Creating a Post and QTC Instructions

Your posts should reflect careful consideration of the topics we have read and discussed in class, and may contain links to scholarly articles, videos, news articles, and other credible sources.  Please read your colleagues’ posts and respond to at least two others.  Please write your response by Monday night at midnight. In that way, everyone will have time to read and comment by Wednesday night before class. All comments for credit should be made before class on Wednesday; but feel free to respond to posts at anytime.

Below is a tutorial created by a student in my Spring 401 class. You will likely notice that the title of the blog is different, but all other instructions/visuals apply.

This post serves as a tutorial for properly creating and labeling a post so it may be easily viewed by your colleagues.

To begin, locate the EP 401 blog from your Blogger dashboard.  This will require you to log in with your Google account.

Once you have located the EP 401 blog on your Blogger dashboard, click the "Create a new post" button.

This will take you to the "new post" page.

Before you begin typing your post, go ahead and label your post with your first and last name.  To add a label to your post, locate the "Labels" option in the right-sidebar.  You will need to label your post so others may find your posts to read and comment more easily.

Once you have located the "Labels" option in the right-sidebar, click it.  This will open a text box.  In this text box, please type your first and last name, as shown in the example.  Click "Done" when you are finished.

After you have labeled your post with your first and last name, you may continue writing your post as normal.  When you are satisfied with your post, click "Publish" to publish it to the blog.

Once you have published your post to the blog, check the right-sidebar on the main page for your label.

To view all posts by a single author (colleague), simply click their name.

NOTE:  Clicking a name under the "Contributors" section of the right-sidebar will NOT show you that person's posts.  Instead, it will take you to their Blogger profile.  You MUST label your posts for others to easily find them.
