Creating a post is mostly self-explanatory, but we have a few suggestions for categorizing your posts and the best way to add photos to your posts.
- While logged into the admin interface, click the Write tab near the top of the screen.
- Give your post a title.
- In the “Categories” menu on the right, tick both the box next to the Assignment to which the post pertains and the box next to your name.
- Type the text of your post in the main box in the middle.

- To upload a photo, scroll down to the “Upload” section below where you typed your text.
- Click the “Browse” button to the right of the “File” field and select the photo you want to add (this works similarly to adding an attachment to an email).
- Give your photo a unique meaningful title in the “Title” field.
- Click the “Upload” button.

There a couple of important things to note here to make sure your photo displays properly.

- Keep “File” ticked next to “Link to:”.
- Make sure the cursor is blinking where you want to insert the photo in the window where you previously typed your text
- Click the “Send to editor” button.
