Website How-Tos

How to post a story and/or photo(s)

• Log in to your site’s dashboard at http://sites.lufkinisd.org/XXXXX/wp-admin/index.php (Replace XXXXX with the campus — like kurth or lhs or lms)
• Click “New post” at the top of the page
• Give the post a headline in the “Enter title here” field at the top
• Enter your text in the large text window; you can use bold, italics, bulleted lists, pull quotes and links
• Place your photo(s) on the page
• Give the post one or more “Categories” by checking the boxes on the right side of the page; be sure to use “Homepage Featured” if you want the post to show up at the top of your website’s front page
• Feel free to add “Tags” below “Categories” (Example: One of the categories may be “Athletics” and the tag can be “Football”)
• Set the Featured Image; this is the photo that will show up at the top of your front page (if it’s a “Homepage Featured” post) and in the thumbnails of other post lists … Tip: Horizontal photos work best as the Featured Image
• Press the “Publish” button on the right
• Check your post with the “View post” link at the top of the page
• Go to your “Posts” (on the left side of the page) to make any necessary changes
