Category — how to use the blog

I just changed everyone’s user role from “author” to “editor”. This means that In addition to creating and editing your own posts, pages, etc., you can now also make changes to others. We will all see who is responsible for changes, so use these privileges wisely. Most importantly, this means that in addition to creating pages, you can add to one another’s pages as well. So check out the Free Events page and feel free to add anything you come across. //

Still not receiving email confirmations to join the eport? Please let me know: lhorridge@gmail.com

Also, it did occur to me that perhaps the Baruch emails filtered the confirmations into your spam folder, so please check that too if you are still not in. Thanks.

Photos to be used in rotation as headers for the site need to be sent to Lynn to upload to server: 865pxwide/180pxtall

If you can’t resize them yourself with Gimp, please send them to me and I’ll do it for you.

This is a sample post to demonstrate .jpg uploads. To upload a photo you simply:

1. Create/title a post

2. Determine where you want the photo in relation to text and arrange accordingly

3. Click “Add media” icon above Post box when you decide where you would like image

4. Browse and find photo on your computer

5. Make sure to click “insert into post”

6. Save and publish

In order to leave a comment or write a post you need to sign in with your Macaulay ePortfolio username and password. If you don’t have that already, you can get it by going to the ePortfolio sign-up and sign up there. The sign-up page gives you the option to set up an ePortfolio for yourself or just get yourself a username and password so you can join a group ePortfolio. At this point you only need to participate in the group ePortfolio so just get a username and password if that’s simpler for you.

And, if you have difficulty getting this all to work, don’t panic! We will be working on this with Lynn when we meet this Wednesday. So, if you can’t get this to work, just save your comments on your computer and you can post them when you get up to speed.
