Week 1: Blogging Lab

In the lab portion of class on August 28th and 29th, you should:

1. Set up your student blog.
2. Create an about page or update your profile to briefly talk about yourself and how you are going to use this blog.
3. Create a sample post that includes text, a picture, and a link to an outside resource.
