How to POST

HOW-TO

  • Add Yourself and See Yourself on this Site

The “Site login” button is featured on the bottom right corner of the site’s home page. After you’ve added yourself, visit the “We Are…” page to find your name and avatar (listed by first name A-Z). Please change those monster avatars to your likeness!

  • Find Every Post You’ve Ever Published for this Site

Click on your name under the “We Are…” page.

1. Give your post a headline. A HEADLINE, something that grabs the attention and captures the spirit of what you’ve written, not something like “Assignment #1.”

2. Write your post in the big box below the smaller title box.

3. CATEGORIZE your post. This is very, very important. If you do not properly categorize your post, your professor will not be able to find it and you will not get credit for doing it. It is possible the post won’t even appear on the site at all. You can find the “Categories” box to the right of the post box. Click on all the categories that apply (in this case your name and the assignment name).

4. TAG your post. Use key words to identify specific and cross-cutting themes.

5. Publish your post. You will see a box with the heading “Publish” somewhere above the categories box. Click the “Publish” button inside. If you do so accidentally you can always go back and edit the post.
