Introduction To Blogs

Something else which we learnt how to do in media was to set up our own hurtwood blogs.In order to do this we accessed the blog website www.blogger.com typed in username and the password and clicked on our name. The first thing we did was to choose a new template/background for our blog, in order to make it look more attractive to the reader. To do this, you click on Customize (top right hand corner), then New Template, where you can choose from a variety of backgrounds.
After doing this, we learnt how to post things onto our blog, simply by clicking on New Post. The first post that we did was a written introduction about ourselves. We were encouraged to try and make these entertaining and I experimented with different fonts and colours. You post a blog by pressing Save Now and then Publish Post. We learnt how to upload images onto our blogs by clicking on the small picture next to the ABC sign and choosing the image you want.
You can also access other people's blogs by clicking on their names which are displayed on the dash board. The idea of this blogging is to display our media work at Hurtwood.
