How do I make changes to my site?

There are two levels of login for your website: users and administrators.

Users are you and your friends, family or anyone else you've created an account for. You have to be a user to view photos, events, friend profiles, videos and to post comments anywhere on the site. The blogs are public so keep that in mind. At your discretion, you can allow users to add photo albums, to post blogs or make comments.

Administrators are people that own and manage a website. This would be you. All the friends listed on http://www.rollyourownhome.com/people/ manage a website. When you log in as an administrator, you can do more restricted activities such as create and edit blogs, create and edit photo albums, create and edit events, post and edit videos, add or edit friends and remove comments from blogs, photos, albums, videos or user profiles. Administrator privileges are powerful so they have an additional login for your security.

To log in as administrator, go to:

http://www.yourdomain.com/admin/

Use your regular website login, comprised of your email address and a password. Don't share them widely as you don't won't others to run amok with your website. Many of the delete options are permanent and can't be recovered so be careful.

Once you log in as administrator, the administrative options show up in red throughout the site. Many of these are on the navigation bar, but are also inside events, photo albums, blogs, etc. If you ever get stuck and simply don't know how to do something, you can always ask!
