How Did You Set Up Your Blog?

Every part of this blog I have learned by trial and error.  I encourage other teachers to jump in and begin an educational blog with their students.

There are many options out there, but I use a Blogger account. It is tied to my Google Gmail account and I moderate all the comments from that email address. (To moderate is to accept or reject a comment. I like to moderate by email. You can moderate from the Blogger site, too.)

Here is a link to the Blogger features and you can join from there if you'd like. You will need a Google Gmail account.

To Make Your Blog:

1.  Under the SETTINGS tab, choose a name and a description for your blog. 

2.  Under the SETTINGS tab, make your choices about comments.
(I prefer to moderate comments ALWAYS, and I put my email address in the box in that section. With this option, all comments must be approved by me to be published.
I do not put my email address in the area marked "Comment Notification Email" as I found it redundant.)

3.  Under the LAYOUT tab, choose your template and font colors.


4. Create a new post!
