Welcome back to the Lifeblog assignment. Today, you should be working on the following:
1. Get your blog set up, if you haven't already. It is ready to go when:
a. You have set up your blog with an address and password and submitted that information to Mr. Stai on the blue sheet.
b. You have set up the permissions so that only invited readers can view your blog. You can find the list to cut and paste for this on the team website. I will work in class to create a link to it on this blog.
c. You have chosen a basic layout and background style.

2. Once your blog is set up, work on your first entry. This first entry should be an introduction to you. What you include is up to you. Be sure to focus on the following writing issues we have discussed in class.
a. Use paragraphs and complete sentences.
b. Capitalize all proper nouns
c. Use apostrophes to show ownership or to create contractions.

Remember: Be patient. Learning new technology takes time. Mr. Stai and the other adults in the building are learning along with you. Don't get discouraged, get motivated. Help each other figure out how to get the program to do what you want. Once you learn something, share it with others so they can do it, too! Be an active learner; we'll get much further if we work together than if we wait for others to do it for us.
