Please post your final story in the Tributaries Magazine. In the email that you got from me on Nov 15th–you will find your password, Your username/email are the same as the 343 website: firstlast, and first.last@maine.edu
Featured Image
You will need an 800 X 600 pixel image for your story–it needs to be uploaded in your post in the featured image section. You should optimize this image, so it has 72 dpi, and also is no large than 200kb. You can do this by saving a duplicate of your image, and then using Preview to 1) crop to exactly 800X600, 2) Tools–> Adjust size, then set resolution to 72
Cropping will allow you to choose what part of the image you want to show, so don’t use the Adjust size dialogue to set the size. This will only work well if your proportions are the same in your original image.
Text
You can go to your original post in the class website, select the “text” tab, copy ALL the text; then create a new post in Tributaries, select the “text” tab, and then past. This will retain any shortcake, or Aesop Story code you added. Then you can edit as you would from the “Visual” tab.
Upload Images
Besides your featured image which shows up in the opening page of the website; you will also have images, video, audio, in your story, so be sure to optimize the images first (see above), then upload them to this site by using the “Add Media” button–which will bring you to the Media Library to upload. Keep images under 300kb, or less.
Aesop Components
Use the +Components button at the top of the post editor to add really cool story elements, like chapters, timelines, quotes, etc. Don’t forget to look at the Shortcodes button also for things like : Drop Caps, Highlight text, Animations etc.
We will show this during New Media Night.
