‫In this lecture of the course, we're going to be adding more posts.
‫Now, what I'll be doing is that I'll be showing you how you can add your first post, and then you
‫have to do it for every single of the destination that you see over here.
‫You have to add at least 2 to 3 posts inside each of the destination.
‫Like you can see, we have got Chicago, so we've got one post, we've got this Malaysia and everything,
‫so we've got zero post for that.
‫So that is why I would recommend you to make sure that you do have at least, uh, 2 to 3 or if you
‫can add more, it's up to you.
‫Um, you will be amazed to see the results when you will be designing the website.
‫Now our blogging part is complete.
‫We now know what a post is.
‫We know how to add a post, we know what are the taxonomies and we also know how to add a custom taxonomy.
‫Now is the main and the most important thing and that is to design the website.
‫But before designing the website, we have to make sure that we do have so many of the posts so that
‫once we are actually designing the website, we should love our website before we start to design it
‫and how we are going to love it.
‫And it's going to be only when you have so many of the dummy content.
‫By the dummy content, I actually mean that you should be having some of the posts.
‫You do not have to write the content.
‫You can copy it from Lipscomb.
‫Once you have copied that, you can add the images and everything.
‫The featured image is very, very important.
‫Make sure to add it and your website is going to look good.
‫So let me first show you how you can actually add your first post.
‫Uh, very fast.
‫And then you can go ahead and you can add your own post.
‫So let's just go ahead and let's get started.
‫So we're going to be adding the post for the Malaysia.
‫All right.
‫So what you need to do is to click on Add New Post.
‫And now you have to select the category.
‫So let's suppose that this is going to be an activity.
‫And in the destination I'm going to be selecting the Malaysia.
‫All right.
‫In the tag we're going to be adding the tags later on.
‫So let's just go ahead and let's first add the title.
‫So now I have actually added the title and it is based on the activities.
‫And now you can add the tags.
‫So let's suppose that I want to write the paragliding.
‫Now since this paragliding is actually, uh, not in the tags.
‫That is why it's going to be added.
‫Uh, once I actually hit on enter, let me capitalize this and now I'll be hitting on enter.
‫This is added.
‫Now I can add another tag.
‫And this is going to be Jet Ski.
‫And that's it.
‫So let's suppose that these are the two tags that I want to add.
‫And now I will be adding some of the content.
‫Now the content can be actually copied from Lipscomb.
‫So let's visit the Lipscomb.
‫Let's click on Generate Lorem Ipsum.
‫And let's copy these paragraphs right here.
‫And now let's come up here and let's paste it.
‫Now what we need to do is to add the featured image.
‫Now the featured image is really very important.
‫Make sure you add it because it's gonna when you will be actually designing the website, your website
‫is going to look good if you have so many of the more featured images.
‫All right.
‫So what you need to do is to visit.
‫Unsplash.com.
‫Now you already know about it.
‫If you have your own clicked image, I would recommend you use that because obviously if you are building
‫a travel blog and you have visited that, then you should be adding your own clicked image.
‫So let's just go ahead and let's search for Penang Beach.
‫And.
‫Okay, now, this is the reason why I need you people to actually use your own images.
‫Let's see if you've got.
‫The Penang.
‫Now, since I can actually not find any of the images regarding the Penang beach, and we want to actually
‫upload the image for the activities to do in the Penang.
‫So I'll be going ahead and I'll be using the picture that I already have of myself in the, in the Penang.
‫And I'll be showing you, like if you actually want to use your own picture, then how you're going
‫to upload it.
‫Otherwise, if you want to upload it with the Unsplash, you know the thing.
‫Like you have to crop it and everything by going into the photo app.
‫So now let's just go ahead and let's go into the photo p.
‫Com if you actually want to use your own image, then you have to get the image on your computer.
‫And then you have to click on the new project.
‫You have to select the 1 to 8 zero by 720 pixels.
‫And then you have to click on create.
‫So now once this is actually created, then you can get your image and you can drop it over here.
‫Now I'll be going ahead and I'll be resizing.
‫And once the image actually fits, then you can hit on enter and you can see that this is the image.
‫Now you can go ahead and you can click on export.
‫And you can export this as a JPG file.
‫Now instead of exporting this as a jpg, I would recommend you export this as a WebP file, because
‫a WebP files are usually, um, less in size compared to the jpg file.
‫So let's select the WebP file.
‫You can select the 70% and you can hit on save.
‫And now you can see that this is only 31.6kB.
‫All right.
‫So once you have actually got the image then what you can do is that you can click on set featured image.
‫And then you can go ahead and you can drag the image and you can drop it over here and it's going to
‫be added.
‫And now you can click on set Featured Image.
‫And you can see that now the image is actually added.
‫And now if you click on publish and if you will click on View Post, you can see that this is already
‫added.
‫Seven must activities.
‫And this is actually the content.
‫And now if you will click on the blog, you can see that this is our first post that is added over here.
‫Now since we will be actually adding the dummy content.
‫Uh, that is why you would not have some of the content.
‫So it's okay to go to the unsplash.com and use the images from the unsplash.com, resize it, then use
‫it on the website.
‫But do add the images as it will really help you when you will be designing the website.
‫So now this is your assignment.
‫What you need to do is to go into the dashboard, go into the post and add so many of the posts.
‫Now you can see that Malaysia.
‫We have got a one post.
‫Now I need you to add at least 2 to 3 posts every single destination, and once you are done with that,
‫then continue with the next lecture.
