===Access your site===
Your sites have been pre-created based on a site template. To access your site:
# login to [http://blogs.evergreen.edu blogs.evergreen.edu]
# navigate to My Sites in the upper left for a listing of all sites connected to your login

===Site Visibility===
Your sites are currently set to be publicly viewable. 
# To change this go to '''Settings > Reading > Visibility'''
# You have the option to choose '''Visitors must have login''' to limit access to Evergreen community members or can leave the sites publicly viewable.

===Display Name===
How your Author display name can be changed sitewide. 
# Go to '''Edit Profile''' from the "Howdy, your name" drop down in the upper left admin bar 
# Change the "Display name publicly as" field to your choice. First name last initial is a good option.

===Writing and Managing your content===
*[[Get Published - Pages and Posts]]
*[[Categories and Tags]] - '''Every post you write should be added to a category''' otherwise they will not be easy to find on your site.
*[[Custom Menus]] - let you modify your site's navigation and add links to new pages or post categories or create sub-navigation.

===Images, video and linked files===
*[[Images in Wordpress|Insert an image]]
* Set a '''[[Featured Images in WordPress|featured image]]''' for each post.
*[[Image Galleries - WordPress|WordPress built-in image galleries]]
* You can display Instagram Image Galleries as well. See: [[Instagram - WordPress| Setting up the Feed Instagram Pro plugin]].
*Embed video from Vimeo or YouTube by pasting the the URL link into the content area of your page/post
*[[Attach a file to a WordPress post or page|Link to a file]]
*[[Embed Audio - WordPress|Audio]]

===Bibliography with Zotero===
We will be using [[Zotero]] in combination with the WordPress plugin [[Zotero and WordPress|ZotPress]] to connect your WordPress sites to your Zotero account and dynamically display bibliographic collections. You will need to:
# Create a Zotero account (if you haven't already) at [https://www.zotero.org/ www.zotero.org]
# Add a few citations using the Firefox extension (should be installed in the lab)
# Organize your citations into folders or "Collections"
# Follow the [[Zotero and WordPress|ZotPress]] instructions for connecting your WordPress site to your Zotero account to display a collection on your site's Bibliography page

===Customize Your Site===
====Recommend Themes====
=====TwentyFifteen=====
This is default theme your site is already set to use. This theme has a flexible Theme Customization panel located in '''Dashboard > Appearance > Customize''', that lets you customize a few components.

=====Additional themes=====
If you feel compelled to use a different theme, the following themes will work well on mobile devices (they are responsive) and make good usage of navigation (Menus) and widgets so you can design a site where viewers can easily find and interact with your content.
* Baskerville (custom header image)
* Editor
* Hemingway (custom header image)
* Ignite
* Padhang
* Tracks (works best with featured images saved to posts)
* Twenty Twelve, Twenty Thirteen, Twenty Fourteen, Twenty Sixteen


Additional themes may not have '''Theme Options''' but can be modified by '''Appearance > Customize'''

====Sidebars (Widgets)====
Sidebar content in WordPress is controlled via "Widgets". Often times if you don't anything to your side bar a default set of "widgets" will appear. You can change this by adding your own widgets.
*'''[[Widgets]]''' - add additional features to your sidebar
