How to post your first blog post--please read!

Hi everyone! This is Ella. Instead of working on a project oriented toward historical research/analysis of the covid-19 pandemic, I've been working on the website that will house all blog entries and eventually all of the projects as well. My thesis on my project (per prompt #1) is that it is integral to the success of the project to create an intuitive, easy to navigate, accessible site for both the audience and the creators. I was compelled to make the site my project as I already have fairly extensive experience with Wix and felt that not only was I well-suited to take this on, but also that I was interested in working to create and design the platform that all of the projects depended on. Moving on, it's a little difficult to get onto the site to post for the first time. After having workshopped with Lily, here are the instructions on how to post your first blog post. Before you can write a blog post, you need to become a member. Using the link Ms. Smith will send you, enter the website. Then, leave the website, type the URL "wildcatdigitalhistory.com" into a new tab, and go to the drop-down menu by "log in" in the top right corner. Log in with your google account for your Westwood email. Next, go to the blog page. This is under "More" in the top right--hover over it and it will appear. Select the option to create a blog post. This will ask you if you'd like to make your account public, and you need to say yes. Now, to write a blog post. Go to the blog tab and create a new post. Chose a title, fill the page with text, and insert a photo to serve as your cover. Once you are done with this, open "Settings" and write an excerpt for your post. Do not set as featured post--I'm using that tool for this post to make it easily accessible for anyone who might need it. Lastly, go to the "Categories" button and file your post under whichever category you feel the post qualifies as--this first prompt will make it "process". If anyone has thoughts on adding, organizing, or editing categories, please feel free to let me know. Likely the categories will end up being the categories of cultural analysis, but that depends to an extent on future blog prompts. After you've posted, go to the "members" page on the website and edit your name to your full name and feel free to add a profile picture. In the "about" section state any information you feel is pertinent, including a brief description of your project. You can look at my profile for an example if you'd like. If you have any problems, email me or Ms. Smith (preferably us both!) and I'll help you to rectify it. Good luck all!
