Creating a Blog

Your first task is to create a blog to record your reading review. This may be a public blog, or you may choose to restrict read access to just the students and tutors on this module.

Choosing a blog host or software and investigating the way blogs are used may be a mini-research topic for one of the students. However, I suggest you simply use Google's Blogger as the host for your blog, register an account and set up the blog. This first session will provide an opportunity to do this.

1. Create an account on http://www.blogger.com

2. Create a blog - you can have several blogs on the same account

3. Choose an appropriate template

4. Set the permissions you require

5. Enter some basic identification for the profile

6. Create your first entry.

Later you may want to
change the template
edit the template - you have to do this to change the menu on the side of the page

When you have created the blog, email me with the link to the blog.
