Posting Instructions

Hello, this week’s bloggers!

I hope you have been finding your way around the website fairly easily; however, sometimes this can be a little tricky. If you are having difficulty posting your blog to the website, here are some steps you should consider taking.

  1. See if there are any YouTube videos that can walk you through the process
  2.  When you log into our website (Log-in information will be given to you WHEN you have sent your topic approval to me through email) there should be a white box in the upper right-hand corner labeled “Write”.
  3. If you do not see “Write” then click on “My Site” in the upper left-hand corner.
  4. A viewing pane will appear on the left.
  5. Click “Blog Posts”.
  6. Then click “Add”.
  7. The set up is fairly simple from there. Copy and paste your blog post from your Word Document and start adding visual elements that really spice things up! Don’t forget that this assignment does have specific requirements (These can be found on my first blog post, but I have pasted them here as well).
  1. You must have at least 400 words.
  2. You must have a picture or a graphic (gif’s and memes count)
  3. Your topic must be WELL THOUGHT OUT. If you need to do research, do it. If you are reviewing a movie or book, give specific details as you discuss to prove your point.
  4. Your topic must be sent for approval in an email by the Monday before your post is due (Posts are due Friday before class). The more information you give me in your topic approval request, the more I can help you.

6. Make sure that you hit Publish in the upper right-hand corner before exiting out. If you forget to do this all of your hard-work will disappear. You can still go back in and edit your post, but don’t leave the site until you have hit publish.
