  2. WordPress Concepts for This Project Projects and Categories Your project

    should be a single project. Though if it needs to be more expansive, let’s discuss. All the projects should be assigned to a category – not “Uncategorized.” Look at what others have created before you make a new one. Metadata: Important information about dates, sources and more. Media and Maps After you’ve sorted out what images to use (and they don’t just have to be photos). Embed IMAGES in your posts using the Media tool. If you have AUDIO OR VIDEO other media, just put the URL on a line by itself like this: There are other kinds of media you can embed in this way … Check out this cool video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ That was a cool video.

  8. The Importance of Copyright Anything created after 1924 may be

    protected by copyright. Unless it’s been explicitly released into the public domain. There are some exceptions, referred to as “fair use.” Purpose and character of use: Is it of a commercial nature? For nonprofit educational purposes? A transformative use is more likely to be “fair use.” Nature of the work: Photos are less likely to be “fair use.” Amount and substantiality: Using a large proportion of a copyrighted work is less likely to be considered “fair use.” Effect on the potential market or value: Will it cost the creator in the commercial marketplace? All these would be weighed together if you were taken to court. But if you’re in court, you’ve already lost.
