Tables: Update A TableYou must first login to the site, and if you have Author privileges, you will see an "Edit" link below any table in the website.
Tables: Insert a Row in a TableClick on the button to the left of the row, scroll down to the option that says "Insert A Row", and it will insert a blank row above the row you had checked.

Tables: Insert a hyperlink to a file in a tableClick on the cell of the table. Click on the button that says "Insert Image". This is a little misleading because it can really insert an image or any file. You will be prompted to click on the cell again. Once you do that, a window will open where you can download the file from your Computer, a URL, or the Media Library. A file would be in the Media Library if it has ever been added before. Click on "All File Types", and you can view it, or search for it, or simply upload the file from your computer. You will be prompted for a name of the file, and then click on "Insert Into Post"
Tables: Insert an image into a cell in a tableFollow instructions above, and choose image size.
Tables: Change the options on a table.Don't. We are trying to maintain consistency across the site, so please do not check/uncheck any of the options towards the bottom of the table updates.
Tables: Insert a hyperlink into the tableClick on the cell of the table, and then click on "Insert Link". It will prompt you for the URL, so it's easier to already have that copied ahead of time and ready to paste in there. It will then ask you for a name for the link, which is the text that you want to appear for the link. Once you select, it will paste the HTML code in the cell. If you just past the link into the cell, it won't render properly.

Users: Change PasswordsThis can be done by clicking on the username at the top right of the screen after you have logged in. You can modify your profile and password. This is important to let others know.

If you have been provided the username and password, go to www.vimeo.com and login. Click on Upload a Video. As you are uploading the video, modify the description, and just as important, on the side click on "Add to", and select the proper channel (Pack, Troop, Crew) or it will not show up on the site or Facebook page properly.

Videos: Delete a VideoYou can select the video and delete. Please make sure you are deleting the proper video in your channel, and not someone else's video.
Gallery: Upload PhotosSelect an album first! Very important. Then click on "Add", "Photos" and you can upload as many as you want from your computer. This is much easier in this version.
