General information<\/h3>\n

Log-in to the Digital Shange Projects page with the following url:
\nhttp:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/digitalshange\/projects\/wp-admin<\/a><\/p>\n

Your username is the same as your UNI. If you have any trouble logging in, or if you lost your password, email me at sgreene@barnard.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Remember to save your work because WordPress will not automatically save it for you. When working with\u00a0an unpublished item, hit “Save Draft” often. When working with\u00a0a published item, hit “Update” often. I would also recommend saving your work\u00a0in another platform (e.g. Word, Google Docs) by copy\/pasting.<\/p>\n

Adding your Project to the site<\/h3>\n

When using the Digital Shange Blog, you used\u00a0“Posts” to make blog items. For your content to display properly on the Digital Shange Projects site, you should use “Portfolio<\/strong>” instead to make Portfolio items, pictured below.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Making a Portfolio<\/strong>\u00a0item is very similar to making a Post. The main difference is how your Project will be displayed\u00a0on the Digital Shange Project site. Also, only Posts have a “Format” option, pictured below (there is no “Format”\u00a0option in\u00a0Portfolio<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below is a screenshot with descriptions on\u00a0the different areas you can edit as well as\u00a0add to your\u00a0Portfolio<\/strong> item.<\/p>\n

  1. Toggle between the “Visual Editor” and “Text Editor” here. “Visual Editor” allows you to add basic formatting to your\u00a0Portfolio<\/strong> item without using\u00a0HTML code (e.g. bold, italic, insert\/edit\u00a0link). “Text Editor” is for using\u00a0HTML code. (What is HTML?<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  2. Enter your\u00a0Portfolio<\/strong>\u00a0“Tags” and “Categories” here. Tags are for primary themes and will display on the home page of the Digital Shange Projects site. Categories are for secondary themes and will display on your Project page only.<\/li>\n
  3. Use\u00a0“Featured Image” to create a thumbnail for your Project. This thumbnail will display on the home page of the Digital Shange Projects site. There is a tutorial video on using\u00a0“Featured Image” below.<\/li>\n
  4. Use “Add Media” to insert images into your\u00a0Portfolio<\/strong> item. There are tutorial videos on using “Add Media” \u00a0as well as using\u00a0the “Media Library” below.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Tutorial videos<\/h3>\n

    Keep in mind that the following tutorials are for Posts, and\u00a0you will be working with\u00a0Portfolio<\/strong>. Again, many of the features and settings are the same.\u00a0The main difference is how your project will be displayed\u00a0on the Digital Shange Project site. Also, only Posts have a “Format” option, pictured above.<\/p>\n
