Howdy! This is the first post on Food. Feed. Fed. and it’s directed at the blog’s contributors. If you’re a visitor, please be patient while we get this sucker started.
As a contributor, you’ll need to learn the ropes before you start to post. I’ll be posting brief tutorials on different aspects of the posting process as we get going, but for the most part you’ll want to refer to the WordPress Codex for how-to questions. This first post will go over how we should handle images.
General Guidelines
- All images should be 480 pixels wide, 72 dpi jpegs.
- You’ll need a place to upload images. If you’re comfortable with FTP, you can upload your images directly to the folder titled “uploaded_images” on the server using the personal account provided to you. Otherwise, you can use a service like tinypic or PhotoBucket.
- When uploading to WordPress, you’ll need to enter three variables in the formatting window that pops up. The first is the image URL (where you’ve uploaded the photo), the second is a plain text description of the photo (e.g. “Photo of stuffed squash blossoms with cheese”), and the third is to set the border to “0″ (zero). All other fields should be left blank.
That’s about it! It’s pretty simple, but if you have any questions and can’t find the answers in the Codex, just post a comment here or email me directly.
Happy posting!
