Creating Events and Stories

After you have your pages set up, you can turn to events and stories. Unlike pages, which are static, events and stories are dynamic. New ones are created all the time, and old ones become less and less interesting over time.

On the web site, the Temple has a calendar. The calendar is a collection of events. An event is like a very small web page: it has a title, a category, and a text to describe the event. It can have an attached PDF file. Oh, yes, and it has a date and a time.

Stories, on the other hand, are like events without the date and time. They also have titles, categories, and text. Under the covers, in fact, events are special kinds of stories.

You Have a Page. So, Now You Want More Pages?

If all went well, you now have a page. I still owe you an explanation of what to do about events and other dynamic information, like news or announcements. That's not the next topic in line.

If you are working on the content for one of our very busy committees, you may feel that you have too much information for one page. No problem. You can add more pages. You will notice at the bottom of your page is a link labelled 'create child page.' It does just what it says: it creates a new page that is a child of your page.

If you create a child page, be sure to pick an informative title and select your committee as the organization. So, now you can make a page with a list of your officers, and a page with a list of your ongoing programs, and a page with tzedakah opportunities ...

Need Hebrew Transliteration? Need Hebrew?

Hebrew in Transliteration

Sometimes, you just want to write L'Ḥayim!

Rabbi Lerner tells us that the Hebrew letters ח (ḥet) and כ (spirantized kaf, sometimes called ḥaf) should each be written in English text as the letter h with a dot under it. Not an h with a line under it, and not 'ch'.

To make this easier, we've added some extra syntax you can use in HTML:

&h_dot; for ḥ and &cap_h_dot; for Ḥ. These turn into the necessary sequences.

What About Hebrew?

Our web site operates in Unicode, which means that you can have actual עִבְרִית right in the page. You may experience some problems with the formatting when you mix Hebrew and English; more help on this will be coming to the site.
