Linking To PPT – Discussion Leader How To

Discussion leaders in COM 300 should place a link to their PPT on their COM300 ‘home page’.

Watch these two clips if you don’t remember how (we did this in class, practice lab!). You’ll need to log in to your WordPress blog as well as Catalyst SimpleSite.

Students are also required to create a “course page” that has information about their class project and the article that they bring to class when it’s their turn to lead discussion.

How To Upload An Image In WP

This post is “how to” insert an image into a WordPress blog post.

First, if the image is not yet hosted on a webserver somewhere, you need to upload it to WordPress or to an image hosting site such as Flickr or PhotoBucket.

The “upload to WordPress” is easy — look at the bottom of your blog post window: there is an “upload” tab. Browse your harddrive and find your image (this is web-based FTP). Be sure your cursor is where you want the image to appear when you do this step! [Note: you have only 50 MB of free space at WordPress -- if you're going to use images frequently, you'll want to host them on an external website.]
