If you edit this page, please save it again as a draft. That will keep it from being found on a site search.
Most pages can be edited directly by signing in, navigating to the page or post, then clicking edit.
The home page, inner sidebar and forms are done differently. In these cases, the content is pulled in from somewhere else — another page, a form generator, or a widget.
The chart below tells you where to edit that kind of site content. If you look at the list of pages under “Pages/All Pages” in the Dashboard, you’ll find this How to Edit page. It’s saved as a “draft” so that it won’t show up on a search.
Note on images: Except for the home page slideshow, images on the site will all be less than 600px wide at 72 dpi. Digital cameras and phones take pictures that are much bigger, with a large file size. Loading images of a reasonable size will save space and processing speed.
