Keeping an up-to-date list of publications on our site is important in terms of our visibility as DinAmicI. Adding a new publication (by you or another member of our community) is rather straightforward, but still here are some instructions.
On your back-end page (that you get to by clicking on “Site Admin” on any of the site’s pages), look for “Publications” in the list on the left. In the pop-up menu, click on “Add New”.
If you’d like to post something on the website click on the “site admin” link on the main page. You’ll find it under “Meta links” on the left hand side. This will take you to your dashboard where you’ll find a “Posts” link on the top left. Click on the sub-link “Add New” and you’ll be brought to a page where you can create your post. Note that you can add links to webpages, such as www.
