Your Chance to Blog!

Why should I have all the fun?

If you find something interesting, why not post to the new ComMedia Classblog? At least you could post the articles/websites that you've accessed for your weekly AMS reports.

Here's how:

Go to www.blogger.com. In the top right corner is the sign-in area.

Your User Name is: considerthesource. (That should be easy enough to remember.)

Your password is: benice. (And let's remember that. Be nice in what and why you post.)

That should take you to the "Dashboard." Click on "Consider the Source". And you're ready to go.

The software works best on Internet Explorer (which you shouldn't be using unless you have very good virus protection), or Firefox (for which you should also have good virus protection). My browser of choice is Opera (what can I tell you, I'm the opposite of everyone). Unfortunately, the blogger software doesn't work very well with Opera.

Across the top of the tan box in which you enter text you will find icons. Highlight text, then click the "b", and it comes out bold. The T box let's you change the color of your text. Right next to that is the link box . That's the most important for our purposes. Highlight text, then clink on the link box, and type in or copy the address of the page you're linking to.

[Now I know that a lot of you are just itching to try out your First Amendment rights, but be careful. This is a school sanctioned activity, so it would be a lot easier to get in trouble with this blog than if you started one of your own (and that wouldn't be that difficult). I reserve the right to edit or delete any postings. I'm sure I won't have to.]
