 Hi everyone, so in this video I'm going to show you real quickly just how you can get into Blogger, get into the course blog, and start blogging as soon as possible. So you would go to blogger.com. If you're already in your North Shore email account then you should end up on a screen like this, which will say your name, and it will show any blogs that you happen to belong to. So I'm just going to click on our course blog, which is studying popular culture at North Shore Community College. And when you come in here, your left bar isn't going to be as substantial as this, but you should see this big orange button, which is new post, as well as post. And these are really your two most important buttons within the course blog for what you're going to do. So if you're coming in and you're needing to post, right there, that big orange button, you're going to click on that. And already you are into being ready to write your first blog. You want to click up top here and give it an appropriate title. So maybe you're talking about mass culture theory and sports. You might want to give it a more creative title. That's perfectly fine. Here is where you're going to write what you are planning to write about. And over here where you see labels, this is where we talked about the idea of tags, what are the appropriate tags. So you're going to click on labels. And if you notice right down here, there's some that are already there. So if a label already exists that's relevant to what you're talking about, you can actually just click on it and it adds it automatically. But if you want to add more labels or more tags, all you have to do is type in the word and when you're ready for a new tag, you put in the comma. The comma is really important because that distinguishes different words. So you can write in the different pieces that you want, use the comma, and then when you're done, just click done. Again, in this white space here, you can continue to add all the text that you want. But say you want to make something into a link, you just simply highlight it and you click on the link button and you put in the address. So I'll just put in the North Shore Community College address. And usually it defaults to, but you generally want to make sure that the link opens in a new window. But then you click okay and notice it's underlined. So that tells you that it is a link. If I click on it, it'll tell me, it is like. So the other thing I can also do in here is I can also add images. So I can come up here to this bar and I can click on this insert image. And they're gonna give me several different options. I can choose from files that I have on my desktop or on my hard drive. Any images from this blog I could reproduce. I can see if there's anything on Picasso or I could potentially grab it from my webcam if I wanted a picture of me or if I had the URL of a particular image. So a couple different options there. You can also embed media. So again, I can click on this insert a video and it's gonna ask me, do I want to upload it? Do I want to get it from YouTube? Don't want to get it from my YouTube or do I want to get it from my phone? And then finally, I can also adjust the text. So I can highlight it and I can change it to different fonts. I prefer Arial. I'm a big fan of Arial as a font, so I will click that. And then I might also want to bold certain things or italicize other things. So you have all of those options there to use. And when you are done, if you don't want to publish it yet, you can always save it and then close. Or you can publish it and it'll go out to the blog. If you save it and close, it brings you to your drafts. And so anytime you come into Blogger, you come to this overview page and if you want to find a draft that you've been working on, you just click on posts. And you scroll down and look for what it was that you had created. So mass culture theory and sports, there it is. When I'm ready, I can just click on the edit button and go and edit it. If it's something I was fooling around with and didn't want to publish, I could just hit delete. So that's the blog. Hopefully this makes sense, it's pretty clear. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to shoot me an email. Thank you very much.
