This is a place to tell people about yourself, what drew you to your studies, and what you hope to accomplish. It’s also the front page of your Portfolio, and the first thing people will read about you, so make sure you orient them to what this site is for. Your About Me pages can be primarily text-based, or you can upload images of yourself and your experiences to help you tell your story.

The photo above is the Featured Image for this Page; you’ll see where to edit it on the Edit Page. You can choose any image you like for this space — as long as you have the rights to use it! — or you can choose to have no image at all, like the Resume and Lesson Plans pages.

A website like Unsplash is a good place to go to find interesting images that you can use freely on your own website. This one is by Clay Banks. Make sure you give credit when you do make use of someone else’s work. Also, be sure to fill in the Alt-Text when you upload your image, so users using a screenreader can also enjoy your site.

Enter the content for your writing below. You must save first and preview once before it goes into the system as a draft. After that, continue to edit, save, and preview as much as needed. Remember to click "Publish Now" when you are ready for your work to be published. If you include your email address, we can send you a link that will allow you to make changes later. Otherwise you should finish your writing and publish it in this session.

A good title is important! Create an eye-catching title for your story, one that would make a person who sees it want to stop whatever they are doing and read it.


Publish under your name, twitter handle, secret agent name, or remain "Anonymous". If you include a twitter handle such as @billyshakespeare, when someone tweets your work you will get a lovely notification.

Use the editing area below the toolbar to write and format your writing. You can also paste formatted content here (e.g. from MS Word or Google Docs). The editing tool will do its best to preserve standard formatting--headings, bold, italic, lists, footnotes, and hypertext links. You can also embed audio and video from many social sites simply by putting the URL of the media on a blank line (you will see them embedded in previews and when saved).

See details on the formatting tools in the editing tool tips.

Add any endnote / credits information you wish to append to the end of your writing, such as a citation to where it was previously published or any other meta information. URLs will be automatically hyperlinked when published.
