For this assignment you will document how to edit and maintain a small WordPress site and submit the filewordPress_documentation.docx (or PDF) to Canvas.
In Detail:Usable documentation is critical in the event that ownership or editing responsibilities switch hands, or a site is being built and handed off to a client.
1. Your completed documentation will include the following:
Table of Contents
Screenshots where appropriate (taken from within the WP dashboard)
How to login to the dashboard
How to create a post/page
How to edit a post/page
How to insert a hyperlink into a post/page
How to search for and add a plugin
How to search for and install a theme other than the default
How to upload content to the media library and edit an image in the library (add caption, alt tag, change display size, etc.)
How to insert an image into a post/page
2. There is no length requirement for the document, just as long as it covers all the topics above in enough detail for a beginner to understand and perform the editing.
3. Include page numbers in the document (these will be referenced in the table of contents).
4. Upload your file in either Word or PDF format to the dropbox on Canvas when finished.
You will use a clean text font like Arial, Times New Roman, Helvetica, or Calibri for all text. The font size, margins, and other formatting are up to you. Use between 10-14 point font and one inch margins.
