We’ve recently set up a service where anyone with an @district6.org email address can sign up for a blog and have one automatically created. This is much easier than the previous setup where we needed to set blogs up one-by-one, which was very time consuming.
To get started: Just go to http://www.district6.org/, go to the “For Staff” dropdown, and click “Blog Login.” Enter your D6 username/password, and you’ll be logged into the Wordpress dashboard.
From there, you can use the tutorial on making a post in WordPress that Chuck made. This is just a short (10 minute) tutorial on adding a post to a new wordpress blog, including pictures. The pace is easy to follow, and you can rewind or skip through the video if you need to see something again.
While Wordpress does function in Internet Explorer or other browsers like Safari, we recommend using the Firefox web browser to log into this. If you don’t already have it, you can download and install Firefox from http://mozilla.com/.
Enjoy! And feel free to email us with any questions about WordPress, or respond in the comments.
