How to Create Posts?
Please review How to Create posts and Participate in the discussion forums.
Creating a New Post in a weblog is just like creating a new discussion thread within Connect: you are creating a message to which other users can respond and comment. To create a new post, place the mouse over New on the top of your screen and select Post in the drop down menu. You can also Add New Post from the Dashboard:
You will be presented with a template that you can fill out to write your post. Start off by giving your post a title: this will be displayed on the weblog page. Then, use the Post field to type in the body of your posting. You can edit using either the wysiwyg editor (Visual) or use html (Text) and format your text with colours, links or embed media (images). For videos, you need to paste in the URL of the resource and the link will automatically be embedded in your posting. If you are going to embed a video, you have to already have the video hosted somewhere on the web.
When you create a post, you need to assign it to a particular category, which makes it easy to find. We have created a list of categories in the weblog that correspond to the weeks in the course.
If you make a mistake when assigning your posting to a particular category, you can go back and edit your post and change its category. To do this, click on "Site Admin" in the drop down menu, look for the "Posts" and then click on Edit. Any posting you have made to the weblog will appear and you will be able to edit the one you want to change. By default, postings that are not assigned to a category are "uncategorized." You don't want to have any posts that are uncategorized - there should be a place for anything you have to say in the course.
You can save a draft of your posting to work on at a later time without actually making it public. Only you are able to edit a posting that you have initiated. When you are ready to make your posting public, navigate to your page using the "Site Admin" link, edit your page and then click on the Publish button on the posting template page. All postings will show up in the left column, dynamically, with the latest topics at the top, but you will also be able to find them either through the Category links on the right-side column, through the tag-cloud or, even, by searching the weblog.
You can write an excerpt of your posting if you want, which will give people a shortened version of what a longer post might be about, but beyond that, you do not need to do anything with the other options that are listed.
Responding to a posting, or commenting is just like responding or replying to a message in Connect. To do so, you simply need to look for a link at the bottom of the original posting that will either indicate that there are comments or that there are no comments. When you click on that link, you will then see a template that allows you to enter in your own comments. Simply fill in your comments in the provided text field and then submit. Your comment will then be connected to the original posting and will form part of the thread of comments that will grow as others also respond to the original posting. Once you try out commenting a few times, you will quickly get the hang of it!
