Creating a Blog
Signing up for a new blog at http://blogs.cas.suffolk.edu for the first time. In these steps, you will create a username, blog title, and a new password to access your blog.
Enter a username and your Suffolk email address and click Next
Usernames will display with your posts (first initial, last name is a good convention). Be sure to enter the verification code as well.
Enter your Blog Name and Blog Title
Blog Names cannot have spaces or symbols. By default, it will be your username, but you may go change that to your actual blog name.
Choose your Privacy level and click the Signup button.
Choose whether or not your blog is public or private. You can modify this later under the Privacy settings. Often, people will start private until they set up the blog the way they want, they then change the setting to public.
View the confirmation screen and check your Suffolk email inbox.
Log in to your Suffolk email and click the link generated for you.
Copy the password generated for you, and click Login
You will also receive and email with this password
At the Login screen, enter your Username, Password, and the code, and click Login
Next, you will change your password to something you will remember. Don't click Remember Me until you have changed your password in the next few steps. Otherwise, you will have to go in and delete your browser's cookies.
