SJB 103 Blog Instructions

Welcome to the Blog for SJB103

Because the password supplied is a random and very difficult to remember one, you’ll want to set your own.

Click the Profile tab on the left navigation

Fill out the fields in this page and change your password to something secure but something you can remember. Make sure it does not give you an error because you made a password that is too weak.

Figure out a way to save this password (email it to yourself, maybe)

Roll over the Posts tab on the left and select “Add New”

INSTAGRAM – For Instagram posts, it’s as simple as copying and pasting, but you’ll need to keep reading for the details. (see below).

WRITING ASSIGNMENTS – For your critical feedback writings, you’ll make a post with text, links and/or images as you did in your SJB102 courses (see below).

NOTE: Your Instagram accont that you use for this class work will need to be a public account. If you have your account set to Private, you will not be able to post to the blog, as the images will not show up. You can either change your settings to public or create an Instagram account just for this course.
