The good news?

You already know how to update your site!

You have sent an email, right??

Then you already know the simple and fast way to update your site.

1. log into your school email by heading to

http://mail.google.com or from your district/school site

You can also create a Posterous site and account by simply submitting your first post via email!

You may need to enable images to see the 'View this Post' button

There is no next step! You have become a web master!

How do I customize my site?

The first thing you'll want to do is to give the site a name:

  • Make sure you are logged into your site: go to http://posterous.com and use the 'Log In' box at the top right, once your account is set.
  • Click on 'Spaces' in the top black bar.
  • Click on the gear icon next to your space name, then click 'Space Settings' in the menu that drops down.
  • Click the 'Edit' button under 'Name Your Space' to give the site a name and subheading if you'd like to use that.
  • See the next slide for details.
  • Be sure to save your settings!

Posterous:

Creating a new post

You CAN post from your site, but the easiest way is to just use email - you already know how to do that!

To review, just compose a new message in your school email:

  • Send it to post@posterous.com
  • The subject is the post title
  • The email body is the content

Here's the great part - attach just about ANYTHING to your post, and Posterous will figure out what to do with it.

  • Attach Office files (.doc(x), .ppt(x), .xls(x)), .mov, .wmv, .jpg, .png, .pdf, .mp3.......
  • Attach multiple photos to create a gallery
  • If you paste a link from a Google Map or YouTube video in your post, Posterous will do the map and video embedding for you!

2. Compose a message, sending it to post@posterous.com

  • The subject line becomes the title of your post/entry
  • The body of the message is the post content
  • Since it's your first post, welcome your visitors!
  • Send your message

3. In a minute or two, you'll get a response from Posterous, urging you to view your new post - do so!

7. Next, let's pick a theme or template:

  • From the Space Settings, click the 'Edit Theme button in the 'Look and Feel' options.
  • A new window will open up with 40 or so theme options. Click one or many to try them out.
  • Once you are happy, click the big green 'Save, I'm done!' button on the lower right.

Send it, and your site has been updated.

If you are viewing your site, it's easy to post - just click the 'Post' button on the top right, or the 'Manage' button to view all of your entries.
