Hi everyone,

Yes, still feeling bad that we did not fully maximize our work session today with the surprise technical difficulties that occurred. Again, we will have other hands-on sessions to really start thinking about designing unique and artistic project sites.

In the meantime, start working on  Journal Postings for your UO Blogs site. Remember, Journal #3 is due before class (by 10a.m.) on Thursday.  Journals #1 & 2 (completed by hand earlier) are due on the blog site by Friday, 10a.m.

Here are some good resources to help you get started with your blogs and if you run into questions along the way:

• Publishing a New Post: http://help.edublogs.org/writing-your-first-post/

• Editing a Post: http://help.edublogs.org/editing-posts/

• Post Visibility (how to make it ‘Private’):  http://help.edublogs.org/post-visibility/

• Adding Links: http://help.edublogs.org/how-to-insert-links-in-your-post/

• Adding Media (VERY important!  Be creative and think about multi-media for your postings, remember these Journal Postings can help achieve multiple different ‘Achievements’): http://help.edublogs.org/user-guide/media/

Additionally, you can use the UO IT Blog help pages at https://it.uoregon.edu/blogs/generalhelp.

AND if you get stuck please feel free to email us. We would rather assist you than not know about the problem.

Again be creative and have fun with this postings, this is a visual/image based class, and as has been noted in class we are a visual culture, so post visual resources that help make your postings even stronger!

Best,

Robert & Julie
