Also worth looking at is this overview video on Youtube by NuuVidea NOTE: This brief tutorial requires that you have already set up and activated your Wordpress website. For more details on how to set up a Wordpress website, see the setup guide. If you can view this text you will have already uploaded the XML file and so can ignore the first step of this how-to and jump straight to step 2 - choosing a theme for your blog.

STEP 1 - IMPORTING THE XML FILE

From your blog dashboard, head to TOOLS > IMPORT Select Wordpress from the list of blogs Locate the XML file that you wish to upload and click upload file and import Tick the Import Attachments box and click Submit Shortly after clicking Submit, you will recieve an email confirming the upload, you can check the upload has worked by clicking on the blog link in the email

STEP 2 - CHOOSING A THEME FOR YOUR BLOG

A blog's 'theme' i essentialy a skin and controls the look of the website. Different themes have different options and appearances so find out which one works best for you. Click on Appearance > Themes

You will be presented with a gallery of themes to choose from

Once you have found a suitable Theme, you can activate it or preview and then activate

STEP 3 - USING PAGES

Pages can be added and removed easily on your blog and are designed to seperate your traditional blog timeline from other information. Pages cannot be 'posted' to and are best thought of as 'static' pages To manage your pages click on Pages on the left hand side of your dashboard, you will be presented with a list of your pages. From here you can add, remove and edit pages

Clicking on one of your pages will open up an editing page where you can insert a title, text, images and so on. Once you have finished simply click on Publish/Update and the page will be saved

STEP 4 - CREATING POSTS

The main feature of your blog is to regularly post items to your followers and peers. The way to do this is through posts which will appear in a time-line on your blog, with the most recent displaying at the top. To manage posts and create new ones, click on Posts In the post management screen you can add, remove and edit posts, just as you can in the Pages screen To add a new Post click on Add new The post editing screen will load and just like the pages tool you can add your title, text and any other images you require before clicking publish for your post to go live ]]> 29 2011-09-20 12:05:10 2011-09-20 11:05:10 open open how-to-2 publish 0 0 page 0 _wp_page_template _edit_last _edit_lock CU RESOURCES http://testcumediacomms.wordpress.com/cu/ Tue, 20 Sep 2011 11:05:49 +0000 http://capellarecruitment.wordpress.com/ STUDENTS: Below are links to several essential CU websites that contain information on your course, staff and University services.
