How to Set Up Your Blog

There are several great blog sites that you can choose from. To make it easy for anyone not comfortable, I have chosen Google to create some "how'to" guides.

If you do not have a Google account:

1. Go to www.google.com/accounts and click on “Create an account now” on the left hand side of the screen. Follow the instructions for creating an account.

After you’ve registered for a Google account or if you already have a Google account:

1. Go to www.blogger.com , sign in with your Google Account and click on the orange tab that says ”Create a Blog.” (If you are having difficulties, Blogger gives you the options to “Watch a video tutorial” to help you set up your blog. If you already have a blog with Blogger, please create a new one just for this class. Please make your username something containing your actual name such as your first name and last initial. Also, please title your blog your first name and our course name (i.e. Deanna's CTE 576 blog).

2. As you are going through the steps to create your blog, you will already be personalizing it by Choosing a Template, for example. However, you will be able to personalize it even more later.

3. Add your blog’s url to the discussion area in VISTA.
