Go to www. blogger.com…
Sign in with your Google account…
Click New Blog
Choose a title and address for your blog.
Pick a template (You can change it later)
My blog has a boring title. Sorry.
You do not have to use your real name in your blog title or address.
This is public so please keep that in mind when you post.
This is what your blog looks like in “view” mode.
This is what your screen looks like when writing a blog post
As you’re writing your post, hit save regularly.
You can publish it when you’re done.
If you’ve saved your post but can’t find it later, don’t worry.
The next slide will tell you how to find it.
Click the arrow next to the icon that looks like pages
and then click Posts
I can either keep editing or publish my post.
ADDING A PICTURE
Once you click on Choose files,
find the file on your computer.
That’s better.
I also made it a bit smaller to hide my wrinkles.
I also want to add a link to my website. So I’ve highlighted the text I want to be the link and then clicked link…
Well that was easy! Since I already had the url there it just automatically. But if it was just a word,
…it would prompt me to enter the url.
When I hit “Publish”
it prompted
me to share
on Google + but I
don’t want
to so I’ll hit Cancel.
To find my URL to share with you, I click View Blog.
My URL is what you see at the top.
You will get a list of your classmates’ blogs from me.
When you do, add them to your reading list.
You can add more than one blog at a time
so it shouldn’t take too long.
Just copy and paste each URL and click add.
Then once they’ve all been added click Follow.
HOW TO COMMENT
Go to a classmate’s blog.
At the bottom of a post you’ll either see “No comments” or
“# Comments”. Click on that.
Ideally, you should comment using your actual name.
If you have privacy concerns though,
talk to me and we can figure something else out.
