You would post the text in the editor like normal. In the book field, start typing "Sacrifice" (without the quote marks). In the chapter field, type the number 2.
I added another field underneath the editor for "Pen Name", and that's a required field. I added it there so if someone posts a story with multiple authors, they can add them this way. You can just start typing your name and it should show up.

So I open what I already started with Sacrifice in edit or start new? Sorry, but I'm really computer challenged.

No, that's okay. There's always a learning curve with new things.
You would go to the editor as if you were posting something new. Under the editor, you just have to type in Sacrifice (since that's the name of your "book" or multi-chapter story). Under chapter, you'd put the number 2. When you post, it will keep them together.
I'm hoping that the plug-in authors will add something to make each "book" (their term for multi-chapter story) have its own index page.

I'm in Greece with only the iPad, but I'll try to upload my multi-chapter stories (plus the multi-chapter one we did with EW, hee hee) when I get back to Brussels. Thanks again for setting this up, MsAnn!

You're welcome!
I went into a couple of your stories with Electric White and checked both of your names under "Pen Names". I wasn't able to do it for all of them, but it's something you might want to go back and do.

Becky, there is a video that will help answer your question. The information you need begins around the 1 minute mark in the video.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to post something using an iPad. Can you post using a mobile device? I think I might have trouble with plug ins.

I'll have to look into it. I have a Samsung galaxy tablet so I don't know if what I find using my tablet would apply to an iPad.
ETA: I updated your roles on the site. That should help. If not, let me know.

Okay, I got in and I posted something. Thanks!!
But I also managed to generate a very weird error while I was in there:
-10520: Jetpack: [missing_token]
I have no idea what it means. It seems to get confused as to whether I'm logged in or not if I log in from my Wordpress account.

Try logging in again. Everything seems to be okay from my end.

Hi, Ms. Ann! I have been trying to get onto your web site, but with little success. I seem to be caught in a sort of Catch-22 -- I get the login screen, but when I log in, it tells me that it expired and to get another, so I email, have a new one sent to me, and then that tells me it expired.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
