Welcome to your Summer Institute website!
This site is built with WordPress. You are reading your web site’s homepage, and it was written with the help of the WordPress document editor. This page, like any other page of this site, can be edited easily with just a few clicks. New pages can be added and existing pages deleted. This site is easier to edit than an MS Word doc.
Do not worry. There is a user guide linked at the bottom of this page. But first, read the overview…
Overview
The content you are reading now can be amended the same way you might edit a Google Doc file or MS Word file. We can add text, images, videos and link to other documents. We can add columns, rows or animations. The frame around the content that provides color and sidebars can be changed with the click of a few buttons.
WordPress is like Microsoft Word or Google Documents. WordPress provides us a simple way to manage the content we want people to interact with online. It provides a document editor, media library for file storage, and a system that makes it easy for us to organize the display of the pages we create with WordPress. WordPress is our publishing tool.

This Site is Hidden
Your new website is visible only to logged in users like you. This site is hidden from general public view to enable you to edit the pages and theme without risk of search engines indexing the site before the content is ready. You can make the site publicly visible by disabling the Maintenance Mode plugin; this will also make the site visible to search engines. Be careful to publish the site only when the content is ready.
