 Step 4:  Click on New Post and create your post.

 Step 5: View your blog.

3 points extra credit - embed a youtube video in your blog. (can be done anytime during the training)

1 point extra credit - Post a blog entry to the library events blog or the what we're reading and watching blog. You get on point extra credit for each entry throught out the training.

Again tell Sue that you did extra credit to be sure we don't miss it.

 Confused?

• Before you get frustrated, please ask for help.  Vicky Chase & Sue Schneider post to the library's blogs often.  Tap into their knowledge! Or, seek out a co-worker who has already completed this lesson. Ask them to show what they know.
