Here's what I know about making a new News article on the website.  Go to the
News page, and click News > New news.... in the toolbar at the top.  After you
fill in the new page/article info, you get to the editor.  (I'm pretty sure you
need editor permissions before you can see that toolbar.)

I don't think markdown is supported, but I'm not really positive.  I don't think
it would hurt to try a line with markdown - see what happens.  You could use
html if you wanted, (click the "Source" button in the editor).

To add a picture, do CMS Plugins > Picture.

Clicking Save button on the editor is sort of like a preview.  You'll see your
edits on the page, but no one else will see them, until you click Publish in the
toolbar at the top (top-right corner).  Sometimes the first Publish takes
several seconds (maybe a minute).  Don't click it again, but just wait.  (I
forget what blows up if you click it twice, but apparently it's not good.)(Just
kidding, nothing blows up.)

(In my recent experience, sometimes I have to refresh the page to see my new
edits.  I'm not sure if that's just for me, or if everyone has that experience.
Also, I think the website has a new release, since that happened.  So maybe
fixed?)

I'm not familiar with G+ but I guess all you would need is the URL of the
article, to link to it.  Right?

Well, at least maybe this is enough to get you started, until someone who knows
more comes along.

All best,
brynn

Never done this before... Is there a way to publish markdown and pictures to a
news story on the website? I can then link to it in a G+ press release.

Thanks. :)
