Blogger Lesson 5

Posting

Posting is also quite easy, but I thought that I’d go over a couple things anyway.

33. Click on the “New Post” tab.

34. You will then see the Create Posting page by default. 

35.You must fill in the “Title” field.  This serves many purposes and its importance will be very clear later on when we talk about RSS and Aggregators. 

36. The editor similar to others that you have likely seen.  It is also similar to the formatting options in MS Word.  You can also edit HTML using this interface(if you click on the “Edit Html” tab).  I wouldn’t suggest doing this unless you are familiar with HTML.  Maybe later in the semester we can explore this further.

 37. Like everything you do an a computer, SAVE OFTEN.  That is what the “Save as Draft” button is for.  You post won’t be published, but it will be saved.

 38. If you are ready to post, click on the “Publish Post” button. 

39.You can also Edit, View, or Delete postings from Post page

Blogger Lesson 4

Comments

25. Next, click on the “Comments” link in the settings menu.

        26. You will then see the Comments Settings page.

28. Click on the “Save Settings” button.

29. Next, click on the “Email” link in the Settings menu. 

29. You will then see the Email Settings page. 

30. If you would like an email sent to you each time you publish a post, put your email address in the “BlogSend Address” textbox.

31. The “Mail-to-Blogger Address” is a really cool option.  If you set this up, you can send an email to Blogger and the email will be posted in your blog.  To do this put in a unique name (see where I entered “linguavita”) and check the box next to “Publish”.

32. Click on the “Save Settings” button if you changed any settings.

14. You will then see the “Create” new posting page.  However, let’s pass this up for now and take care of some of the blog settings.

15. Click on the “Settings” tab and change setting which you want

17. Make sure to click on “Save Settings” when you are done.

18. You will then see a confirmation that your settings were saved.  You will see this each time you save your settings. 

19. There are 2 options here that you didn’t have before: (1) Republish your blog and (2) Republish Index.  When you are done saving all of your settings,then I would suggest clicking on the “Republish” button.  This applies the changes here to all of your blog pages.  “Republish Index” is good for very big blogs because it is faster.  Don’t bother with it unless your blog gets huge (hundreds of postings).

20. Click on the “Publishing” link to move on to the next set of settings. 

21. You will then see the “Publishing” Settings page.

22. If you make any changes, click on the “Save Settings” button.

23. Next, click on the “Formatting” link.

24. You will see the Formatting Settings page.

Blogger Lesson 2

10. You will then see the “Choose a template” page.

 11. Blogger has quite a few templates that you can use.  These determine what your blog looks like.  While none may be perfect for you, pick one that speaks to you a little.  Click on the radio button under the template you want to use and then click on the “CONTINUE” button.

12. You will then see the confirmation page confirming that your blog has been created .

 

13. Click on the “START POSTING” button so we can start doing some more with

the blog settings.

Blogger Introduction and Lesson 1

Computer Assisted Language Learning

Blogger Tutorial

       Tutorials

While there are many, many blogging applications out there, I think that the easiest

by far is Blogger.  I personally use Blogger, in some form, for the 4 blogs that I

currently run.  Even if you decide to go elsewhere after this class, using Blogger

and getting used to Blog-speak will prepare you well for the next application you

use.

This tutorial goes over the basics that you need to utilize Blogger for the

requirements in this course.  I’ll start with registration, then go over set up options

and lastly the commenting feature.

Registration

Blogger makes getting started REALLY simple.  The set up hardly needs explanation

(but I will anyway).

1.   Go to http://www.blogger.com

2.   You will see the Blogger homepage

3.   Click on the “CREATE YOUR BLOG NOW” button to begin.

4.   You will then see the “Create an account” page. 

5.   Fill out the information and click on the “CONTINUE” button.

6.   You will then see the “Name your blog” page.

7.   this is an important page because this is where you first set your online

identity.  A title and address are very important.  You want to choose ones

that mean something to you and are easy for others to associate with your

blog.

8.   You’ll also notice the “Word Verification”.  This is a picture of a series of

numbers and letters.  Computers have a difficult, if not impossible time

“reading” these sets of numbers.  Therefore this is a security step that

assures that computers aren’t being used to register accounts and clogging

up the Blogger system.  You’ll also see these when posting comments to

people’s blog posts.  This is to make sure that spammers can’t post

comments on your blog.

9.   Fill out the information on this page and click on the “CONTINUE” button.
