How do I make a link to another site?

rte-link1.png

  1. Write the text you want people to click to get to the other site.
  2. You need to highlight the text you want to link. That might be by using SHIFT and the arrow keys, or SHIFT and the left mouse button or maybe another way for your computer.
  3. Click the icon that looks like a chain link
  4. A window will popup. Enter the address. You can choose if the link opens in a new window or not. If you enter a Title then when someone hovers a link with their mouse a ‘tooltip’ will appear with some text (try it and see).
  5. Click Insert
  6. Now click the icon like a broken chain.

That’s all there is to it.

More on how to use “categories”

June 24, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Categories help you to file your posts and comments into specific discussion threads.  Make sure to file your post under one or more categories or create a new category for your post.  There are two ways to create new categories:

 1) You can add a category under the “categories” menu on the right hand side of the new post window when before you publish a new post.  NOTE: you can not create a subcategory using this option

2) You can create new categories and subcategories through the Dashboard.  Go to:

      Dashboard>Manage>Categories>Add New

      Add a new category. 

      To make it a subcategory, select a category parent.

The advantages to using the Category menu of the Dashboard are that you do not have to create a post to create a new category and you can create subcategories.

In order to create a post, follow these steps.

1) Go to http://testblog07.wordpress.com. This is the blog’s home page.

2) Click on “New Post” at the top of the page.

3) From here, simply fill in the boxes with your post’s title, the post itself, and any uploads you would like to include (such as photos).  Please BE SURE to give the post a title, because if you don’t, readers won’t be able to tell its relevance.

4) Select one of the categories on the right side of the page. If your post doesn’t fit one of the existing categories, create your own by typing it in the box and clicking “Add”.

The [Blacks in the Media Working Group][1] is a consortium of scholars and activists from
Cornell
University and the
Ithaca, NY community dedicated to addressing the representation of Afro-diasporic peoples in the public sphere as it relates to the goal of social justice.  This group emerged in the spring of 2007 in response to a series of media events which brought to light the persistence of racism and sexism in the public consciousness, the mass media’s complicity in this phenomenon, as well as the new and particular questions about representation facing the black community.  As a response to the dominant culture’s apparent silencing of a nuanced, representative critical voice from the perspective of black people, and especially black women, in the publicized debate over these issues, the [Blacks in the Media Working Group] has emerged as a think tank dedicated to coordinated efforts to make our perspectives known.  Since the group is comprised of members who possess specialized and advanced knowledge about the issues at hand, we feel that as a group we can address the historical, cultural, and theoretical nuances of the public debates that reference us with a level of accuracy and sophistication that the dominant channels of the infotainment telesector currently lack.
