Update Your Speakers Bureau Listing
Speakers, please update your own listing.
Register
First, register at the public NCPA site (not the private Members Only Wiki). Please use your full name. Your username can be the same as your real name. Spaces and capitalization will be recognized.
A password will be e-mailed to you. You can change this password after you log in the first time.
The webmaster will receive a notice that you’ve registered and will give you ownership of your page.
Log in
Log in to the site.
After you log in, you should see tabs for “Dashboard,” “Write,” “Manage,” “Comments,” and “Profile.” If you log in and see tabs only for “Dashboard” and “Your Profile,” the webmaster still needs to upgrade your permissions. Please be patient.
To open your page for editing, you can
- go through the WordPress Dashboard (select the tabs Manage > Posts then search for the post with your name), or
- navigate through the public site to the page you want to edit. There will be an “Edit this post” link at the bottom of the main content area. Click it, and you’ll go directly to the editor.
Editing Your Page
Please type your changes into the box titled Post. Your apostrophes, quotation marks, ampersands, and other special characters will be prettied up automatically.
- To make text italic or bold, highlight the text and click either the i or b button.
- To make a link to a Web site, highlight the text for the link, click the link button, and enter the link address.
- To add another third-level heading, type ### at the beginning of a line. Type #### for a fourth-level heading.
- To make a bulleted list, type an * followed by a space at the beginning of a line.
- To make a numbered list, type any number followed by a period and a space.
- To force a manual line break, type two spaces and then use your keyboard’s Enter key.
- To make an em dash, type a space, two hyphens, and another space:
--.

You should also review the tags assigned to you. Tags are reserved for Speakers Bureau subjects. Try to use existing tags whenever possible; when there are too many tags, they tend to blur together.
