Machnicn: /* Add a new fungus */

__NOTOC__
===Your Assignment===
You will generate content for a fungus post on the “Fungi Evergreen” website. You will select one species of fungus and create a fungus post for it by researching and writing original content. Each fungus post will include a featured photo and photo gallery, along with a description of its features, habitat, distribution, and any practical or historical uses. Your fungus of choice must be: 1) a species that can be found on Evergreen's campus and 2) a species that does not already have a fungus post on the Fungi of Evergreen site.

===Getting Started===
*'''[[Getting Started with WordPress]]''' - What is WordPress and how is it being used at Evergreen?
*[https://sites.evergreen.edu/fungi Login to the Fungi of Evergreen site]

====Driving in WordPress====
*'''[[Dashboard Overview]]''' - get comfortable navigating the Dashboard and moving between Admin and Public view
*Change your profile info: Name and Bio

===Add a new fungus===
See the '''[https://sites.evergreen.edu/fungi/fungus/example-fungus/ Example fungus]''' for details on what is to be included in each section of your fungus post and '''[http://sites.evergreen.edu/fungi/fungus/chanterellus-formosus/ Cantharellus formosus]''' for an example of what a complete post looks like.
#'''Create a new Fungus''' using the '''New''' button at the top of the Admin Bar or from the '''Dashboard > Fungi > Add New''' menu
#'''Title your post''' - use the Latin species name for your fungus (for the workshop create a fictitious fungus with the title starting with "Fake")
#*'''Note:''' the traditional post content area will actually display at the bottom of the page. This is where we're going to add image galleries instead.
#'''Publish''' your Fungus and then '''View Fungus''' to see how it looks

====Edit an existing fungus====
*From the public view of your Fungus, click the '''Edit Fungus''' button in the top Admin bar
*You can also navigate from your Dashboard to '''Fungi > All Fungi''' and hover over the fungus to '''Edit'''

====Input fungus data====
Beneath the top content area we will be putting the rest of our content into sections using WordPress Custom Fields. The process is very similar to filling out an online form.
# Look for the '''Input fungus data''' block and fill out the fields
# The first time you save fungus data you will click the '''Add Entry''' button at the bottom of the fields
# To save this fungus data with your fungus post you need to next '''Update''' the post
# Click '''Edit'' in the Fungus Data block to add/edit content to these fields
# to save your changes click '''Save Changes''' in the Fungus Data block AND '''Update''' in the publish block to update the entire post.

'''Things to note about adding Fungus Data:'''
*'''Important:''' Every time you make a change to your fungus data you will need to save your changes in two places: 1) the Fungus Data block 2) the Publish block
*The Photo for Microscopic or Chemical Characteristics will need to be sized prior to upload as it resides outside of the WordPress Media Library and does not give you the option to resize it after it's been uploaded.

====Fungus Categories and Morphologies====
* Along the right hand side of your Fungus post, select the appropriate fungus category and morphology
* A fungus may belong to more than one so check all that apply

====Adding Links====
#While editing a post, highlight the text you want to be a link
#Click the "add link" button
#Paste the URL you want to link to and click "Add Link"

You will be adding images to your fungus post. Original images taken by you are preferable, but if you don't have a high quality photo (or want to add additional photos), you can use images that are not your own if they do not violate copyright laws and are properly attributed. See note about Creative Commons images below.

Field Mycology - WordPress

Machnicn: /* Your Assignment */

__NOTOC__
===Your Assignment===
You will generate content for a fungus post on the “Fungi Evergreen” website. You will select one species of fungus and create a fungus post for it by researching and writing original content. Each fungus post will include a featured photo and photo gallery, along with a description of its features, habitat, distribution, and any practical or historical uses. Your fungus of choice must be: 1) a species that can be found on Evergreen's campus and 2) a species that does not already have a fungus post on the Fungi of Evergreen site.

===Getting Started===
*'''[[Getting Started with WordPress]]''' - What is WordPress and how is it being used at Evergreen?
*[https://sites.evergreen.edu/fungi Login to the Fungi of Evergreen site]

====Driving in WordPress====
*'''[[Dashboard Overview]]''' - get comfortable navigating the Dashboard and moving between Admin and Public view
*Change your profile info: Name and Bio

===Add a new fungus===
See the '''[https://sites.evergreen.edu/fungi/fungus/example-fungus/ Example fungus]''' for details on what is to be included in each section of your fungus post
#'''Create a new Fungus''' using the '''New''' button at the top of the Admin Bar or from the '''Dashboard > Fungi > Add New''' menu
#'''Title your post''' - use the Latin species name for your fungus (for the workshop create a fictitious fungus with the title starting with "Fake")
#*'''Note:''' the traditional post content area will actually display at the bottom of the page. This is where we're going to add image galleries instead.
#'''Publish''' your Fungus and then '''View Fungus''' to see how it looks

====Edit an existing fungus====
*From the public view of your Fungus, click the '''Edit Fungus''' button in the top Admin bar
*You can also navigate from your Dashboard to '''Fungi > All Fungi''' and hover over the fungus to '''Edit'''

====Input fungus data====
Beneath the top content area we will be putting the rest of our content into sections using WordPress Custom Fields. The process is very similar to filling out an online form.
# Look for the '''Input fungus data''' block and fill out the fields
# The first time you save fungus data you will click the '''Add Entry''' button at the bottom of the fields
# To save this fungus data with your fungus post you need to next '''Update''' the post
# Click '''Edit'' in the Fungus Data block to add/edit content to these fields
# to save your changes click '''Save Changes''' in the Fungus Data block AND '''Update''' in the publish block to update the entire post.

'''Things to note about adding Fungus Data:'''
*'''Important:''' Every time you make a change to your fungus data you will need to save your changes in two places: 1) the Fungus Data block 2) the Publish block
*The Photo for Microscopic or Chemical Characteristics will need to be sized prior to upload as it resides outside of the WordPress Media Library and does not give you the option to resize it after it's been uploaded.

====Fungus Categories and Morphologies====
* Along the right hand side of your Fungus post, select the appropriate fungus category and morphology
* A fungus may belong to more than one so check all that apply

====Adding Links====
#While editing a post, highlight the text you want to be a link
#Click the "add link" button
#Paste the URL you want to link to and click "Add Link"
