How to post something on the blog!

1. Make sure you are logged in. You will need a google account to do so. Get one! It's free!

2. Make sure you have access to the blog. I need to give you permission to get access to posting. You should have received an email with a link to start posting. Follow the email's directions.

3. Once logged in and having access, you can now start posting! In the top right corner it should say 'New Post' click there. (If it doesn't say that, it probably says 'sign in', so do that first).

4. It will bring you to a screen where you fill in the Title and Body of your post. For newbies, stick to the 'compose screen'. If you know some html, click on 'edit html'. From the compose tab there are some basic formatting functions like bold, italics, etc.

5. Be sure to add a label to this post. Labels are just tags or keywords that describe what the post was generally about. Also, please always put your name as a label so that we can easily group all an individual's posts together. For instance, labels could be "Erica", "instructions", "introductions", "PCR", "Harry Potter". Just put something that could be useful in the label field. A post can have multiple labels, just separate them with commas.

6. You can preview your post, but when you're ready, click 'Publish Post', and you're done!
