Basic Blogging

Basic blogging rules:

1. “Chunk” the information into brief concise sentences.
2. Keep the information within the size of a screen. Try to reduce the amount of scrolling down the page the user has to do.
3. When using images, ensure that they are an appropriate size which compliments the text (see Image Guidelines).
4. Keep the title brief.

To post to the blog:

1. Log into your account at: www.blogger.com
2. Click on create content on the left side of the page.
3. Select Blog entry from the list.
4. In the Title box, type in the title of your blog post. Keep your title brief and concise.
5. Add content by typing directly into the body area of the edit screen. If you already have a story written in a Word document you can copy and paste from the Word document.
6. Please refer to Editing the Content Area - Body Section for full details on using the body section.
7. Keep in mind the content of your post should be contained within one ‘screen’ size. This is for the convenience of the user, the less scrolling the post requires the better.
8. Leave Input format, Book outline, Revision information, XML sitemap, URL path settings, URL redirects, Authoring information and Publishing options settings as default.
9. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click on “Save”. Your post will now appear on the home page.
