Next OSUL WordPress users group meeting
November 10, 11:00am to noon, THO 150A
Multi-Author Blogs with Melanie Schlosser
Are you responsible for a multi-author blog, or thinking about starting one? Are you wondering how to get other folks to contribute content or how to maintain a consistent style? Group blogs can offer a lot of advantages, from covering a wider perspective to spreading the work around, but editing them can be a challenge. Come to this discussion-based meeting to learn some tricks for successful blog editing, and to share ideas with other folks in the Libraries who work with multi-author blogs.

WordPress video tutorials now available
The wpmudev membership comes with videos on WordPress basics. They are available either from your dashboard after you log in, or you can get them from the IT site: https://library.osu.edu/site/it/wordpress-video-tutorials/ wpmudev promises to keep them updated as new versions of WordPress are released, so the screenshots should pretty much match what you see when you log in.

Use scarlet
If you are adding any content that includes OSU red, be a good Buckeye and use scarlet (http://brand.osu.edu/color/). We’re slowly correcting reds on library.osu.edu (Silverstripe). The WordPress theme itself is ok.
