    ADMINISTRATORS:

    Step 1: Log into the site by clicking on the login link near the top of every page.

    Step 2: Click on the All Posts page in the header across the very top of website page and press on the link “Create article or add a song.” There is a link to Post a Song at the top of the song list on the Next BUG jam page.

    Lyrics are optional here and unnecessary since we now have a lightbox that will show the songsheet in chordpro without having to open the Word document. Also, it is very frustrating to paste formatted lyrics from Word or PDF into an HTML editor such as this. If you don't want to put in the lyrics here, just put your cursor in the text and press the space bar a few times otherwise your song posting won't work. You'll be uploading them as a Word or PDF file in the next step anyway. Tip: use the Paste as Plain Text or Paste From Word buttons as seen in the picture above. 

    Step 4: Upload your Chords/Lyrics document(s) .

    Press the select button Browse and select your files

    If you scroll down a little, you will see a node (small + plus sign) beside the word Files see the highlighted area on the image above.  Press on the node to expand the file uploader.  Press the “Select Files” button and you will then be browsing your hard drive.  Browse to where the files are on your computer and select them.  You can do more than one file at this step if you have the song in more than one key.  Once you press the open button the files are loaded onto the site, attached to this song and also placed in the “All Songs” page.

    Step 5: Get your youtube embed code
