Setting up da Blog

So this week's lab task is to get your personal webspace setup on Blogger. On Blackboard you'll find the slides I showed in class with the required elements. Essentially you need a blog, a picture of yourself, your first name, 3 links (one is the class website), and your first post.

I want to add one more thing....an Archive of your posts. This is a default element on the blog templates but you may have deleted it. It is very helpful to be able to click back in time to see what you've done.

One final thing....as for the picture, if you do not want to use your Google profile pic (and all the stuff that accompanies it) you can go a different route. Add one more gadget (Image) from the Layout sidebar and upload your selfie to it. Add your name as a caption and you're set.
