Posting a slide show to the CHS website using Flickr and Word Press:
Upload photos to Flickr
· Website: http://www.flickr.com/
· Username: hs_writer
· Password: get7write
Put desired photos in a set
· When you’re on “Your photostream,” click on “Organize”
· Then click on “Sets,” followed by “create a new set”
· In the yellow boxes on the left, title the new set and add a caption that will apply to the set as a whole, including photo credit.
· Drag the desired photos from the bottom of the screen into the big gray box where it says “Drag stuff here to add it to the set”
· Press “save” in the bottom left to save the set
Get link to slideshow
· Go back to “Your photostream” and click on the hyperlinked title of the desired set.
· Press “Slideshow” in the upper right
· The link to the slideshow should appear as your URL:
· http://www.flickr.com/photos/humansciences/sets/72157633441347640/show/
Create HTML coding to embed slide show
· Take those numbers from that set and replace the numbers below with those new numbers, right after it says set id:

· Hang on to this coding for when you’re ready to post.
Open Word Press to post a story
· Input the headline and feature photo as usual, and check the categories that apply to the story
· Click on “text” above the content box, instead of “visual”
· Paste your story (or at least a paragraph of text) into the box, along with the HTML coding for your slide show:

· When you click back on “visual,” you’ll see the slide show appear as a blank yellow box. This is how it’s supposed to look.
· Before publishing, be sure to “preview” your story and slide show to make sure it’s working correctly.
