What is a Content Management System?

A content management system is software that runs on our web server that allows you to create and manage webpages easily and directly on your browser and immediately present it on the web. You can restrict viewing of your articles and uploaded files to only registered users or make them available to anyone. 

In this site we refer to web pages as articles which can be written by any permitted contributor. There is also a facility to upload files like powerpoint presentations. We will then try and organise this information to make it accessible as possible by grouping it into categories. Registered users will be able to view the entire contents of site but you can also elect to make selected visible to the public.

Register with the site and add your own content and sections

To login to your site you need to register and create a user name and password. You will then be validated by one of the site administartors and granted the ability to add information to the site.
