I'm watching you..............

Hey guys,

just a quick update..........I've been checking the blog and well done to those students who have begun to comment and upload images onto the blog...........

Remember, by Thursday you all need to have completed your evaluations and start putting them on the blog

Happy Easter chicks

Ms Bostock

Introducing your magazine in your blog

SOME ADVICE.............

Now you all have your own part of the blog to publish in, time to test it out.

Task 1:

Introduce yourself in your blog and include a brief summary of your magazine and your target audience

Task 2: Upload your pre-lim task and your music pages into your blogging area

Uploading

Here is a guide on how to upload your douments to Scribd.com.

To do this using openID you probably need to be an administrator of your blog, we can't make you administrators until you have logged in via the invitation you should have received to your school email address. If you did not receive an invitation or you have logged in and not yet been given administrator priviledges please let either Miss Smith or Ms Bostock know. (At the moment the easiest way for me to know if you have accessed your blog is for you to post to it) Once you have administrator priviledges you will also also be able to change the look of your site if you wish, however please leave the student blogs block as it is so it is possible to easily navigate around the blogs, thanks.

To upload videos Click the Add Video button (next to the Add picture button) when writing a new post. Click the browse button and find where the file is located, click open. Give the video a title, agree to the terms and conditions then press upload. this will then embed the video into your post - it may take some time to upload.
