Template

A template has been developed for those of you who want to spend more time on content and less time on design. Here is the template if you want to see if it might work for you. The idea is that you would change portions of the template to fit for you (images, content, etc.) however the design of the site and the menu is already done for you. If you are interested, please view the instructions that follow.

1. Login to cikeys.com
2. Click WordPress under Applications
3. Click the “install this application” button
4. Specify where you’d like this instance of WordPress installed (if you want it to be on the root of your site, e.g.: myeportfolio.cikeys.com, then be sure that the “Directory” field is left blank)
5. Under the “Version” section, under “Content,” choose the “Nursing ePortfolio Template” option as pictured below:


6. Change your Website Title and Tagline if you wish under the “Settings” section. This can always be done and changed after WordPress has been installed.
7. Scroll down and click the “Install” button, and your site will be created using the template.
