Blog 1: How to Post

To be very honest with everyone who is sadly reading this I just learned how to do this in ten minutes out of anger and sheer determination. If you find this to be the most difficult thing to do last minute you may be right… But that’s why I’m here! To make the process as painless as can be.( Or if you just explored endlessly like i did and just randomly found this you can just skip this and do it yourself already.)

Step 1: Try and remember the account you made at the beginning of school that you would easily forget on the website on CUNY Academic Commons.

Step 2: Finally remember your information and type it in successfully to login to your CUNY Academic Commons account.

Step 2.5: (Just found out you need to join a group to do some stuff but no one wants me so its ok i guess ;-;.)

Step 3: Skip Step 2.5 if you are an unlucky boy.

Step 4: Look on the the black bar and try to find the white plus sign and click in the subsection post to begin your post of insanity.

Step 5: Make a funny title or the same title as everyone else in the class if you want… No pressure.

Step 6: Write whatever you want to share publicly into the description like Microsoft. Or instead just do your assigned homework..

Step 7: Now comes the hard part… Look to the black task bar on the left side and look intensively at Dashboard. Once your done being creepy look right of that and click media to add either music or pictures.

Step 8: Once you have put whatever song or picture in this post you have wanted select on the right side whichever category you belong to and create a tag relevant to the post you are publishing.

Step 9: You can finally publish your post and probably go to sleep because you did this last minute…

 

Blog 1 – How to Post

Creating a blog post can be a daunting task for someone who perhaps is not very tech savvy, or has never done so before. However, it is actually a very simple task  to complete that requires a few short steps.

Step 1: The very first thing you will need to do, is register for a CUNY Academic Commons account.

Step 2: Once you are registered, sign into your CUNY Academic Commons account, and select the group that you are part of.

Step 3: At the very top center of the page will be a plus sign with the word “New” next to it. Click it, and it will take you to the page where you will actually write your post.

Step 4: Create a title for your post in the smaller box towards the top, and begin your post right underneath in the larger box.

Step 5: Once you have finished your post, you can add any media such as pictures ,by clicking the button towards the top that says “Add Media”. You may upload your own files, or select media from the Media Library.

Step 6: After adding any desired media, look to your lower right hand side. In the box labeled “Categories”, choose the group you belong to. Right underneath in the box labeled “Tag Sticky”, select the type of assignment it was.

Step 7: After completing steps 1 through 6, you have finally finished your blog post! Look to the upper right hand side, and press the blue “Publish” button.
