Create Your Blog

In order to get started with this assignment, you must create your blog.  In order to do that, follow the steps outlined below:
1. You need to set up an account on blogger.com.

• Go to blogger.com, and log in with your school email log in and password: 
• username: skywardusername@alpinesd.org
• password: 00+your student id# (if you happen to have a seven digit id#, then your password would be 0+your student id#)
• Once you are able to log in on blogger.com it will ask you to set up a profile.... CHOOSE LIMITED BLOGGER PROFILE. Choose your display name: DO NOT use your first and last name! Choose a pen name that you will write under (please make it school appropriate) you will give me this information in a later step. Do not add a lot of information to your profile itself, or at least if you do, make sure none of it identifies you as an individual, or your location.
• Hit continue to blogger

2. At this point, you should be on a screen that allows you to create your blog. Hit the Create Blog button.

• Give your blog a title (this can be anything from English Notebook, to Dancing Ninjas Falling from the Sky, depending on how creative you want it to be), but it must be school appropriate.
• Give your blog a web address (no punctuation, spaces, etc). This should go with your blog title (for example, if you just went with English Notebook, it could be broncofanenglishnotebook or dancingninjasfalling). Do not add the .blogspot.com... blogger will do this for you. 
• Pick a template.... any template... you can always change it later
• Click "Create Blog"

3. Complete the Blog Creation form to receive credit for your blog.
