Guidelines for wordpress posts

1. Take GOOD photographs of your work. Include one with you with the work. Here are some tips on photographing your work with a smartphone https://willkempartschool.com/how-to-photograph-your-paintings-with-your-iphone/
2. Sign in to your Wordpress site and go to the dashboard
3. Click on Posts and Add New. Enter a title for your post. Personalize this and make it something more interesting than “Ideation Worksheet.” Think of the title as a “mini-reflection” on the assignment. For example it could be “An experiment in paying attention” but I’m sure you can come up with more interesting titles. 
4. Add your images. Click “Add Media” and drag and drop your image files into the media library. Checkmark all the images that you want to include in your post, set the image size to “Large” and click “Insert into Post.” You can add additional reflections or comments here if you like.
5. Add sr-studio category. Under categories click “Add New Category” and enter “sr-studio” to create the sr-studio category. Checkmark the sr-studio category. Once you’ve made the sr-studio category you don’t need to do it again. Next time you post you can just select it from the list. 
6. Add the project category. You will need to make a new category for each project post. Click “Add New Category” and enter “reflection” or whatever the project is that you are categorizing (it’s specified at the beginning of each project.) Checkmark the project category.
   Note: It is VERY important that the category spelling is IDENTICAL to what is listed on the project outline or the post will not be fed onto the course site. No extra spaces, no different punctuation, no “_” instead of “-” Double check your categories to ensure they are accurate.
7. Set a Featured Image. Below categories you will see the “Featured Image” option. Click “Set Featured Image” to select an image. I suggest you choose the strongest image from the project as this will show up on our class gallery page. 
8. Click publish.
