Ishan Kamat 2020 Orientation

During the later part of your STA Orientation Tuesday, January 21st,

you’ll design and upload your STA Blog banner to the STA blog.

Upload a Blog Banner

Use the Photoshop specs for your blog banner that I placed in your STA volume folder
- Left-click on the home screen,
- the press command + k to connect to server
- smb://file.laits.utexas.edu/sta/Ishan Kamat/Orientation
Save your unmerged files back to your STA volume folder

Reflect on the day. You blog posts will be a documented experience of your time as an STA with LAITS. Include links, images, gifs–anything you want to share about the projects you’re working on.
For today, write a bit about about yourself and what you did during orientation.
If you haven’t already, upload your banner.

You should never copy and paste images to your blog. Always upload images into the “Media” section of blog first, and then insert the image from the media folder to display on your blog.
Don’t use the thumbnail version of your images.
Use images that are 72 dpi
Screen shots are fine
Images that are 780 pix wide format nicely above or below text blocks

Always check the category “2019 Fall-Winter | Spring-Summer 2020” for all the blog posts you make this semester and next semester so that all of your work is documented in the correct semesters.
