DAY 3: Posting On Your Blog

1. Copy and paste a link to your blog in an email. Send it to me nd.alt.school@gmail.com
I will make a list of our blogs so that you can see everyone else's.

2. Keep working on your blog.
If you are still working on background images, layout, and design issues keep going. But if you like the way your blog looks, start working on a post.

Here's a video that might  help you.

If that doesn't help you, check out this Google Blogger Getting Started Guide.

If that doesn't help you, give a holler and I'll come running.


Here's what you're probably thinking: What should I blog about?  
ANSWER: Blog about yourself!

In this class, you are expected to write. Today's topic for writing is something that you are an expert on: YOU.  Lots of people use their blogs as daily journals where they write about themselves. Don't believe me? Check out this list of blogs and click on a few. 

For the rest of the hour, you will be writing something about yourself. If you post it as a blog, please protect yourself: no full names, no addresses,  phone numbers or personal information that could put you at risk. Once your blog is published, anyone can see it. Be sure to present yourself in a positive fashion. Communicate clearly by using capitalization, punctuation and complete sentences. 

To receive credit for today you must either hand in your paper, show me your blog draft, or send me a link to your completed blog. Reminder: your writing today is about YOU! Who are you? What do you like to do? What do you want to be when you graduate from high school? Where do you see yourself in ten years? Write about yourself.
