Creating+your+Info.+Tools+Portfolio+at+Wordpress.com

=Why are we creating a portfolio?= Our Info. Tools portfolio will be a way to display and keep track of our work and activities from this year. Think of your portfolio as an online resume, one that gives examples of the work you have done, your experiences and interests.

With that in mind, a few rules for your portfolio:


 * Your portfolio must look professional. Pictures of llamas or cats or cats riding on llamas are not what we are looking for here.


 * Your portfolio should present you in the best light possible. When describing yourself, do not write that your hobbies are watching movies and eating ice cream.

=How to create your portfolio= The instructions in the PDF below will help you setup your site. The more creative you are with the design of your site the better, so take time when choosing your theme and creating the look and feel of your portfolio.

=Troubleshooting Tips=


 * If you need to change your site's address**, go to your dashboard (www.yoursitename.wordpress.com/wp-admin) and then under the Dashboard section on the left side of the screen, tap on My Blogs. In the My Blogs section, you should see a list of the sites you have created and there will be a link underneath the site name that says Change Blog Address. Tap on this link, then type in the new name for your site.


 * If you cannot see the links to your Recent Work, Activities, and Accomplishments pages**, tap on Appearance on the left side of the screen, then tap on Menus. Create a menu by selecting the pages you want included and then tapping Add to Menu. Once you have completed the menu, tap on Create Menu to create the menu and insert it into your site. (Depending on the theme on your site, you might need to tap the check box next to Theme locations at the bottom to make it appear).
