Starting a new entry.

After signing into Blogger, and clicking on our blog’s
title, PCC Art History, you will
land on a page known as our blogging Dashboard
[it will say PCC Art History Overview at the top]. From here, click on the
orange New Post button, found in
the left-hand column, right above Overview.
Enter a title for your new entry and begin crafting your draft in the Compose window that appears.

Inserting links into your entry.
|
Direct links will help
your reader move seamlessly to articles or other sources that you might want
to reference in your post.
To insert links into your
entry, highlight the text where you’d like the link to appear. Then click on
the word Link, found in the
editing toolbar. Paste the web
address for the site you’d like to link to in the message box that appears
and click OK.

Inserting images into your entry.
|
Images help engage the
reader, and are helpful to reinforce your writing. It’s really easy to insert
images into your post!
Begin by placing your
cursor at the location in your draft where you’d like your picture to appear.
The click the Add Image icon – it
looks like a picture of a mountain with a blue sky in the background – found
in the editing toolbar.
In the window that
appears, you’ll have several choice of where to locate your image – you can
upload an image from your computer, or from the web, for example.
After telling Blogger
where to find your picture, click Add
Selected. You’ll see that
your image appears right in your post. By clicking on the image itself, you
can then select a size and layout [these options appear after your image is
highlighted in a toolbar below the image.
|
Publishing your entry.
|
Once you’ve finished your
draft, inserted links to outside sources, and added any images to your post,
you’re ready to publish your entry!
To add your post, just
click the orange Publish Post
button found in the top right-hand corner of your Composing window. Be sure
to check your final copy online to see how it looks!
