Posting and Commenting

One more thing: Remember there's a difference between a 'posting' and a 'comment'. The comments are your responses to someone else's post. They will not be displayed as the main text and are visible only when you click on the "comments" line that tags the postings.

The postings are of course where you should each be posting your questions. Keeping the postings separate (i.e., instead of 4 people posting to the same place) allow others to respond and comment specifically on your questions -- thus creating multiple dialogues that are connected to the original posting.

Hope this helps.

How to post to this blog

Hi everyone,

To post to the blog, remember you must login (which is a different step from simply pointing to the blog site and reading and responding with comments). Here are the quick instructions:

1. Launch your web browser

2. Load this site: http://www.blogger.com/start

3. At top right corner, click "Sign in to blog" and supply login ID and password (from when you created your account), then click "Sign in"

4. Viewing the Dashboard, look in in the Blogs list window, and on the "Com 610R" blog line, click the green "plus sign" for a "new post".

5. In the new window, provide a "Title" and then type your posting in the text window below. Basic formatting options are provided. You can "preview" the post if you want.

6. Click the orange "Publish Post" when you're finished (or "Save as Draft" if you need to save and come back.)

That should do it!
