CreativeHub - Course 1 (How to post)

One of the skills required of you as part of the CreativeHub management team is Website Design skill.

I already told you that this is a place for learning. Contrary to assumption, website design is not as hard as it's popularly presented (just think of it as the way you post on your facebook status);  don't misunderstand me, I won't deny the fact that there are levels of complexities. I still want you to understand this truth: ... WE KNOW/LEARN IN PART... 1 Corinthians 13:9

Trust me; my presentation on website design will help you see the concept in a simpler dimension.

Notable Points

  • There are coding/programming approaches to website design - primarily HTML coding, CSS for styling, JS for programming, others may be added
  • There is another appoach - WYSIWYG/CMS
  • Understanding the principles behind any path you take is the most germane of all

I'm purposefully going from simple to complex.

Choosing the simple pathway - there are so many tools we can employ, but for this moment, I choose the blogger platform.

BLOGGER/BLOGSPOT

This is a google own platform; a blog;

A blog is majorly based on articles (text) but other types of content can be included; other types of content include images, audio, video, etc.

Blogger/blogspot can be accessed using the URL: blogger.com; requirement is google/gmail account

NOTE: this article is not taking us through the rudiment of website design using blogger but a purposeful guide on how to post on CreativeHub website - (SOME OTHER DAY, I'M GOING TO PREPARE A FULL COURSE ON WEBSITE DESIGN)


CreativeHub website is based on blogger; As the admin, I choose grant any third party the access to the back-end of the website.

Navigating to blogger.com may take you to google log-in page (if you haven't) - do so with your google account

HOW TO POST ON BLOGGER

Admin vs Author priviledge by default (POST) will load if have already signed-up and logged-in with  your google (gmail) account.

Can you spot the differences between the two? I would like to hear from the comment session. One of the reasons for the differences is the admin priviledge which give room for more menu; 1st is the author & 2nd is the admin. Admin has more added advantages over the author & can do more with the website interface. Fortunately, both ADMIN & AUTHOR can POST on the blogger platform. By default, the POST INTERFACE load & previous post are there (if any). You can choose to edit, delete, unpublish or create a new post.

It must be noted that; you may choose between your gmail account if you had already log-in with multiple accounts on your browser. Just choose the relevant account!

Another thing to note is that if you manage multiple blogs with your gmail account, you have choice to select the relevant one. With reference to this initiative, we choose Creative Hub by ConQueTECH.

Click NEW POST take us to the slide below; you are free to input your TITLE. Also, we are going to explore all the MENU one after the other but more emphasis on some; my subsequent post will be shedding light on others;

The first MENU ITEM is to switch between HTML view & Compose view, HTML view require knowledge of coding & programming while Compose view doesn't require that. For now choose  Compose view

Next, is the undo & redo MENU ITEM; after this, font type.
Below is the font size MENU ITEM
The below MENU ITEM will switch between Major heading, Heading, Subheading, Minor heading, Paragraph & Normal. I will shed more light on each @ subsequent post, STAY TUNED!
 
Next is the bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, text color & text background colour; I assume you know how to use this! if not, tell me in the comment section.
 
Another emphasis is the MENU ITEM to insert link;  image, video & special characters; this aspect is a special aspect. I'm going to emphasis on in my subsequent post, STAY TUNED!
 
Next is the Alignment MENU ITEM, as it is shown on slide 9.
You can switch between Left align, center align, right align & justify.

Next MENU ITEM is increase indent & decrease indent

Next is more options which reveal bulleted list, numbered list, quote text, insert break jump, and others

I hope in my next post to lay emphasis on IMAGE; stay tuned till then, Thanks.
