Creating Your e-Portfolio
Two Kinds of Wordpress Content
Posts
- Update continuously to your front page
Dynamic and constantly changing
The daily record of your blog
Appear in reverse chronological order
Appear in your RSS feed
Pages
- Serve static functions on your blog
Used to display unchanging information
Display independent of chronology
Do not appear in your RSS feed
Great for creating a table of contents
Making your e-Portfolio Table of Contents
Step 1
- Collect the URLs of all your portfolio pieces
Open the e-Portfolio Template linked from our SI Blog
Open your blog in another window
Read through your blog posts, finding pieces for your portfolio
Type the title of your portfolio piece on the template
Click to open the blog post
Copy the URL from the address bar
Paste the URL onto the template
Each URL should look like this - http://iannolte.wordpress.com/2009/06/23/how-i-made-my-digital-story/
- Be sure to save your Template to your thumb drive
Step 2
- Create a new page on your blog
Log in to your blog
Go to the dashboard
Click on “Pages” and “Add New” - Give your new page the title “e-Portfolio Table of Contents”
Create an outline of your Table of Contents - Here are two examples:
http://iannolte.wordpress.com/e-portfolio-table-of-contents/
http://amandaraehensley.wordpress.com/table-of-contents - To create a link, highlight the text on your page you’d like to turn into a link
- Click the “Insert/Edit Link” button on your tool bar
- From your template, paste the URL of your piece into the box that opens
Set the target to “Open in New Window”
Click “Insert” and you’ve got a link. - Repeat this process until you’ve linked to all the pieces for your portfolio
- Be sure to publish your page when you’re finished.
