It makes a blog entry much more readable if you take a little time to format the entry. You will need to know just a tiny bit of HTML code in order to do this.
To make a paragraph space in a blog entry put this code: <p> in the place you want there to be ablank line as above.
To make something bold: type <b>entry text</b> to make the words entry text bold like this.
To make italics: type <i>entry text</i> to make the words entry text italic like this.
To add a link to another blog entry, type code like this: <a href="http://intra.apl.org/blog/blog2/entry.asp?id=xxxx">LINK Text</a>
(In the above example, the XXXX is the BLOG ID number that you want to link to. The LINK Text is the text that you want people to click on to link to that entry. Everything else should be exactly like the text above.)
To add a picture to a blog entry:- Whoever has access to the camera system should save a copy of the best available frame to P:webdocs/newintranet/private/banned in .tif format. The security computer in the 9 foot hallway is set up to do this readily, but it should be doable from any of our workstations.
- The photo can be cropped and resized in Photoshop or other editing program. Photoshop does a good job of "saving for web" as a .jpg of small filesize.
- Once this is done, name it in an identifying way, usually with the person's last name , and save it again, then save another copy at \\Erebus\Inetpub\wwwroot\intra\private . We have given all supervisors permission to save in this location. You may have to navigate to it, and may wish to map a drive to this location for future use.
- You can then add code to the Intranet entry in this format: <img src="http://intra.apl.org/private/banned/filename.jpg"> at the location you would like to display the picture.
