Everyone's First Assignment

Your first assignment is to set up your blog. You have some freedom but there are a few requirements.

  1. The title of your blog must be based on your name so that your classmates, parents and I can find it. I recommend that you first check the availability of your first and last name. If that is not available, first initial and last name, first name and last initial, etc. If you have a question - ask me.
  2. You may choose any template you like but I ask that you make it easy to read. Try light writing on a dark background or dark writing on a light background. Do not put a pattern under your text. You want people to read your blog, make it easy for them.
  3. Set up your comments with word verification ON. This will reduce spam.
  4. Set up your blog to invited readers only and invite your classmates, your parents and me.
  5. Write your first post welcoming your readers to your blog. 
Easy enough. You are almost done for today. Go check your e-mail and accept the invitations of your classmates and then go to each of their blogs and "follow" them you also need to "follow" this blog so that you can get your assignments and examples. You are also more than welcome to "follow" your photographers friends who are in my other classes. The more photos you look at, the more you will learn.
