How to Write & Publish a Post
Creating a post for the blog is pretty straightforward.
- click the ‘Log In’ link that you see in the left-hand column in the ‘Meta’ area
- enter your username and password
- when you’re logged in you’ll be taken automatically to the blog’s “dashboard”, where you’ll see a button to ‘Write a New Post” – click that button
- give your post a title in the ‘title’ area
- enter the content of your post in the ‘post area’ – use the basic formatting buttons if you want to format your text – if you know HTML, you can use it if you click the ‘HTML’ button – if you want to add a photo or other media, click the gray star next to ‘Add media’
- click ‘Preview this Post’ to see what your post will look like, then make changes if necessary
- when you’re happy with your post click ‘Publish’ to put it on the blog – or, if you’re not ready to publish yet, click ‘Save’ and your post will be saved as a draft but not published.

Maybe I’m just silly, but I don’t see a “Write a New Post Button” on the Dashboard.
I posted some screen shots so you have a visual. if your visual doesn’t look like mine, drop me an email – Zoe
Oh, okay. Sorry about that. For the longest time, the option wasn’t available to me, but now it is.
Thank you.
I made my own page when I first made the eportfolio and it seems that whenever I try to post, my posts go to that site. How do I make it so that I post on “The Arts in New York City” page? Maybe I’m probably just missing something obvious, but I can’t figure it out. =\
I am having the same problem Walter is/was having. I was going to post a harangue, but I guess that dream is over.
^ I saw that someone posted and thought it would be the answer! I’m still having the problem, but whenever I figure it out I’ll tell you how to fix it.
Makes me feel a bit better that I’m not the only one having trouble.
You can’t write a post to the class blog because you are not yet authorized users. This was the same problem Corey had. I added you as authorized users and you should be receiving an email inviting you to join. Chang, I used your gmail address. Walter, I used your Baruch address. If you don’t get an email inviting you to join, let me know by sending me an email.
Anyone else, if you’re having trouble making a post, send me an email and I can add you as an authorized user.
