Setting Up Your Blogs

To set up your WordPress blog, do the following:

1. Click here to load WordPress in a separate window.
2. Click here to load the Word document containing all directions.

Follow all directions exactly.  We will discuss your first post more in class, but if you finish setting up quickly, you may begin an introductory post in which you state your blog’s purpose and focus for the next nine weeks or so.  Individually, your introductions will vary.  Speak to me about it in class.

Blogging Guidelines

At all times, you must obey the rules of the school and classroom.  This includes (but is not limited to) the following:

- No profanity or inappropriate language.
- No disparaging of other students, teachers or classes.
- No inappropriate media or links, including (but not limited to) pictures, video or music.

In addition, you may never mention yourselves by full name.  You may never give any personal information, including (but not limited to) your email address, which should be set to private in the settings of your blog.  Protect yourselves while you are online.
