Finishing up our blog set-up: Here are the instructions on how to invite the rest of the class to be authors on your blog

 Hi all! Some people have run into some snags in inviting others to be authors on their blogs, so I've written up the steps below that I hope will be helpful.

Please check your blog dashboard to see whether you have all your fellow students plus  me signed up as authors on your blog! If not, please follow the steps outlined below to invite everyone -- or if there are just a few people who haven't yet responded, please try deleting their original invitations and then re-inviting them. 

We're almost there!

Cheers

Susan

How to invite the rest of the class to be co-authors on your blog:


• Open your blog, and choose "design" from the menu on the upper right hand corner of the screen to get to your dashboard. (I've used the 342 class blog as the illustration here, but this applies to EDCP 442 and EDUC 450 as well). 

• Choose "Settings" from the menu on the left hand side of the dashboard.

• Scroll down in Settings to "Invite more authors"

• In a separate tab, open our class spreadsheet of emails and URLs.


• Highlight and then copy the whole column of our emails


• Go back to your blog Settings --> Invite more authors and paste the column of emails there. Check to make sure you are not inviting yourself! You can delete just your own email from the list.


• Press "send", and you should have invited the whole class to be authors on your blog.


Once everyone has finished these steps, and we have everyone accepting one another's invitations, we will take the next step to set the privacy setting to Reader Access --> Private to authors. (But please don't do this till we get everyone signed on!)
