DoD and ROAR Formatting and Blogging Tipsheet
Created 3/1/2011
1. When someone logs into your website,
the first thing they’ll see is your
“ABOUT” page
a. This page needs to be
formatted to tell the purpose of
your group / the website / why
are you on the web?
b. What makes your organization
unique? Why should anyone be
interested in reading your
material out of the billions of
webpages that are out there?
i. HOOK them in!
2. Both the ‘Drown Out Drama’ and
‘ROAR’ sites are hosted by NNPS
Community
a. If you need to learn more about
how the blog sites work, click
on the ‘Helping Hand’ tab for
How-To videos
i. Check out the videos on
the difference between
‘Pages’ and ‘Posts’-
VERY important to
understand
3. What’s the difference between a PAGE
and a POST?
a. PAGES hold content that will
not change that much during
the year, or that won’t have
many comments from viewers
i. An example of a PAGE
would be the ABOUT
page (Introduction)
ii. You don’t want to have
more than a few PAGES
on a website because
they are displayed
across the top of the
website (crowded)
DoD and ROAR Formatting and Blogging Tipsheet
Created 3/1/2011
b. POSTS are the fundamental
way to manage your blog.
c. There are two ways to add
POSTS:
d. The fastest way is to use the
QUICKPRESS area
i. Type in a title, type in
the content- you can
even add images, video
or sound files by
clicking the ‘Add
Media’ buttons.
ii. Then click ‘Publish’ and
go to the site to view
your post
4. The second method gives you greater
control over formatting and
categorizing (we will need categorizing
on our sites)
5. In the Dashboard Left Nav window, go
to Posts and click on Add New.
6. In this area, you create a new Post.
a. Type a tile in the box, and some
text in the edit box.
b. You can highlight the text and
then change the formatting
using the buttons above
c. You can also embed videos, add
files and categorize your post
to help visitors search for it
later on
7. Because both DoD and ROAR will have
specific topics, we need to be sure that
we have categorized our posts, and
a. Make sure your posts are
categorized by their topic
DoD and ROAR Formatting and Blogging Tipsheet
Created 3/1/2011
8. Since the topics that we will use as
categories are not present, we need to
‘Add New Category’- click there
a. Type in the name of the needed
category, then click Add
b. When you create a post, be
sure to check the appropriate
category, so that all posts with
the same topic are grouped
together.
9. Adding Media:
a. You can add videos,
PowerPoints, documents- just
about anything you need to a
Post
b. Under the title is the ‘Add
Media’ button
c. Adds an image
d. Adds video that has been
uploaded to your media library
e. Adds audio- like a
podcast- after it has been
uploaded to your media library
f. Adds ‘Media’- a generic
way to add PPTs, documents or
any other form of non-specific
media to your post.
i. Whichever you click,
first you’ll need to
navigate to where the
file is on your computer
ii. When the file is
uploaded, you’ll be
able to choose what to
do with it
DoD and ROAR Formatting and Blogging Tipsheet
Created 3/1/2011
10. Once the media is added you have
multiple options:
a. Add a caption to the picture /
file / video
b. Choose the alignment (left /
center / right) of how it will
appear in the text of the post
c. Choose the size
d. Be SURE to leave as ‘Insert into
Post’
i. This embeds the media
file directly into your
Post.
ii. Click ‘Save all changes’
11. If you have created a podcast or video
file, you will need to upload that to the
Medial Library before following steps
9 & 10 to add the file to your post
a. To add files to the Media
Library, go to the Dashboard
and click on Media > Library
b. At the top of the Media Library,
click on Add New
c. Just like you browsed for the
media files, you’ll need to
browse for the podcast, upload
it to the Media Library, then
add it to your post.
12. When you upload a podcast .mp3 file,
the computer recognizes it as an .mp3
file.
a. Be sure the name is correct and
what you want the public to see
b. Caption: What is this about? A
‘hook’ to grab their attention
c. Description: A brief description
of what your podcast covers
d. URL- COPY this- you will need it
DoD and ROAR Formatting and Blogging Tipsheet
Created 3/1/2011
How to add your podcast to your post:
13. Once you have uploaded your media
files, created and uploaded your
podcast, then go back into your post to
edit it. CLICK WHERE YOU WANT THE
PODCAST TO GO IN YOUR POST.
a. Scroll down the page and you’ll
see a ‘Podcasting’ heading
b. Where it says URL, paste in the
address that was posted in the
Media Library
c. Leave it set to ‘Default format’
and click “add’
d. If you add the podcast .mp3 file
as an audio file, it will open in
another window and play as a
QuickTime file.
Formatting Your Blog:
14. Think about how you want your page to
look for each topic.
a. Remember- there should be
very few PAGES on the blog.
Most information will be in
POSTS.
b. Posts will group together
automatically and look like a
PAGE if they are placed in the
same CATEGORY.
c. What information do you think
is important for the community
to know?
i. Be sure to include that
information in your
POSTS
Title of Posts- What are the grouped as?
Links to websites or
info about topic
Video on topic
Description of
topic, why it’s
important for us to
know about it,
include a link to
podcast
Each box is a
separate POST.
The posts
group together
and look like a
PAGE because
they are all in
the same
CATEGORY.
Think about
what info is
valuable that
you want to
share, and how

your folder, and open the PDF file with the test. They will read the test on the computer screen.

Prezify your PowerPoint or Keynote Slides Back to Learn
Use the “Print” option in the middle of the editor screen to create handouts for your audience. In PreziDesktop, there is a "print" option in your
window menu bar as well under “File”. When you click Print, your prezi will be converted to a PDF document, where every path step will be one
document page. The exported PDF will also include an overview page of your whole prezi.
If using a projector to show your prezi, note that the screen resolution will change once the projector is plugged in. Therefore, it's best to resize
your downloaded prezi or browser window before plugging in the projector. Once you have projected your prezi, click Fullscreen to maximize
the viewing experience. You can also plan ahead while creating your prezi. Most laptops are wide screen, but most projectors use the 4:3
aspect ratio. Hold down shift while drawing a frame (bracket or rectangular) to keep the ratio at 4:3 - so you can see exactly how prezi will
appear on a projector.
When you want to reuse the content from slides in a prezi and you don’t have access to the original artwork or data, you can take a screenshot
of part of the slide. On a Mac, use the Command+Shift+4 to select a section of the screen. The resulting file will be placed on your desktop as
a .png file and can be uploaded to your prezi via Insert/Load File. On a PC, use the Alt+PrintScreen and the Snipping Tool.
