Insert MEDIA (2)

• Find your media, change the title to something visually appropriate

• If you are entering a PDF file or a downloadable file, click “File URL” before clicking “Insert into Post” (not Post URL)



Tips (1) – Visual or HTML

• The body section has two tabs – visual and HTML. Always edit in Visual (the default tab). You only need to use the HTML tab if you are pasting something in from another source (i.e., from Word, Pages, or other websites). Paste it into the HTML side and then switch back to Visual to edit it.



Tips (2) – Post Time Stamp

• Yours posts will show up in reverse order – the most recent post will be on the top. If you want a different order, you can trick the program by changing the date/time stamp on the post. Go to your list of posts, hover over the one you want to change, and click Quick Edit. Change the time as needed to reorder your post. You will probably only need to do this for your Overview tab.



Tips (3) - Post Time Stamp

• Similarly, you can enter posts ahead of time, and schedule them to go live later – just alter the timestamp (under Quick Edit, see first tip above) to your specified date/time in the future.



Tips (4) – Up to 10 Posts

• Each tab, Assignments, Classroom News, and Overview, will maintain up to 10 posts. After 10 posts, it will automatically archive the oldest one(s). Next year you will be able to access them for updating and re-posting if you wish.



Tips (5) – Insert “More” Tag

• If your entry is too long, consider inserting a break with a “read more” button. Simply enter the entire text that you want, then place the cursor where you want the break, and click the Insert More tag (Alt-Shift-T) from the top row of icons, next to the anchor.
