Pathways to Blogger

Wow!  I just had a groundhog's day moment signing into blogger... Sign in, wrong email, contact your administrator as the account is not activated, ok I can handle this, use the email I created specifically for this class wrong again! Rinse repeat start all over...sigh. And I sit here thinking of my fellow class mates who may not be technical (I do consider myself a little bit technical)   The syllabus states that you should spend 4 hours on this course weekly...yeah but add an extra 30-60 minutes to trouble shoot how to even get onto blogger!  Ugh.

I figured it out!  So....here my steps to signing into blogger =)

Ok so you are logging to HSU to figure out what is do for this week.  You check your email to see responses or notes from teachers, yada yada.  You go to 480 and you notice it is blogging week.  The stress is escalating anxiety and frustration is starting to consume you!   STOP IT!

1.     Relax.

2.     SHUT YOUR BROWSER down (Every browsing window and tab)

a.      The reason why everything has to be shut down is that your browser is smart, it already knows you were signed into a type of Google account (HSU utilizes Google email) it automatically tries to sign you into HSU email.  To prevent frustration shut down your browser and start over with a new browser window.

3.     Open a new browser window

4.     Go to Gmail.com 

5.     Sign into the account you created specifically for this class not your .edu account the .gmail account

6.     Once you are signed into your account go to the right in the title bar, click on the more drop down menu

7.     Go to Blogger and start blogging.

Hopefully this is stress free blogging for the rest of the semester =)
