Having trouble posting?

Since this week and weekend marked our first round of assigned posts, I thought I'd review the steps:

First of all, you should have already created and sent me a gmail login. I have responded to every message that I received, which means that you should have gotten an invitation (sent to your gmail). Just follow the link.

When you arrive at this site, look in the righthand corner for a link that says "Sign in." Do that. Use the login and password you created for gmail.

Signing in should lead you to a "Dashboard." Once there, you should see our blog: Writing as History. Under our blog name are several options. Choose "New Post."

*Very important: don't choose "Create a Blog" in the corner; if you do that, you'll create your own site, and you won't be writing on our site at all.

After you've clicked on "New Post," you'll arrive at a screen that looks a little like an e-mail screen. There's a title box and a message box. Just fill these in, and make sure you sign your name.

Choose "Publish Post" to make it appear on our blog.
