Today is the first class! We will set up your Blogger.com page!
The rules are very simple, but today will be the most difficult class. It will be much easier after today. When we finish you will understand why. Please follow me and ask questions if you need to.
For every class, please DO NOT USE Google Translate! It does not work correctly and creates terrible English nobody can understand. If I think you are using Google Translate (or Weblio, Deep L, etc.) the work will not be accepted. Actually, many students have given me essays that say "Translated by Deep L" at the end! What!? You don't try to hide it? Are you crazy?
Do not use AI, like Chat GPT, for the same reason.
As it says in the syllabus you must use a PC or Mac for every class, including today. iPhone and android will not be accepted. iPads might be ok, but they have settings that often stop Blogger from working correctly.
1-sign into blogger.com. Blogger is owned by Google so a Google email must be used. a DHU email account will NOT work, despite the email being provided by Google. Your email address will be private, so do not worry about having it shown publicly.
2-Choose an ADDRESS name for your blog page. please keep it simple with ONLY your FIRST name and LAST 3 digits of of your student number. So for example If your name is Emi and your student number is A24DC123 it should be emi123.blogspot.com. Since there are many students, this is the easiest way for everyone to remember page names.
When we register our blog pages, there might be a problem. We are registering many pages from one IP Address. So Blogger will stop registering because it thinks we are robots. So only the first few can register, the rest must wait 30-60 minutes or use another IP address. Sorry! It is very shoganai...
Please use your iphone or ipad 4G/5G to register, if you can afford the data. It will not be more than a few MB...
Also if you are on iphone or ipad, you might need to clear cookies/cache. There is some problem with this that does not happen usually on PCs.
The address for my (KEN THE TEACHER'S) page is https://dhu2025f.blogspot.com/
This is where will begin each class and where assignments will come from, so please have it open and ready at the start of each class.
3- Set your Display name! You must use your REAL NAME, no nicknames! Set up a profile with a photo. It does not have to be your face, it can be anything, a dog, a flower, the moon etc. It can not be an orange letter B.
4- Choose any style, color etc that you like. Please write one post to make sure your blog is working.
5-When you finish, please post a link to your website in the comments to this post. I will read it and reply. If I can see your page, then everything is OK and you are done for today.
