Adding Other Bloggers

Hello bloggers. Below are the instructions for you to follow to add the other members of the class to your blog:

1. I assume your gmail account is open, but if not, open it and click on the google apps icon on the top right hand side (its the icon that looks like a telephone dialling pad).
2. When you click on it, it will give you lots of options. At the bottom, click on "more" and then scroll down and click on "blogger".
3. When the page opens, at the top, next to the name of your blog, you will see three icons: one with a pen on it; one with two pages and a little arrow; and one saying "view blog". Click on the little arrow on the side of the middle icon (the two pages).
4. This will show you a menu. Towards the bottom, there is an option called "layout". Click on "layout". This will open another page.
5. You will see a template of your blog homepage. Go to the part which says sidebar-right-1 and click on "edit" in the "bloggers"section underneath.
6. This will open a new page called Configure Link List. Now go to my blog and click on the name of one of your classmates. This will open their blog. Copy the URL of their blog (the address of the page) from the address bar. Go back to the Configure Link List page and paste the URL in the space which says "New Site URL".
7. In the space which says "New Site Name", write the name of the classmate.
8. Click on "add link" and then click on "save" at the bottom. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. If you don't save it, it won't appear on your blog. 
9. Repeat this for all the other classmates.

Great! We are now ready to read each other's posts and comment on them. Any problems, send me a mail to the gmail address.
