  3. Enter UD Email and Choose Blog Name

  4. Choose a FREE blog

  5. Create a Searchable Title

  6. Choosing Themes Once you create the blog, choose a theme that is both visually appealing and designed to meet the needs of the project.

  7. Choosing Themes Choose a simple theme like Twenty Ten to start off. Don’t worry. You can always change your theme at a later date.

  8. Choosing Themes Once you choose a theme, you can customize the title.

  9. Customize Your Theme Latest Posts allows you to post regular annou-ncements straight to the homepage

  10. Customize Your Theme Enter the title and tagline for your site.

  11. Managing Your Sites Navigate your blogs All the formatting options can be found on the Dashboard.

  12. Managing Your Sites Add new pages to the website (see slide 14) Appearance allows you to change the way your site looks. Widgets are really cool. Add a Facebook or Twitter feed to your homepage. Change the header to a custom image. Make sure your site is Mobile friendly.

  13. Customizing Your Theme Now that we have the Theme and a catchy background image, let’s start thinking about building pages.

  14. Adding Pages Add New Pages here. When you add a new page, it will automatically show up on the menu bar (unless you tell it otherwise).

  15. Adding Pages Familiarize yourself with the text options. You can customize headings, insert links, or add media. No Parent will put the page on the menu bar. Sub-pages can be nested by choosing a parent page. The Title as it will appear on the menu bar.

  16. Adding Pages Notice that the “Critics” page is now on the Menu, along with some others I added.

  17. Adding Subpages Choose an existing page as a “Parent”. Nest new pages under parents to create a dropdown menu.

  18. Adding Subpages When you nest pages under a Parent, it will create a dropdown menu.

  19. Menu Bar The pages will automatically appear in alphabetical order. To change this, go to the Menu option under the Appearance tab.

  20. Menu Bar Click and drag pages to organize them to your liking. Pages will “lock” into place.

  21. Menu Bar Navigation Labels are what users will see on the menu bar. Change long page titles to succinct abbreviations.

  22. Menu Bar HOWEVER…if you alter the menu in any way, you will need to select that menu as you preference. This is a good thing, because you can create multiple menus and only use the one that works best for this project.

  23. Menu Bar

  24. Menu Bar

  25. Menu Bar

  26. Menu Bar Add up to three levels of sub-pages. Notice that the pages are no longer organized alphabetically.

  27. Adding Media…Just Drag It The Media tab on the Dashboard allows you to add New Media, including pictures and PowerPoints. Just Click and Drag from a folder on your computer.

  28. Credit Your Media WAIT!!! You can’t add anything you find on the internet. Find materials in the public domain on the Wikimedia Commons. Be sure to give credit to the sources of your media.

  29. Credit Your Media Clicking on any uploaded media will give you the option to credit the media and include a caption.

  30. Link to Other Pages The chain link allows you to link to other pages, including pages you created for this site.

  31. In conclusion… I’ll add material to this PowerPoint as needed. However, the basic steps for getting started are all here. If someone in your group finds this technology to be intuitive, then consider electing he or she as the point-person for the website.
