These are some steps to work on StoryMapJs:
Type StoryMapJs in your search engine
Then click on StoryMap JS - Telling stories with maps option
Home page of StoryMapJs will open then click on Make a “Storymap now” option
For first time user it will ask for gmail account login or google drive authorization
Click on “New” option for new project to start
Then two options will come, Map or Gigapixel.
Click on Map, and it gives you option to create your storymap, then you have to give a title to your Storymap project.
Title slide will come. Write your title that is Headline with description, on that title page you can add Media (photo, video) to give support to your story with caption and credits.
On every slide you can get location option for your story. You can enter the location and can find your specific location on world map
On the below corner of the slide you have a slide option through which you can change the style of your presentation of the slide i.e., background colour, background image
Once your story has done go to the “share” option (top right side of the page) and share the story on social media or you can embed the link on tumblr.
There is a problem with the theme option, when you share the story on social media like tumblr there is a chance that your story will look stretched
Sometimes headline of the story will look bigger than preset version.
