			= Creating a blog post =

			The site's blog content is driven by content nodes. To add something to it, [http://hacdc.org/node/add/story create a new story "node"] and fill it out the page appropriately. Give your story a title and content. You can add content in HTML, Wordpress or drupal wiki markup langauge. You have the option of splitting your post into two parts, with the "Split summary at cursor" option, if you have a longer post than you feel is appropriate for the main site.

			Your post will automatically be sent to the HacDC twitter feed. You can disable this (why would you?) or change the title. You can use !url, !url-alias, !tinyurl, !title and !user as replacement text.

			You can also attach images to your post and use them inline. You can also post images to the wiki. To do that, you can use the <img> HTML tag, and set your input to "Full HTML". You can read more about how to use the img tag here [syntax] http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp and here [examples] http://www.htmlkit.com/minit/pages/imgtag1.html Poke around the drupal site and see how other authors have used the img tag in their posts, to do positioning. Katie has some pretty good examples.
