What Does It Do?

The CoffeeCup QuickPost program makes it easy to add items of text to a web page. This process is often called Web Logging or Blogging. This program makes it very easy to make diary entries, news entries, or anything that you wish to add to a webpage.

How Does It Work?

When the "Post It!" button is pressed, the program downloads the page (specified by the page profile) and looks for the <quickpost> or </quickpost> tag (depending on whether it is inserting at the top or bottom) and inserts your post, saves the file, then uploads the page to the server.

Your First QuickPost

The following are the steps you need to perform to make your first quick post:

1. Using your favorite HTML Editor (or notepad), create an HTML file. (Or use an existing one)
   
   
2. In the HTML Page, place the following tag: <quickpost> </quickpost>
   (There is no need for any text between the tags, extra lines are OK.)
   
   
3. Start the CoffeeCup QuickPost program, it will run as an icon in the system tray, which is next to the clock on your Windows Taskbar.
   
   Double click the QuickPost tray icon
   to open new post window.
