Posting to a page in the wordpress blog system
Users can write pages BUT pages work outside of the chronological order of the blog. Pupils will therefore mainly post directly to the blog. Pages may be used for another purpose eg a project or activity write up.

Adding pictures
Pictures are uploaded and then dragged to the editor window.

Options and Settings
Discussion options – untick usual setting for article
Removed unneeded links
Created a link on the blogroll to allow pupils to post more easily. URL copied from post option and added as a link.

Categories
Categories have been created for various subjects and ‘emotions’ eg positive and negative. When pupils post to the blog they tick the relevant categories. The blog can then be filtered by category.

Attributing Posts
Because pupils are all logging on as the same user to post entries there isn’t an automatic way to know who has posted what. Pupils will be asked to inital their entries in the main title.
