Project 1 Assigned
Blogging
- How to hook up and use a blog.
* if you took the digital is fundamental class, you can use the same blog, Flickr & Youtube accounts you created in that class for this class.
A blog is many things, a personal website, an archive of media, the ability to broadcast a message to a greater audience, even an art piece in itself.
Instead of Blogger, we are going to use Tumblr.
Tumblr is a blogging website that has all the advantages of a social media website. It will also give us a different network to distribute on as Blogger and Youtube are owned by Google.
Making a blog.
1- (if you already have a Tumblr account, skip to #2) Go to the Tumblr website and create an account. You will need a an email account for this. Write your name and password down in your phone / on a piece of paper.
2- After you have account, click the create a blog button.
3- You will be asked for a Title, URL. Skip the "privacy" button and password
4- Make 3 post. A "text" post, a "photo" post and a "video" post.
5- Email your blogs URL to vonstengelj@hartwick.edu so I can follow you.
Show Emile or Joe your 3 post before you leave.
