Getting Started

Getting Started with Blogger -  Students

The Spring 2012 EDUC210 class Blogger blog can be viewed at http://educ210spring2012.blogspot.com/

An e-mail invitation will be sent to you to become an author in this blog. You may need to check your SPAM folder (or add a mail filter - From: no-reply@google.com Subject: You have been invited to contribute to) or ask us to send another invitation (if at first you don't succeed...).  Request another invitation from DWheeler@Colgate.Edu

To become a full-fledged Author, you must click on the invitation link in the e-mail which will take you to Blogger.Com   Blogger is a Google application so you can access the blog using your Colgate Google e-mail address and password, but Blogger requires you to connect that account to itself (once). If you haven't already done this you will need to enter a Blogger "Display Name" (what shows on your Blogger posts) and a few other administrative items before entering.

To submit a Post, click on one of the Post links. Posts can be added from a web browser or iPhone or Android apps.

Post norms...

Title
A Post really needs to have a title and Blogger doesn't make the Title entry clear. Check at the top of your Post page for a title box and enter something appropriate. You can change it later.

On a very subtle, probably minor, note... if you include a title when you create the post there will be a nice link to that item. If you don't include it there will always be an ugly link to your post - you can add or change a title later, but the initial link in permanent.

Read more
Blog entries are normally not shown in their entirety on the main page. You should select an appropriate point early in your Post to split the entry  --- the "Insert jump break" button will do just that, providing readers a "Read more..." link.

You can insert photos or videos in an entry, create links, and much much more.
