Hello I am going to show you quickly how to do your blog posting. As you can see we have our site here it's changed a little bit since last I used to see if I can get us through it when you log in you're going to go to blog posts and then sorry ad and this is where you start posting All right. Title. Start writing. In your post you need have some photographs so add content media and you can find your your stuff I'm going to I'm just going to say this picture here. Insert that picture there and then I don't like the way that they look so I have my writing here and then I have my picture there and then I'll start. I also you need to have so you need three photos there the one big thing about the photo is this featured image here make sure you set the featured image so I miss I'm going to say OK this is my future image the future images what comes up. Right off the front page so if you have if you don't set a featured images just of yours so you want to make sure that you have some kind of future image there. So that's can be the future image that comes up right off the beginning and then I'll say you know old media group if I can spell so that will be the top picture that will be that and then my See my my article start my blog starts this one is inside the blog and three photos three photos minimum and then one link two hundred fifty words one like so then with your link let's say. Let's say London I. Learned. You can tell that on the T.V. Guide same as the everything OK in London I highlight that this is the insert link. OK you are all from London I OK let's go find London. OK there's the London Eye Fishel So I click on that and there is the website copy that go back to at my post boom there is my link I'm going to leave London I has the text that you can click on right and I'm going to add link and now it's a link. So it least one link. Don't always do the bare minimum right so three three photos is the minimum one link is the minimum two hundred fifty words the minimum don't do the minimum. The minimum is a normal person the the people that you don't want to work with right away so that is that the other thing that I need you guys to do is categories in Texas OK first thing that you do is come into your this is all the people that or two on the work on the are gone on the trip before so come in here categories set up your own category Hail my last name right OK I'm already there and new category add your own name so you can link on that also this this story here takes this is London right so this takes place in England. I already have one for England so I click on that and if it takes place in Northern Ireland. There is no other island if it takes place at Wales eccentric setter said the biggest thing is to make sure you click on of these journeying because then we can search all of the stories for you and that really helps us in grading so we can say that OK you're supposed to do X. amount of blogs this year and I can click on it I can make sure you did X. amount of blogs this year if you want to go over the blog count that's great go over the blog count only have you do blogs during the days that we have class if you want to do a blog on the weekend that's great this also helps when your followers want to just read your articles not everybody else's so they can just go and click on your name right so after you're done with all that there's going to be publishers that behind my video publisher there was behind you so publish it I would probably preview it make sure it looks the way you wanted to remember that you are publishing this and the world can see this double check everything triple check your spelling I suck at spelling so I check it all the time I've actually published mine a couple of times gone back and rewrite it and found words that missed old so I go back and fix all that stuff so this is kind of what you're responsible for doing during the trip this is your homework realistically two hundred fifty words. It will take you ten minutes fifteen minutes and it won't take you very long so at the end of your day you know when you go back to get ready for to go out to dinner that night go bag do all this throw together don't throw together make it look nice but really it's fifteen minutes and you'll probably be pretty good with everything the other nice thing about this is it allows you later on to come back and look at the trip and just go yeah that's right I remember doing that because the trip is five weeks and you're going to get lost and you're just going to be late it's going be able or so it's going to be nice to come back and later on and say yeah I remember doing that. That is how we do this. If you guys have questions just send me questions and I'm happy to help you with this grading wise we're not grading this every day so if you decide to start half asking it. I'm going to see it at the end and that's one of the great you so unlike most classes where you constantly are getting feedback we're treating this more like a job and a job is you know my job I get a year later review at the end of the year my boss tells me if I've done a good job or not he's not constantly on my case every single week when I do something so we're treating this a little bit more like the real world little more like a job and I'm going to review everything at the end that's when you're going to get your. Great having said that if you guys want to show me or sue. The blogs we're happy to talk to about and say what we think is good we think is bad and you can go back and read it your blogs to later on the one thing that I am looking for is to make sure that you blog on that day so make sure you have something in there or a really nice blog and then if you want to go back and add stuff later to it that's fine. So that is how to do that and I have to find my done but it went on but.
