Notes on Your First Blog Posts

Blog Posting Notes

---

1.    Please remember to use a unique title. For example, “RLW Reading Discussion Questions/Answers” is not unique. Who posted this? What type of post is it (in-class, major assignment, peer critique, etc.)?

2.    Please use the proper labels that I ask you to use. For example, the first posting should have used the following labels: in-class, writing, section xx.

3.    Please do not create labels. I will provide labels for you. Please click on “Show All” next to the label box and choose the labels that you want (or begin typing the label and select from what shows up in the box). Remember that all postings should have at least 2 labels: “section xx” and the type of assignment that you are posting.  

4.    Please remember to “Preview Post” before publishing. Make sure that your post looks the way you want it to look.

5.    Please remember to publish your posts. Saving a post as a draft does NOT publish it to the blog. It is each student’s responsibility to ensure that her or his post is published to the blog and is not just saved as a draft.

6.    Please examine the right side of the blog (make sure that you open up the archive titled “3/20 – 3/27”). If you look to your post and see that you received full credit (as everyone who properly posted did), then please continue to post properly. If you do not see the note that you received full credit, then please correct your posting by 10 p.m. on Monday 3/28 to receive half credit.
