Writing on the blog or Who the heck are you?

Name: If you signed up for the blog using a name not easily recognizable as your name, please type your name at the top or bottom of your post, as a byline would be typed. Otherwise, I won't know who the post is from and won't be able to give you credit.

Each post should have a headline. Make it creative, interesting and appropriate for a media publication.

The blog URL is: http://txstateeditorials.blogspot.com

(Yes, you know that if you are looking at the blog, but in the event you print this out to use as directions, it might be handy to have the blog URL.)

How to Blog

You will be invited to the blog via an email sent to your Texas State email account.

Click on the link in the email and accept the invitation. You must create a Google account to access the blog. If you already have a Google account (gmail, etc.), you may use that account. If you don't, then use your TX State email to begin the process to get a Google account, following the steps outlines on the screen.

Note: Once you have the account set up, Blogger sends you to a screen to create your own blog. You do not want to create your own blog for the purposes of this assignment. For this assignment, you want to post to the class blog that is already established. Navigate around Blogger and the class blog using the links in the top right of the screen. Dashboard takes you to the class blog.

This blog will be open to the public for viewing (ie: not a private blog). You may consider that when building a profile and setting a screen name.
