Hey guys, I've had a few questions regarding posting to the blog. If you don't have access to a computer in your dorm, check out the computer labs in Bunting, and on the second floor of Fox, as these will all have scanners available. A thumb drive is a great thing to invest in. There is a Best Buy in the harbor, and you can pick one up for about 15 dollars. This will prove to be invaluable for transporting documents and files, especially if you don't have a printer! You will use it for the rest of your life. Trust me.
I thought I would do a quick run through of how to post to the blog with some accompanying images that you can refer back to. It's pretty simple, so don't be nervous.
First: Once you email me I will invite you to be an "author" of the blog. Go ahead and follow whatever it prompts you to do. Once you are an author, log into blogger at either www.blogspot.com, or www.blogger.com (they are the same website). You should see this screen once you are logged in:
This shows all the blogs that you are an author of, and gives you a few options. You wont be able to change the setting or layout or edit posts, but the important button here is NEW POST. SO CLICK IT! and begin posting.
Second:
This is the place where you will write your post. You will click on this here tiny button:
And it lets you add an image. If this magical pop up window appears:
You clicked the right button. Good work. Now select your image, click upload, publish your post and be on your merry way. See? Easy, nothing to be worried about. Good luck with your classes on monday, and I will see your shining faces Thursday morning.
