The Idea

The idea behind the site is simple: people interested in Kythera can view material and submit their own material to share with others. The site is free for all to use and has been funded independently by various organisations and individuals connected to the island. As previously mentioned, the viewer can easily become a contributor - instructions as to how to submit can be found below. We hope that the system we are developing is easy to understand but if you are having trouble with any part of it then just send us an email at [email protected].

Viewing

You do not need to be registered to view the entries. Simply click in the sections and categories on the left. In most cases a second column will appear to the right of the category which contains the names of the various entries. Click on one of those and you can view it.

Submitting Entries

If you aren`t already registered with the site (a free and easy process) It is necessary to perform the easy registration process before you submit entries to this site. In the "Login" box at the top left of this page the word "register" is underlined and in brackets. Simply click on it and fill in the short form titled "New User". (We will never pass on your name or email address to anyone for any reason). Once you have clicked on the "submit" button you will be sent an email which has a "link" in it. Click on it (or copy it into your browser address area and click on the return key) and the registration process is complete. If you wish to log-in again in future you only need to enter your email address and password. Once registered you can submit entries to almost any part of the site. Just go to the category and you will find the underlined link "Add to ......" in the top right hand corner. Upon clicking on this you will be presented with a form which will accept the details of your entry. If you are submitting a photo you click on "Choose file" and select the photo on your computer (for how to scan a photo for the site, see below). When the form is completed press "submit" and your entry will be presented to you one last time for checking. Then either click on "OK" if all is well or "back to edit" to modify your entry. The administrators also get a copy of your submission by email, usually to their great delight.

How to Edit an Entry

If you have already submitted an entry and wish to edit it simply log on with your email and password, then click on "Your Personal Page" in the navigation on the left. There you will see a list of all your entries. Click on any one of them and you can edit it.
