Things to think about while posting...

Please keep the following in mind when posting:

1. Use 'white space'. When composing a blog, keep in mind the reader. As such, the online reader does not wish to troll through heaps of non-paragraphed text in order to find satisfaction. Divide your writing with easy to read and navigate paragraphs. That means hit the enter/return key twice. Easy enough?

2. Check your spelling, grammar, etc. Use Blogger's features, and if not satisfied there, type your piece in Word or another program first, then copy & paste. Got it?

3. Label your stuff. See that box at the bottom of the post? Please enter appropriate labels for all of your posts so that we may group them later, or visitors can see all common postings. All you have to do is enter one or more labels, separated by a comma. Can you do it? I knew you could...

You guys are all doing great. Let's kick it to a new level! And if you have questions, please ask them... We're here for you to guide you along the way. Always available, always open!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOW TO POST

Here's how you post your assignment on this blog:
  1. Make sure you have been added as an author - you should have recieved an email from Mr. Johansson on how to confirm this. If not, you need to contact Mr. Johansson in order to resolve this as soon as possible.
  2. Once signed in to the Valley Voyages Blog, go to POSTING, and click CREATE NEW POST.
  3. Give the post a title - make sure it makes sense. For example, if you're writing about the geography of the valley, then you might name it "The Geography of the Valley", or something like that.
  4. Add your text in the main text box. You may mark it up, i.e. add bold, italics, etc just like any other text editor.
  5. Label your post - located on the bottom right hand corner of the text box. Separate words with commas as appropriate.
  6. Click PUBLISH POST.
  7. You're done. Now, go leave some comments on the others' postings.
