THINGS TO REMEMBER • You are in complete control of the appearance and content of your page (‘blog’) • You can include as much or as little of your research paper as you want --> if you want to add something that wasn’t in your paper, go for it! If there was an aspect of your paper that you hated, take it out! Ultimately, YOU are making the decision about how to present your work • You must ensure that you have the proper permissions for any image/videos, etc. (open-access sources) • Be resilient and resourceful! If you run into a technical problem, see if you can figure it out through a Wordpress forum or simply by Googling it. If you aren’t sure about photo permissions, contact the source. You will be evaluated on your ability to learn this new set of skills.
THINGS TO REMEMBER • You can remain anonymous if you wish – in that case, please clear it (and your username) with me beforehand • Even if you ‘publish’ your post, it will not be publicly visible until you tell me to make it public • I recommend making it public EARLY and getting feedback from as many people (friends, family, the internet in general) as possible à use the tools available to you! • You can change any aspect of your page up to the deadline; no evaluation will take place until then!
