How to Write a Book in Drupal or WordPress





WordPress
1. Log in to your WordPress admin area. Go to 'Pages,' then 'Add New.' Type 'Index' into the title box, and then publish the page. Repeat this process, this time creating a page called 'Chapters.'
2. Click 'Settings,' and then 'Reading.' Select 'A static page,' then set the 'Front' drop-down to 'Index' and the 'Posts pages' drop-down to 'Chapters.'

3. Click 'Posts,' then 'Add New.' Name the post 'Chapter 1 -- Name of Chapter,' replacing 'Name of Chapter' with its actual name. Publish the post, then visit your 'Chapters' page, click the post, and copy its URL to the clipboard.
4. Return to the admin area, click 'Pages,' then 'Index' and then create a link to the first chapter by typing 'Chapter 1' in the editing area. Select this text and click the link icon that looks like the link of a chain, and then pasting the URL into the text field that appears.
5. Click 'Posts,' then click your first chapter and start writing. You can start new chapters at any time by repeating Step 2 and Step 3, and you can edit any of your chapters by selecting it from the 'Posts' menu.
6. Visit your blog. You can read your work so far by clicking the relevant chapter link. Once you are reading a chapter, you can also use the comments feature at the bottom of the page to add notes or to allow friends and editors to leave comments on your work so far.
Drupal
7. Log in to your administration area. Click 'Administration,' then click 'Modules' and select the option to enable the book module. In Drupal, a 'Book' is simply a set of pages arranged hierarchically.
8. Go to 'Content,' then 'Add content' and then 'Book page.' Write a title for the book, select '
' from the 'Book Outline' section, and then click 'Publish.'
9. Click 'Content,' then 'Add content' and then 'Book page.' In the 'Book outline' section, select the level at which you want this page to go. Main chapters will be below the level of the book title page you just made, but you can also set a new page below an existing chapter in the hierarchy. For example, this area could be used to write thoughts and reminders for each chapter.
10. Write any content you wish for this page, and then click 'Publish' when done. Continue this process, adding new pages to create chapters when needed. You can visit the homepage for your Drupal site at any time if you want to read the work you have done so far in sequence.
