If you’ve never used WordPress (the software we’re using to create the blog on the web), you might want to check out this video I created walking you through it:

In your post, please:

• Add some media (image, video clip, audio clip, gif, etc) related to a favorite movie, tv show, work of art, or song.
• Tell us the SOURCE of your media (see my post and the video)
• Tell us three things about you:
  1. your major(s) or department(s)
  2. something about why that favorite movie/tv show/book/art/song/poem is your favorite
  3. What do you think of when you think of “cultural heritage”? Add an image to illustrate!
• Document and link back to the source of your image. (The link to a Google image search is not sufficient – link to the actual page the image is on.)  Two places you can search for things that AREN’T Google Images are Wikimedia Commons and Flickr (Flickr requires a login, but membership is free; they also have Flickr Commons with )
  • Be sure you have permission to share your image
  • On Flickr, Wikimedia, Wikipedia, and most museum websites, you will see a license for each image. Be sure the license includes the capability to SHARE the image.

To do this….

• Go to https://chdata20-blog.carrieschroeder.net and login using your userid and password for the blog.
• In the Admin interface, click on POSTS, then ADD NEW
• Create your awesome blog post.
• Never used WordPress? Check out the video above walking you through it.
• Be sure to add the Category “Intro” and relevant “tags”
