(Note: To create a new post, start by selecting +New on the menu at the top of the blog and drop down to select Post.)


Preparing your images for upload:
• use jpg images with correct orientation and try to keep resolution at max dimensions between 1200-2000 pixels

• use a standard prefix so they’ll be grouped together in the media library for easier location. (Ex. Jason’s photo)

• have your files in a folder on the desktop so you can drag and drop them into your gallery


Setting up an Image gallery:
• when creating a block for images, use the gallery uploads instead of singular image posts 

• reorder image appearance in the gallery if needed

• select number of columns ( 2 or more is preferred)

• choose crop/do not crop for the thumbnail images

• make sure to link to> media file so that images can be enlarged from thumbnail view

• title your thumbnails in the gallery for easier identification and feedback


Document settings:

• select appropriate categories (ie your name & assignment name) for easier viewing in main menu

• choose a featured image from your media library to display on the main blog screen
