Get started with your Blog

It's time for you to set up your blog. We have already created a Group Blog for everyone. Use the sign in we gave you already to access this.

1. Set up an individual blog using your own email address or group email address.
2. Send an invitation to Ms Taylor and Mr Dyas to be authors. (Go to settings, permissions. Send it to: dunravenmedia@gmail.com)
3. On your group blog set up a links list for each person's individual blog. Name it: 'Individual Blogs' and for name the individual links like this: First Name's Blog eg. Sarah's Blog
4. Create a links page called Useful Links and create a link back to dunravenfilmmedia.blogspot.com and dunravena2film.blogspot.com
5. Lastly, make sure you are able to sign into the school's portal so you can access documents.

Once you have done all of these things, you may personalise your blog, but do NOT include your surnames or photos--and keep it professional.

Now get blogging!
