Better to work off-line using whatever word program you choose (Word, Pages, Text Pad, etc.) BUT DO NOT FORMAT your text when working off-line. Add formatting once you cut and paste your thoughts into the browser. See notes about adding video, photos, and documents below.<\/li>\n<li>Select a category.\u00a0There are multiple categories you can choose from and you can pick multiple categories if you want, but there must be at least one selected in order for your post\/reflection to appear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you have done these three things, hit \u201cPublish\u201d in the upper right-hand corner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adding Video, Photos, and Documents<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Add any of the above AFTER you have your text in the browser and formatted.<\/li>\n<li>You can put your cursor wherever in the text you want the item (video, photo, link to document) to appear.<\/li>\n<li>With videos, you can go to YouTube (or Vimeo, etc.) and copy the URL. Past the URL on ITS OWN LINE, SEPARATE FROM YOUR TEXT and the video will be embedded. If you past the URL\u00a0 within your text (e.g. at the end of a sentence), it will not embed the video and the URL will not even hyperlink.<\/li>\n<li>To add photos and\/or documents, hit the \u201cAdd Media\u201d button above the text box and you\u2019ll see there is an \u201cUpload Files\u201d and \u201cMedia Library\u201d option. You can use the \u201cUpload Files\u201d to add photos or other documents (e.g. examples of projects\/work you are doing \u2013 PDF, Word, Excel formats). With photos, you should always select the largest possible image; UR Blogs will then create different sizes of the image within the system (media library) that you can use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>To Edit Posts<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you are on your post\/reflection (in View Site) you can select the Edit button, which will take you to the full post where you can edit anything.<\/li>\n<li>You can also select \u201cAll Posts\u201d on the left hand side and you\u2019ll see all the posts you\u2019ve written (this is when it is good for posts to have creative\/distinct titles). You can choose Edit, which takes you to the full post where you can edit, or you can select Quick Edit, which allows you to make quick title changes and to change category(ies) for your post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>GENERAL INFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are having difficulty with UR Blogs you can contact Ryan Brazell (rbrazell@richmond.edu\u00a0or\u00a0(804) 287-6657 or Dr. Soderlund.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>UR Blogs works on phones, iPads and other tablets and it will seldom be down for any service.<br \/>\nThe Jepson Internship blog is closed to only those Jepson juniors completing their internship requirement, it is not open to the public or others in the UR community.<\/li>\n<li>You can read others\u2019 posts and you should \u2013 you might find that others are experiencing similar challenges (or triumphs) as you and you might want to communicate with each other or comment on one another\u2019s posts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To add a post\/reflection \u2013 you can click on the \u201c+New\u201d button along the top or click on the \u201cPosts\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":940,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4881","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/940"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4881"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4881\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4883,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4881\/revisions\/4883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
