FAQ’s
Now what exactly is a FAQ page, and what is it for?
The idea behind a FAQ page is to build up a database of questions that website visitors ask, together with the webmaster’s answers. The advantage is that, if you happen to need some help, there will be a fair chance that you are not the only one, and that the answer has already been posted.
In fact, the more questions you ask, the more you help other visitors. So if you can’t find the answer here, please don’t hesitate to use the little form down this page to ask any questions that pertain to this website and its workings.
Frequently Asked Questions and their Helpful Answers

What software powers the Clan Fergus(s)on Society website?
Our site is powered by WordPress, which combines the advantages of a blog and a CMS (Content Management System). Because WordPress is so popular, many of our visitors will already have experience with the system through their own blog.

How do I find my way in this complicated website?
Fortunately it's less complicated than it seems. Navigating the fixed pages is very straightforward when you use our Sitemap. Navigating the blog posts is easiest done via the tab "Categories" near the top of the vertical column on the right of the page.

I've been given "Author's Access" and my own blog category. How do I proceed?
Log in with your username and password via "Register/log in/log out" in the navigation column to the right. Authors will then see in the same widget a link to our "Site admin" or administrative panel. Familiarise yourself with this panel. When ready to post, do so via the admin panel where it says "Posts" and then "Ad new". You'll see text fields for title and post and also, to the right, the various categories you can post in. Pick the appropriate one, usually your "own category", but you're not limited to that: you can post in any category if appropriate. Preview your post, and if you're happy: publish!

Orange bordered on account of my Dutch birth and proudly flying the Saltire in honor of our Scottish roots, I make this website for all Fergussons - regardless of name, spelling or origins. It's dedicated to all Scots and all Scottish descendants around the world, meaning that in fact it's dedicated to ourselves!
