Your first task will be to set up your personal blog, of course....this means you need to pick templates, layouts, colors, etc...to make your blog a reflection of you. If it doesn't look the way you want right away, don't get discouraged...you can always change and add to it.
For today, please go to blogger and set up your own blog. You will need an email address and will be able to set up your own blog address. Please record your password and such, so that you can always get back in each day. I will ask for a record of these passwords as well.
After you have your blog set up, please do the following:
1. Go to TEMPLATE and pick out your background. You may add images if you like and can figure it out. Blogger is relatively intuitive.
2. Go to LAYOUT and play around with how you want your blog elements to look. Remember - these can always be changed!
3. Write a few lines in the ABOUT ME sidebar. Add your photo as well if you can!
4. Try writing your first blog post using this prompt:
Are you a different person online than in real life? How do you change or not? Write a post (5-10 sentences) about how you are online (using texting, Twitter, Facebook, etc...) compared to how you are in real life when you talk face to face with people.
