You may have notice a few changes to our Section Blog; the main one is that the homepage is now the main blog page. New (and “Sticky”) posts are still at the top, but the increased number of posts has made it more of a scroll to find older posts. So…
In the navigation bar you can now find pre-defined filters that will display selected blog posts based on their Tags (and similarly their Categories).
This makes it ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL that you properly Tag and Categorize your posts. As a reminder of how to do this, below is a portion of the Phase 0: Introduction assignment post. Please review and make sure your past and future posts are properly Tagged and Categorized. Note that you’ll be updating the phase as appropriate.
In the image below you can see my example post is nearly complete and the menu-bar to the right is on Document, not Block (it automatically shifts to Block when you have a block active for editing).
Look for the Categories tab and expand it. I have created the categories:
- assignment
- documentation
- instructions
- precedents
Posts of your work will always be categorized as “documentation” so even though this isn’t exactly a project, check that box.
Below the Categories tab is Tags. For all of your posts I’d like you to use the tags of your name, the phase, the class, and the semester. After the first time a tag is used you won’t need to recreate it; WordPress will suggest tags for you as you start typing so these tags all exist except for your name.
