Blogging

=Steps for uploading text and information to your blog.=

1. Go to the [|YHS Photo Blog], Log in with the account you created in class. 2. Click on "Write a post". 3. Create a title that will accurately describe what your post is about. 4. Copy and paste your post (you should have previously typed the post in a Microsoft Word document because the blog does not have a spell check function).There is a formatting tool bar located above the text box that allows you to create effects such as italicizing, bolding, underlining, and centering (etc.) font. When you are finished inserting your pictures and have made sure your text is correct, click the button at the bottom right corner of the web page labeled "Save". Then click the button next to the "Save" button labeled "Upload" and it should show up on your profile.
 * Inserting Pictures**:
 * 1) If the picture is in iPhoto: share>export>scale largest measurement to 340 and save to the desktop.
 * 2) If the picture is in a Microsoft Word document, control or apple click on the image and save it to the desktop.
 * 3) Below the text box there is a "upload" function. Click "Browse" and find the photo you want to insert in your post (it should be saved on your computer).
 * 4) If you want to create a title or description for the photo, that can be done: type what you want in the text boxes labeled "Title" and "Description".
 * 5) Click "upload". Depending on your teacher's directions, choose whether the picture will be the size of a thumbnail or a full size photo. Once the photo is inserted in the post, you are capable of resizing the photo by grabbing (clicking and dragging) the corner of the photo and stretching or downsizing the photo.
 * 6) Click the button, "send to editor".
 * 7) **SAVE YOUR POST AFTER EVERY PICTURE YOU UPLOAD!**
 * Happy blogging!**
