Creating Your Blog

1. Go to blogger.com. Follow steps for creating a blog. For your display name, write first name and last initial. For title, come up with something creative and relevant to the purpose of the blog. For your URL, write something easy and clear - could be same as title or just your first and last name.

2. Once you have started, email Ms. Hoque at: fh2216@columbia.edu. Give her your name, class, and url.
