Instructions for Setting Up a Blog
If you do not have a Google account:
1. Go to www.google.com/accounts and click on “Create an account now” on the left hand side of the screen. Follow the instructions for creating an account.
After you’ve registered for a Google account or if you already have a Google account:
1. Go to www.blogger.com , sign in with your Google Account and click on the orange tab that says ”Create a Blog.” (If you are having difficulties, Blogger gives you the options to “Watch a video tutorial” to help you set up your blog. If you already have a blog with Blogger, please create a new one just for this class. Please make your username something containing your actual name such as your first name and last initial. Also, please title your blog your first name and our course name (i.e. Laura’s ENG 101 blog).
2. As you are going through the steps to create your blog, you will already be personalizing it by Choosing a Template, for example. However, you will be able to personalize it even more later.
Adding your blog to the class blogroll:
1. First you will need the URL for your blog, which you will have created during your registration.
2. Logon to Blackboard and click on the tab on the left hand side of the page called “Class Blogroll.” Open up the Class Blogroll link.
3. Click edit on the right hand side of the page. Copy/Paste the URL (web address) for your blog underneath the time of day that your course meets and click “Save” on the toolbar that will appear at the top of the page.
4. After completing that, go to the “Assignments” tab in Blackboard, open “Project #3” and the Setup Blog. Click on View/Complete Assignment, paste your blog URL into the comments box and click on “Submit.”
Please watch the Jing Videos on Blackboard for more information on personalizing your blog and saving your URL to the blogroll. If you have further questions, please email me.
