Fill in the data

Fill in the spreadsheet and save as a .csv file

Notes:

1. Username must not include surnames and we suggest you use year of exit to group users by year;2. Passwords should be age appropriate and should be individual;3. Display name is how you want the author’s name displayed on the blog;4. Emails must be unique but can be dummies. We suggest you use a combination of username and the

school’s blog domain, e.g. [email protected]. Use “contributor” as the role assuming you want all blog posts to be moderated.
