Many thanks to everyone who posted links to their new blogs in the comments! I have linked them all in the sidebar to the right.
If anyone would like to add their link, just post it in the comments and I will be happy to oblige.
I see that many of you have questions about how to post pictures. I always post pictures in my blog from Flickr, and have never used the WordPress “media library,” which is a rather new feature of wordpress, actually.
Let’s try!
…
OK, well that seemed to work just fine. I uploaded an image by clicking the photo icon next to the words “Add Media” in the Write Post taskbar. Then I filled out the information it asked for (I didn’t bother with a caption or description, since they weren’t required, however these are undoubtedly good to fill out, as they are probably stored as metadata, which helps Google do its job).
Then I chose the location I wanted, and hit submit, and the image went right to where I had left my cursor when I started the process. So of course you have to first place your cursor within your post right where you are going to want to place your image, then click “Add Media.”
If you’re still having problems with images, or any other related bloggy item, just let me know, either in the comments or at the beginning of class next week.
Thank you again for all the enthusiastic comments and congratulations to all you first-time bloggers! Now, I’m off to read your blogs!
Hi Beth,
A couple of things. Great presentation at Geek Girls. Informative, funny and inspiring! Thank you for the link to Tina’s art blog. And Last but not least, I did not know you are a Mount Holyoke grad. My daughter is graduating from there this May. So now that I have left a comment am I linked?
Holly
And as it turns out, I will be at MHC this May for my 15-year reunion! So we can sprint joyfully across Skinner Green together!
Yes, I am a proud Mount Holyoke grad. I loved every single millisecond of my time at MHC, and would recommend it to anyone who asked.
How has your daughter liked it?
Hey Beth,
Both the blog and the website are a little rough but I have had just about 2 weeks to get both going along with actually moving in and setting up the new studio space at the Shirley Blair Flynn Center for the Creative Arts (whew!, isn’t that a mouthful!). On top of teaching full time and trying to attend WYSCC every week, I think overall it’s not bad.
I figured that I ought to have you post the link for what it’s worth or what would be the point of being in an arts marketing class. bwaystack@wordpress.com and http://www.innerpearlstudio.com
Thanks,
Bern
P.S. Enjoying following Tina and reading Alyson’s blog. It certainly helped push me to post this comment.
