INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPLOADING YOUR PICTURES:

1. Uploading images
Dashboard > Media > Add new
–You can drag and drop all the pictures at once or upload them manually

2. Set the order for your images.
Decide which image you want to be the “cover” image–the one that will show on the page and be clicked to start the show.  If you want, you can create (in Powerpoint or Keynote or whatever) a customized “cover” with words on it “My awesome slideshow, click me to start.” Or it can just be the first picture with text above it that reads “click the picture to start the slideshow.”  Then determine the order of the rest of the photos.

Media > Library > Click on image title > Change the title to the name of the your photoessay project followed by the number in the order your photos (Ex: “Food in Flatbush and Jackson Heights – 1” for the first picture; “Food in Flatbush and Jackson Heights – 2″ for the second pictures, etc.”

3. Adding text
Media > Library > Click on image title > Write your text in the “Alternate Text” field (NOT the “Caption” field.  I know, that’s tricky).

4. Make your page for the slideshow
Dashboard > Pages > Add New > Enter the title of photoessay on top > Add text to introduce your photoessay and describe your project

Make Sure to go to Page Attributes (on the right hand side) > Parent > Photoessays

Make sure to press the blue “Update” button to save your work!

5. I will embed your slideshows from the media library.  If you’d like to do it yourself to learn this feature on wordpress, please contact me to set up an appointment during office hours.
