Tags

    1. Tag the story by MIIS Tags, Story Program Tags, and Theme Tags. Tagging allows stories to be collected on other pages of miis.edu.
      1. You can use more than one tag from each category (i.e. MIIS Tags, Story Program Tags, and Theme Tags). For example, a story can be tagged “career,” “internships,” and “world” under the “MIIS Tags” category.
      2. Don’t forget to tag the story “world” so that it appears on the published MIIS Around the World page.
    2. In the “Body” text field, type your content.
    3. Add the necessary links.

Links

    1. Add images and videos (Note: external image files must first be uploaded to http://www.miis.edu/community/world/files. Images should be resized and cropped to 290 x 220 pixels before being uploaded to the site).
    2. Including a location is optional. If you’d like the story to appear on the MIIS Around the World map, enter the city and country in the designated fields. Or enter the latitude and longitude coordinates.

Location

  1. If necessary, alter the appearance, set publish dates, and set permissions lists.
  2. When you are done adding the content, scroll down and click the “Save” button.
    1. The screen returns to “View” mode.
