team page instructions

Our site was built on the WordPress platform.

It’s a solid platform that allows multiple user to post, edit, and upload their text, images, and links. Perfect for what we’re doing in this challenge.

You will be able to go in post your ideas and progress up on the site. In order to create a good experience for everyone, we will need to moderate posts before they go live. Please allow a short delay for moderation.

Progress – If you want to share how you’re working, share some thoughts, or inspiration, post them as Pro-gress. The Progress posts will look like the other posts, except that you will check the Progress box in the Categories on the right.

Idea – When your idea is ready to be posted, fill out the fields, and check the Idea category instead. Note that all your ideas that are posted on the site at the time of the deadline will be entered into the second round for shortlisting.

Once you get the login info and password in a separate email from Wordpress, login to the site at www.right-brainsare.us/wp-admin

Take a few minutes to read these instructions and get familiar with your account.

We ask you to post only relevant material to make the experience great for everyone. Any profane or inappropriate content will be deleted and your team might get disqualified because of it.

Don’t worry, if you get stuck, shoot us a note and we’ll help out.
