The site displays the "Sorry, this school hasn't posted any content yet. Check back soon" message when it thinks it has nothing to display.
It will do this if you:
* Have no active editions
* Have only future editions
* Have no active stories
A lot of people approve stuff and then don't see it show up. Try this first:
* Go to the Dashboard.
* Click on Edit Edition on the left
* Click on the pencil next to the edition in question
* Make sure that the date is not in the future.
* Make sure that active is yes.
* Click update
* Go look at your page again.
It SHOULD have updated itself.

My design changes aren't taking
In order for design changes to be reflected on your site, you must have one active edition and a story (even a token story).

You want a shorter URL
You don't like the URL you have (http://my.hsj.org/Schools/Newspaper/tabid/100/view/frontpage/newspaperid/xxxxx/Default.aspx) and you want a new one.
Do the following:
1. Log in under the teacher login.
2. Click on Newspaper Information in the Dashboard.
3. In the middle of the page, there is a field called Relative Short Name. Type one word in this field. It doesn't matter if it's capitalized or not. This word should represent your school.
4. Now your URL will be: http://my.hsj.org/stateabbreviation/cityname/thatword. Or something like http://my.hsj.org/va/reston/asne
5. Now you must go brand that URL everywhere. The library. The bulletin board. The flag of your printed paper. On letterhead. Everywhere. And build your media empire!
P.S. If Relative Short Name is for the URL, what is Relative Short URL for? I'm glad you asked. Sometimes advisers don't like the At-A-Glance page being their home page. It lists things in date order not in story priority order (that number at the bottom of the article-entry page). So what one would do in that instance is enter a URL in that field that they want the Relative Short Name to redirect to. Instead of the At-A-Glance page, they have it redirect to their front page (which is a different URL). PLEASE REMEMBER TO INSERT THE HTTP:// before your URL in this field.
IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE AT-A-GLANCE PAGE BEING YOUR HOME PAGE ON THE SITE, DO NOT CHANGE THIS.
