How To Set Up A Blog

For this course we will use the blog format to professionally document your time in this class. 



E-mail your blog address to me before the second class meeting. 
  • Your blog address is the name you used for the url followed by ".blogspot.com" 
  • For example, lauramongiovi.blogspot.com
  • This format is needed so I can access your blog. 


How do I begin to set up a blog? 
  • You need a google account to set up a blog. 
  • Use a professional name for your blog. Try to use your proper name as you will be establishing yourself as a professional artist with the blog. Also, if I need to recommend you or your work to anyone, I can send them your blog link. 
  • Use blogspot.com (or may come up under blogger.com) to set up a personal blog. The videos below show you how to set up a blog and how to post  information. Feel free to search for another video tutorial. 
  • Use the "simple" template (same template used in the tutorial)
  • Do not use a colored/patterned background. 
  • Replace stock image in header or leave blank. If you want to include an image in the background header, the image must be your own art work




  


What do I put on the class blog? 
  • I created a blog checklist for students. The document is in Canvas, in the File Section. The document also includes guidelines on formatting, photographing work, how to write statements and more. 
  • The document is title "Blog Guidelines and Checklist". 


When are blog postings due?
  • Due dates are in the document mentioned above.
