This is a whole lot better...cause I can put links on here! So, no more typing in web addresses and stuff. Don't say I never gave ya nothin'! I'm making it really easy. :)

Also, I don't have to print out your handouts...so we are being greener! Yay!!

Now, you will create a blog using blogger.

You will use this blog as a place to journal, vent about your photography assignments, keep a log of ideas, etc. You will be able to post photos of your work here too eventually. There are a lot of programs out there designed to help you make your blog look cool. :) Explore the Internet (search "blogger templates" and ask me for help if you need it.

You can try http://www.cutestblogontheblock.com/.
http://www.pyzam.com/ is another site to check out.
http://www.deluxetemplates.net/ has some neat stuff, but I've never used it before

Go to www. blogger.com to make your blog. You will need an email address. If you don't have an email address...you need to make one. Make a Gmail account first.


So..let me break it down for you.

1. If you don't have one allready, make an email address.
2. Go to http://www.blogger.com/ and follow the directions to make your own blog. Its totally free!
3. Do a google search for "blogger templates" If you've ever changed your background on myspace...its eerily similar. (i.e. lots of html code) If you go to http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/free.html the process is a little different. I can help if you need it!!!
4. Begin blogging. You may want to search for other photography or art blogs to get some inspiration!! Check out http://picture-of-the-day.com/ for some nice photos....
