Managing New Diplomatic History

Overview

Overall, New Diplomatic History requires very little support. Ken manages the posting of new content. The main role is maintaining the site and plugins, and adding people to or editing the “Network”.

Theme

The theme on this site is a modified version of the first global history theme by Kim. The updated theme is under version control at https://github.com/ToynbeePrizeFoundation/theme_newglobalhistory

Adding and Editing People

• For people to appear in the network, enter “ndh-blog” in the blog tag.
• Add/Edit institutional affiliation in the “Biographical Info” box. This displays on the site under the name.

Twitter

• Tweets of posts sent through @toynbeeprize. This is managed by the WP to Twitter Plugin and is linked to the @toynbeeprize twitter account.
