Yikes!

How do I post to a blog?

Well, you must first be recognized as a contributor to the blog. If you've read the email that I've sent to you and completed all of the necessary steps, your name will be listed under contributors on the left-hand side of the blog.

After you do the next part once or twice, posting to a blog will become very easy. It looks more complicated than it is when you read the instructions below.

You will likely need to sign in, using your username and password.

If you want to create a new post, you click on "New Post". You can do this in either the intial window that opens when you log in, or in the blog, which you can access via "View Blog". In the blog window, click on "New Post" in the upper right hand corner. Then click the "Posting" tab. Click the "Create" button. You will be in the "Compose" window.

In the Compose window, add a title. Type in your text. Click the "Add Image" button (looks like a mountain with a tree and blue sky) and follow instructions to add an image. To add the image, you browse to your image file and select it, choose whether you'd like the blog image to be on the left, middle or right, accept terms of service, and then click "Upload Image".

You can do something similar if you wish with video.

Once you're done, click the "Publish Post" button. You can then click on "View Blog" in the new window to see your new posting. You will be taken to the blog. Your new posting will appear separately from my old posting and from all others'.

If you wish to edit or modify your post, you can click back on "New Posting" in the upper right hand corner, and then click on "Edit Posts" in the new window that appears. You will be taken to a window where you can view, edit or delete your post. If you choose edit, then you get to edit your post and republish it.- Dr. Edwards
