Template Instructions for Bio Page
Method 1:
The easiest way for students to format a page of their work on the Student Work site with a "template" that creates a uniform look-and-feel for student pages in the course is to choose one of the pre-made templates during the process of creating a new page.
- Step 1: Start Creating a New Page.
- You can do this either by going to the tab at the top for "Pages & Files" and then clicking "New",
- Or you can add a link on the site to a not-yet-existing page (like this: Bibliography by Alan Liu), and then (after you have saved the page on which the link resides) click on the link to automatically open the dialogue for creating that new page.
- Step 2: Before you actually click the button to create the new page, choose one of the pre-made templates for the page. For example:
Method 2:
- If you create your page first without a template, then you can cut-and-paste into the page the section between dotted lines below. (This is what would have been put automatically on your new page according to Method 1 above.)
- Page naming (filename) convention: Example, "Alan Liu"
Copy between the dotted lines:
Image of yourself. (Upload image of yourself using the "Images and files" function in the sidebar while in editing mode, and place the image here. Right-click on the image to access Image Properties. Set the properties to Align=left, hspace=20, and sized at about 300 width. Link from the 300-pixel wide image to a larger version of the image if you wish.
Quotation in italics from your own work or some other work. Or insert a motto. (Since this is a semi-professional site, please avoid merely "funny" sayings.
- Source of Quotation in italics
Your bio here, written in third person (not "I" or "me," but "John or Jane Doe is. . . ." Add links as appropriate. Aim for a tone that is semi-professional; but you can include "personality."
