Welcome! This site is yours to build. Here is a quick tour of how to use it.
1. Logging In
Go to /wp-admin/ on your site and sign in with the username and password your teacher gave you. Always log out when you leave a shared computer.
2. Pages vs. Posts
- Pages are permanent — About, Portfolio, Contact. They do not have dates.
- Posts are journal entries — project write-ups, updates, stories. They appear on the Blog page newest first.
3. Adding Media
Use Media → Add New to upload photos and video. You have 1 GB of space per site, so choose your best work and clean out rejects.
4. Editing Your Site
Two tools are available:
- Classic Editor — the simple editor, good for posts and text pages.
- Elementor — drag-and-drop page builder for beautiful layouts. Open a page, click Edit with Elementor.
5. Publishing Workflow
- Write your content.
- Click Preview to see how it looks.
- Click Publish when you are happy.
6. Organizing with Categories and Tags
Use Categories for big topics (Portfolio, Blog, Guides) and Tags for details (portrait, landscape, video). It keeps your site easy to browse.
7. House Rules
- Keep everything school-appropriate.
- Never post photos of other people without their permission. Respect matters — ask first.
- Do not share personal contact details publicly.
Your First Task
Edit the About page and replace the placeholders with your own introduction. Then write your first blog post about something you created this week.
