Blog PD

PD this week was Blogs.  On Wednesday night, we were looking at:

• setting up a ‘Blog’ 
• ‘posting’ a message
• adding an image /mp3 to a ‘post’

How to Start a Blog

• Go to www.edublogs.org
• Create your own blog name – title – create 
• Print or write your password down
• When in Admin section, go to:
• Users – update password 
• Change Presentation / Theme

Adding a Post  

• ‘wp-admin’ added to blog address 
• Dashboard  – Write a post – Save or Publish
• Some Themes let you add admin options   
• NB: To be able to make a quick post, at the bottom, right click on “Press It” to put a link in favourites

Adding an Image

The image must be uploaded first, then added to a post  “send to editor”  

Same for Podcasts – songbird.mp3 (Do you like the song?)

If you set up a blog let me know, I will comment and count time towards PD.
