How to post news

A step-by-step guide

Have your assets done before you begin:

• Feature image (size 600 x 600 pixels, or 1:1 ratio)

• Author image(s) and links, if necessary

• News title, excerpt and full description

• A source link, if applicable

The assets done for the news section launch of this website are located in this Drop Box folder.

First, we are going to duplicate an existing post.

1 – Open News in a new browser tab.

2 – Choose a similar post to duplicate

Part two – Going through the ‘Settings’

Go to Part One | Go to Part Three

Now that we have a duplicate, let’s change its ‘Settings’

1 – Click ‘Settings’

2 – Change info in the ‘Content’ section

3 – Change info in the ‘Options’ section

Re tags: Think of tags as useful categories. For example, you have the announcement of the biography fellows every year. A useful tag for that would be ‘Biography Fellow Announcement [year]’. With a tag like that, we’d be able to quickly search or call all those types of announcements.

Part three – Changing the public news page

Go to Part One | Go to Part Two

Now that we are done with the backend settings, let’s change the frontend public news page

1 – Click ‘Edit’

2 – Replace text and images

Don’t forget to save the draft or to publish the post (top left)!

Done!
