Uploading Videos, Documents etc.
February 2nd, 2011From our blog page you will be able to keep track of current uploads since video uploading takes a great deal of time to do. Nevertheless, if you are looking for something to be put online that has not yet been posted contact us via the comment field on the bottom of this page. They bounce to my (Chad’s) email account so I will hear about them sooner.
To upload documents yourself (image, video, anything else) perhaps we will go over this in class, but here is a little video tutorial that just might help you:
You can read about how to do this from WordPress.org here
