This assignment will serve as a cumulative test grade on the knowledge you have learned thus far. You will be adding 2 posts and 1 page to your website. You may reference your notes and websites, but not each other (except if you need help copying and pasting or finding images on the iPad – that is a new skill).
Follow the steps below to create your posts and pages:
Post 1
- On your iPad, take a picture of the outside through the window
- Create a post, title it “Picture Theory”
- Add the image you took on your iPad to the post
- Under the picture, type a short paragraph ( 3 sentences ) about what ISO is and if the picture you took could benefit from changing the ISO.
- Create a second paragraph block, type a short paragraph ( 3 sentences ) explaining what changing aperture would do to an image
- Publish the post
The above steps 4 and 5 must contain accurate information about ISO and aperture.
Post 2
- Find a video from the WordPress YouTube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpJf6LGZ0a4n9Lj4aVt9spg - Copy the web address of the video
- Create a new post, title it “Using WordPress”
- Embed the YouTube video
- Under the video, type a sentence that will encourage someone to watch the video
- Under the sentence, put a link to https://www.wordpress.org
- Publish the post
Page
You will be making a donate page with PayPal buttons so people can send you money.
- Copy the button text from this page:
https://www.tocsweb.com/patrickfranklin/2020/11/13/paypal-sandbox-password/
The text to copy is in the grey box - Create a page, title it “Donate”
- Write a short sentence asking for a donation
- Make one of your words bold
- Make one of your words italics
- Make a new block and change it to the correct type to accept html code, then paste the text you just copied
- Publish the page
- Visit your WordPress page. Make sure the page is visible in your site’s top navigation. If it isn’t, you’ll need to add it to your WordPress menu
