To start your own blog, you will go to: www.blogger.com
The big orange box at the top right of the page will direct you to creating your own blog on a site called blogspot.com. Follow the instructions to open up a free account. Write your username and passwod on the assignment sheet. Don't forget your Username and Password!! You will need them to login everytime.
As you fill in the info, you will be asked to name your blog. This title will appear at the top of your blog. (Mine is called "AHS Humanities")
Then, you need to choose an address: http://_______.blogspot.com
This will be the web address associated with your site. You can call it anything you like. (Be clever or simple, but be appropriate!)
You will also need to choose a design template for your blog. Look through the options listed and see what appeals to you. You can change this later.
Once you have the account set up, you can start posting. A “posting” is an entry on your blog. (For clarification, you have one blog, but many postings). Give each post a title and then compose your entry. When you are finished, hit the button at the bottom that says Publish Post. It will not appear on your blog until you publish it. You can always go back and edit old posts and create new ones.
