What did I learn :

  • there is an ‘ethical’ and ‘unethical’ way — but lets all be ethical for a better day ahead 🙂
  • when you update, your results are not immediately shown. Need time for indexing.
    • one way is to ask Google to index it.
    • How to get your content on Google –> find this site, and add yours.
  • to enhance pages do the following:
    • treat it like a blog  – write a little a day
    • upload your papers and articles – but be aware of copyrights
    • upload your student exercises, notes, events, activities — preferably in .pdf ( not sure if other document types are counted) >>update: it counts!
    • upload images of your students’ work; and every image is considered a page (woohoo!!!) 😀
    • if desperate for content (really desperate….)
      • visit creative common and share [*** with creative common, authors waive their copyright, but read carefully as some may want their contribution to be mentioned]
      • Check this out for more info: Creative Commons
  • Post vs Page
    • Pages are static : these are the links you have
    • Posts are dynamic : you can set the category to your posts
      • when you create a category, it will be have a link created for it.
  • Important: know to use post, page and appearance for a very positive step forward.
  • Appearance, as its name, is about your page appearance. So edit as you please, because your page is you.
    • Word of the wise: edit what you know, step carefully.
  • Menu: you can edit and add:
    Setting the Front Page of choice

    Setting the Front Page of choice

    • page, post, custom links (url to the Internet) and categories (blog style)
  • You can set the front page to be your latest post or a certain page : you can choose and customize (ref.: Static Front Page)
  • Adding a file:
    • Go to Add Media (** you can find the button near the top of the page)
  • Colours, headers, bold, italics :  all can be found in the toolbar.
