for starting a fic with chapters, Ann, but can't figure out how to do chapter 2 and onward.

Originally posted by Becky Rock I started to post Sacrifice, but couldn't figure out how to do chapter 2. I followed your instructions for starting a fic with chapters, Ann, but can't figure out how to do chapter 2 and onward.

You would post the text in the editor like normal. In the book field, start typing "Sacrifice" (without the quote marks). In the chapter field, type the number 2. I added another field underneath the editor for "Pen Name", and that's a required field. I added it there so if someone posts a story with multiple authors, they can add them this way. You can just start typing your name and it should show up.

So I open what I already started with Sacrifice in edit or start new? Sorry, but I'm really computer challenged.

No, that's okay. There's always a learning curve with new things. You would go to the editor as if you were posting something new. Under the editor, you just have to type in Sacrifice (since that's the name of your "book" or multi-chapter story). Under chapter, you'd put the number 2. When you post, it will keep them together. I'm hoping that the plug-in authors will add something to make each "book" (their term for multi-chapter story) have its own index page.

I'm in Greece with only the iPad, but I'll try to upload my multi-chapter stories (plus the multi-chapter one we did with EW, hee hee) when I get back to Brussels. Thanks again for setting this up, MsAnn!

You're welcome! I went into a couple of your stories with Electric White and checked both of your names under "Pen Names". I wasn't able to do it for all of them, but it's something you might want to go back and do.

Ok, will do when I'm back in Belgium, thanks!

Becky, there is a video that will help answer your question. The information you need begins around the 1 minute mark in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHn9JqThcXc&feature=youtu.be

I'm having trouble figuring out how to post something using an iPad. Can you post using a mobile device? I think I might have trouble with plug ins.

Originally posted by jublke I'm having trouble figuring out how to post something using an iPad. Can you post using a mobile device? I think I might have trouble with plug ins.

I'll have to look into it. I have a Samsung galaxy tablet so I don't know if what I find using my tablet would apply to an iPad. ETA: I updated your roles on the site. That should help. If not, let me know.

Thanks!

Okay, I got in and I posted something. Thanks!! But I also managed to generate a very weird error while I was in there: -10520: Jetpack: [missing_token] I have no idea what it means. It seems to get confused as to whether I'm logged in or not if I log in from my Wordpress account.

Try logging in again. Everything seems to be okay from my end.

Hi, Ms. Ann! I have been trying to get onto your web site, but with little success. I seem to be caught in a sort of Catch-22 -- I get the login screen, but when I log in, it tells me that it expired and to get another, so I email, have a new one sent to me, and then that tells me it expired. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
