Day: January 30, 2017

This will cover the basics of making your blog post, as explained and demonstrated in class on 1/30/17.

1. Go to the site “Dashboard” and, on the left side, click “Posts”>”Add New.” Alternatively, you can just click on the large “+ New” at the top of the page and select “Post” from the dropdown menu.
2. Before doing anything else, select the category of the week you are writing about. Categories are on the lower right of the “Add New Post” page.
3. Give your post a title and input your content. If you want to link to another website or article, highlight the text you want to be linked and click the chain link logo in the menu bar (or just hit ⌘K). You can also add images using the “Add Media” button.
4. Check to make sure you selected the correct category!
5. Preview your post using the “Preview” button in the upper right. This is especially important if you have issues with formatting because you composed your response in a word processor.
6. Publish!

If you run into any trouble, feel free to email Jake
