How To Blog

Here are some quick instructions to navigating the blog:

1) click on the link to the blog sent in email.

2) Posts appear in chronological order but they are archived in the sidebar.

3) Read the blog and from the main page, click the Comment link under the post on which you want to comment. On an individual post page, scroll down to the end of the post if necessary.

4) You can choose to sign-in and create a blogger account and profile (you will need a name and email address to do this)… If you choose to do this but are not comfortable with having your real name out there in blogger world, you can create a ‘name’ for yourself. Obviously you will have to let me know what your screen name is…

5) You can also leave posts anonymously, but you will have to identify yourself in the body of your comment so that I know who you are

6) You will need to post at least one comment in response to a blog.

7) The blog is public for now. However, if there are a lot of comments from people not in the class which are not appropriate, I can make the blog private (i.e. only the class will be able to access the blog).

8) If there are any inappropriate class comments I can delete the comment.. and I can also make the blog so that I moderate the comments before they’re posted (I’d much prefer not to do this.. so keep it clean and respectful…)

9) You should check the blog regularly – at least twice week.
