How to...

Create a Post

1. Head to Blogger.
2. On the left-hand side, scroll to "Posts."
3. At the top of the page, click "New post." This creates a new post for you. Make sure to give it a title (where it says "Post title").
4. You can save your work at any time by clicking the "Save" button on the top right. To access it later, you can find it on the homepage under "Posts" in the subfolder called "Draft" (or "All").
5. Once you're ready to make your post public, click the "Publish" button on the top right, next to "Save."

Add a Link

1. Select the text that you would like to create a link for. For example, if you wanted to  create a link from a citation (ex. Angeli et al., 2010) directly to the associated journal article, you would select the full citation first. 
2. Then, click the word "Link" in the toolbar (if you mouse over it, it should say “Add or remove link”).
3. Under "Web Address", enter the URL you would like to link to. You can also change the text to be displayed, if you would like.
4. Click "OK."

Embed an Image

1. Click the icon in the toolbar that looks like a portrait (if you mouse over it, it should say "Insert image").
2. If you'd like to insert a picture from your computer, click "Upload" and then "Choose files." If you're using a picture from a URL, you'll have to click "More" and then "From a URL."
3. Click "Add selected."
4. If you need to make any changes to the image, such as adjusting the dimensions, click the image. It will allow you to change the size, recenter it, add a caption, or delete it

Insert a Video

1. Click the icon in the toolbar that looks like a film slate (if you mouse over it, it should say "Insert a video").
2. If you'd like to upload your own video, click "Upload" and then click and drag your video into the window. If you'd like to use a video from YouTube, click "From YouTube" and then enter the URL.
3. Once you have the right video, click "Select."
