Setting Up Your Blog + 1/8 Homework

1.) You’ll be using a Google/Gmail account to create your Blogger blog. If you do not have a Gmail account, go to Gmail.com and sign up for one.

2.) Go to Blogger.com and sign in with your Gmail account information.

This will take you to a page that says “YOUR NAME’s blogs”. Choose the button that says “New Blog”.




Next, you’ll be asked to name your blog and make up a web address for it.  Please use the following formats:

Wolfie

Title: YOUR NAME’s LIBR1101 Blog
(Ex. Wolfie's LIBR1101 Blog)

Address: YOURNAMELIBR1101 (cannot have any spaces)
(Ex. wolfielibr1101.blogspot.com)

(Note: I'd recommend using your First Name Last Name in the title and your First Initial Last Name in the Address, but you can choose whatever you want as long as I'll be able to identify who you are.)

You can pick any template or design you like, and you can change your template at any time, so you won't be stuck with whatever you pick right now.

Click the orange "Create Blog" button when finished and you now have your very own blog that's live on the web!

3.) Once you have set up your blog, go to the "Class Blog List," (on this blog and linked below) and post a comment with your name and blog web address.

Today's Homework Assignment (Due 1/8 at 10pm)

Create your first post by clicking the orange pencil icon.

Remember to enter a title for each post in the bar near the top labeled "Post Title."

Briefly introduce yourself, including the academic area(s) you are most interested in studying at UWG. Then answer one of the following two questions:

What is one thing that surprised you about today's class? What is one thing we talked about today that you would especially like to learn more about during the semester?

Finally it would be helpful to take and upload a picture of yourself along with your first post so we can all start to learn each others' names. 

To do this, click on the image icon in the post editor (see below)
