Note: All logins will expire after a period of inactivity. Each page request will reset your login session time, however, editing a page even though you are typing and clicking buttons will NOT update your timeout period. It is highly recommended you finish all page edits within 30 minutes or so or risk loosing all your edits do to an inactivity timeout.

• In order to login you must first obtain an access account from the website administrator, this may be the person that designed your website or it may be someone within your own organization.
• Once you have obtained login information from the administrator you need to determine the location of the login page:
  • If your website has a dedicated Login Link use that link,
  • You also may be able use the default login by visiting: http://www.yourdomain.com/aynnyd/admin/admin.php, please note you must substitute your actual domain for "www.yourdomain.com".
  • If neither of these methods work for determining the correct login location you will need to contact your website administrator to get the address.
• Now visit the login page, input your login name (the email address associated with your account), and your password (case sensative), and click the "Login button".
• If your login was successfull you should have been redirected to the home page of AYNNYD, and you should see additional private or administrative links.
• Please contact the website administrator for assistance if "You were able to login before but now you can't".

Note: Keep editing time short so you don't logout due to inactivity and loose your changes when you click the save button.

• Editing Tips - READ THESE, They will help you!
  • It is highly recommended you do NOT copy and paste preformatted content from a Word Processor into the Editor as this can cause formatting issues that will require advanced knowledge to remove.
  • Use a plain text editor to create your content text or copy your Word Processor content to a plain text editor (this will remove special formatting) and then copy and paste that into the editor and add your formatting there.
  • View & Learn the "Editor Button Reference"
  • Hover over the Editor buttons to get an idea of what they do.
  • Highlight text first to enable many of the buttons.
  • Use the undo button to reverse your last action.
  • Use the clear formatting button to remove text formatting.
  • Many buttons can undo things or change properties as well.
  • After you save your changes, justification and font sizes / colors may change due to site wide styling.
  • To delete tables or images quickly, place cursor to the right of the table or image and hit the backspace button.
  • Use tables to help format the page layout the way you want. Tables force justifications and content to stay in its box.
  • To nest tables, add table outside of any table, then cut and paste table to the table cell you wish.
  • If you know HTML and you can't get the editor to do exactly what you want, click the HTML button and edit the source code directly.
  • If you really mess up a page while editing it, DON'T save the page, simply click on the Cancel button, your changes will not be saved.
