How to make your first post on Blogger

After you have accepted the invitation to join our blog,

1. Go to http://blogger.com/start, to the site with the big blue banner and the orange B at the left. You will see a sign-in space to the right.
2. Type in your username and password and click "Sign In."
3. Once you sign in, you come to the "Dashboard" page. There is a list of blogs you belong to under the heading "Blog Name." You should see NDSU English 320 discussion group listed there if you have successfully accepted your invitation to join. Click on that link, and it brings you to a page with a blue button near the top left titled "Create a new post."
4. Click on "Create a new post" and a text box appears for you to type your message in.
   There are two buttons below it, allowing you save or publish your post. You can also preview your post (see the "Preview" link above the text box).
