Creating your required online portfolio: Suggestions
1) Use a free website service such as weebly.com, which is easy to use, or another one of your choice. Please use your name (first, last, or both) as part of the URL in order to help facilitate judging.
2) Create tabs or sections that correspond to the judge's evaluation -- Introductory Material, Stories, Photography, Blogs, and Audio/Video Productions.
3) Do not include street addresses and telephone numbers, especially to your home or job, but rather use an email address.
4) Be sure all links are "hot" -- that they work and take visitors to where they're supposed to. Your site should be easy to navigate.
5) You can link to your work on The Magnet Tribune's website, or to other websites where you've posted stories, photos, and other content. You can also upload content to your site, but for videos and audios I suggest you use embed codes.
6) You can "unpublish" your site after judging is finished by going to "Settings" and scrolling down until you find the "Unpublish" button. I advise you to not delete but rather to unpublish as your site may be useful in taking advantage of future opportunities, especially in college media.
7) As online portfolios allow for the use of judges outside of Laredo, portfolios in notebooks are no longer accepted.
8) Portfolios are required of all students who will receive the Medallion in journalism/online media, and are a part of the final exam for the spring semester. Those not planning to attend a college, university, vocational, or trade school after high school are still required to submit a portfolio, minus the acceptance letter.
