How to … change teachers’ resources links on teacher.blueballoonguy.com

You will need to have (or create) public links for the directory in Drive that you want to link to.

You will then set up posts (or change posts if they already exist), making sure that they are linked to the correct category (section), post type (audio, video) and that they have a date/time in reverse order of how you want them to appear on the screen. It’s designed for the newest to be at the top, so I usually change the hour to 23 for what I want first, 22 next, and so on.

These are the steps to create one of these posts, and you can see the steps in this video.

  1. Go to the dashboard on teacher.blueballoonguy.com/wp-admin/

  3. Create the subject (as you want it to appear in the section on screen).
  4. Don’t enter any content, skip to the end and select Page links to … A custom URL.
  5. Add the shareable link from Google Drive, and click on Open this link in a new tab.
  6. Select the correct category (the section you want it to appear in)
  7. Put a date and time (remembering to calculate where you want it to appear, as it’s in reverse chronological order.
