Steps to Post to your Group

Whenever you want to view the site go to “view blog”

Your post has already been created, but you will need to edit it by changing “student” to your name.

In helping your executive set up a post, have him/her click on “new post” at the top right and put his/her name in the title space and begin writing.

When you want to add a link, click on the link icon and add the web address. To add a photo, download it to your desktop then click on photo icon and add from browser.


To add video (such as one from a youtube site) go directly to that site, copy the embed code and then paste it directly to your post.


Once your executive has written his/her thoughts on a story and added any links, photos, or video make sure -- and this is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT -- that the correct Group Number (i.e. Group 2, Group 3, Group 4, etc) is typed in the bottom right box where it says “label for this post.”

Click "publish post" and view your work.

Whenever you want to edit click on the orange Blogger icon at the top left, go to “manage post” then click on “edit” next to your entry, change or update and publish post again.

Of course, you can delete at any time.

Once each person (including you) has entered a comment on each person’s post in your group…you are finished.

Of course, you can add more content later during or after this conference.
