Instructions for Creating Your Blog

ONE person in each group should complete these steps:

1. Go to www.blogger.com. If you have a blogger account or a gmail account, sign in with that; otherwise you’ll have to create an account.
2. From your blogger dashboard (http://www.blogger.com/home) click the link that says “Create a Blog” and follow the instructions.
3. You’ll need to specify a title for your blog (this can be changed later) and a URL address for your blog (this can be changed later). You’ll also need to choose a theme, but this can also be changed later.

Once you have created your blog, invite your other group members to become authors by following these steps:

1. From your dashboard, click on the “settings” link below your blog’s name (or, if you’re already in your blog’s control panel, click the “settings” tab)
2. Click the “permissions” link in the row below the tabs
3. Click the button that says “add authors.”
4. Enter your group members’ email addresses and click “Invite.”

Each group member will receive an email with instructions explaining how to sign up for the blog.
Once you have confirmed that everyone can access the blog, everyone in the group should re-read the post to make sure it is free from errors.
