Instructions to students

To post your original blog entry to this site, please make sure you have been approved as an "author." You can do this by responding to the email that was sent to your UA email address on May 28, 2014. Your blog entries should be original work and should incorporate information from the course textbooks and other appropriate, academic, high-quality, and reliable information that you find elsewhere. Please provide links and other evidence when you make claims. You are invited to spice up your blog entry with images. The easiest way to include images is to turn them into jpgs or find them as pre-existing jpgs on the internet. Please emphasize sociological, psychological, and/or gender theories, analysis, and general approach in your blog entries. Encourage debate, comments, and general reader engagement through your writing. Your blog posts will be visible to the entire online world, and you must post using your real name. So make the posts excellent and show off how much you are thinking and learning in this class. The usual rules of civility apply.

To post your original blog entry, follow these directions: 1) use Word or similar word processing to write a well-organized, original blog entry that you save to your computer. 2) after you have been approved as an author (see your UA email for the invitation), go to this URL http://psycho-socio-sexuality.blogspot.com/ 3) click on Log In at the top right. Use your UA email address and your UA password to sign in. 4) To post, click, New Post on the top right. 5) Copy your blog entry from Word and paste into your blog. 5) To insert a photograph or other image--find an image online or create one and save as a jpg to your computer. Then click the little picture icon at the top of your blog entry, select the jpg you want to post, click okay. You will then see a line of options--click small or medium to resize your image, and select Wrap so the text will wrap around the image. 6) To publish your blog entry, click Publish at the top right. You can also click Save to save for later, or Preview to see your blog entry. If you use Preview, note that you will have to return to your original blog post by clicking on the tab at the top. If you decide to edit your post after publication, go back into your post by clicking on the little pencil icon next to your post.

If all else fails and you can't figure out how to do this, email your Word document and jpg to your prof and ask for her assistance.
