My Fellow Business Astronauts

As we are reaching the final phase of our blogging project, I took a look back at what we have blogged so far and I think that we have already found many interesting topics to write about. Thank you, for all of your contributions!

While doing so – I also re-edited some of your posts to adjust some formatting issues and I want to show you what I did and how I did it.

Insert More Tags

If you clicked on continue reading to get here – wondering, where this wonderful space saving function comes from, I will show you how to add these “more tags” to your posts.

While writing or editing your post you can use this button to add more tags or you can use the shortcut ALT + SHIFT + T.

moretag_after 

I would recommend positioning these tags right after the first or at least after the second paragraph to keep things short on our main page, so that any reader gets a quick overview of all of our posts without scrolling all day. :-)

This might even mean that you will have to rethink your initial paragraphs of your posts, because they should always give a sufficient and interesting outlook to your whole entry. Adding pictures to your introduction might help with making things more interesting.

Adjusting the Format

Sometimes formatting does not work out properly, if you copy and paste your pre-written text from your office program to WordPress. Fortunately you can still adjust everything in the editor and the fact that fonts etc. are already defined by the chosen blog design, makes it even easier.

If you are uncertain whether your format is correct or not, you can use the editor to find out. Due to the text part you have selected, these two areas tell you about the chosen format.

 format_h2

In this case the chosen line is defined as headline 2 (or h2). Therefore it is written in a certain font style and size. This kind of format is used for subheads. You can also use headline 1 (or h1) because the formatting of both is the same. 

If the text part is selected, the editor shows that these lines are defined as paragraphs (or p or “Absatz” in German). This formatting should be used for all text parts.

 format_p

For quoting simply put the text in quotation marks and use headline 3. If you use the  quotation button the text will be aligned in the centre.

 format_quotes

To change any format, you can simply use the dropdown to select the right option.

format_change

Last but not least to add a title to your post you simply have to write in the section above the editor. The format of the title is predefined as well.

 format_title

To sum it up:

  • More Tags are very useful
  • Headline 1 or 2 is used for subheads
  • Paragraph is used for text
  • Headline 3 and quotation marks are used for quotes
  • Titles should not be forgotten ;-)

These were my few adjustments. Hopefully I could help you with my short explanations and I would be happy about any feedback. Got any further questions? Feel free to ask over Asana or per email so that we can figure things out together.
