Your Assignment
You will generate content for a fungus post on the “Fungi Evergreen” website. The content will include text and images ...
Getting Started
- Getting Started with WordPress - What is WordPress and how is it being used at Evergreen?
- 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
Writing and Managing your content
Adding a new fungus
See the Example fungus for details on what is to be included in each section of your fungus post
- Title your post - use the Latin species name for your fungus (for the workshop create a fictitious fungus with the title starting with "Fake")
- Content Area - will actually display at the bottom of the page. This is where we're going to add image galleries.
Input fungus data
Beneath the top content area we will be putting the rest of our content into collapsible sections using WordPress Custom Fields
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"
Adding Images
File management: we will all be sharing a single media library. Make sure to use a unique file naming convention. Start your files with your species and it will be easy to find all files related to your species.
- Example: Amanita_muscaria1.jpg
- Insert an image - add an image to the body of a post
- Adding captions to cite your image sources
- Creative Commons images from WikiMedia Commons is a great place to start. Once you find an image you'd like to use click the "Use this file on the web" link. Copy the "Attribution" (HTML) text and paste into your image's caption.
- Set your featured image for all posts. Featured images will appear on the category pages.
Additional Resources
- Wordpress.com Getting Started Tutorials - these tutorials are for working on wordpress.com but is nearly identical to using WordPress at blogs.evergreen.edu
- Lynda.com (on-campus) WordPress 3 Essential Training - this is another training geared towards using Wordpress.com but if you skip the account setup portion most of the rest is relavent to blogs.evergreen.edu
