Posting on our site is quite easy!
Firstly, you want to make sure that you are logged into your Commons account. The login will consist of the username and password you created for yourself on the first day of class.
Next, you want to make sure that you are on our class site. Which hopefully you are considering you are reading this post! If you are, next to our course name it will say “+New.” Skip the next step if you see this option.
If you do not see this option, you will need to add yourself to the site. This will be located on the left side of your screen. Continue scrolling until you see the option that should say “Join This Site.”
If you are not currently added to our class site, it will say “Add this Site” in a gray box. Click this option. Once you are added to the course site, your toolbar will expand.
Hover over the “+New” button of the toolbar (Shown in the second image of this post). Click the “Post” dropdown. You will be taken to a new page to begin your post.
Type away and that is how you post! Remember that each blog post is expected to be 200-250 words. In addition, every blog should include a picture to keep our website looking nice.
