E-PORTFOLIO TIP OF THE MONTH:

Uploading PDFs

If you are looking for sample scenarios of ways to earn points, get inspired and create a plan by reading about Josie Smith, a new freshman, or Mary Jones, a new transfer student!

As for our e-portfolio tip this month, we will learn how to post PDFs on your site.

Step 1: In your new post/page, click “Insert”  → “Add Media”.

Alternatively, you can click on “Add Media” above the menu bar.

Step 2: “Upload Files” → “Select Files”. Select your PDF to upload.

You can also upload multiple files at once.

Step 3: Select the file you want to post.

You can edit the “Title” to change the text that will appear in the post/page.

If you prefer to do it later, click “Insert into post.”

Step 4: Your PDF will be inserted as a hyperlink with your file name as the text.

If you want to change the text, click on the link, and the pencil icon.

Step 5: Click on the settings icon.

Change the “Link Text” to the text that you want to be displayed on the post/page.

If you want the file to pop up in a new tab when a user clicks on the link, check “Open link in a new tab” checkbox.

When you’re done making changes, click “Update”

Step 6: Make sure the text has been changed.

Save your changes and test out your link to make sure that it’s working.

It’s always a good practice to test out your link!
