4. Create your own blog

NOW..... Follow the steps as instructed

in the youtube video below to create your own blog.

Keep the following in mind as you create your own blog:

1. Come up with a creative title for your blog. This title should reflect in some ways your ideas about reading, but not necessarily limit your topic choices.

2. Find an interesting subheading to include under your title (you will need to use the design button and then go into Settings to add this). You may choose to search on the internet for a good quote about books or reading, just be sure you include the name of the author who has written it.

3. Choose a user name that will make you easy to identify (your first name and last initial) in your blog posts. Do not choose your first and last name for this - for safety reasons.

When you have created your blog, I will post a link to each of them on the class blog so everyone in the class may have access to it. Links to your classmates' blogs will be found by clicking on their names in the sidebar of the class blog.

(note: to find your blog address after you have created it go to

customize - settings - publishing)

When you are done all of this, and you have selected your novel from the library go to. . . 5. Your first post . . . found in the blog archive and follow the instructions given.
