Welcome to your own blogger page..........

So guys, Mr Hall and I have been working very, very hard to get your blog up and running and now we need you to test your blogs


Task 1:
Introduce yourself in your blog and include a brief summary of your magazine and your target audience

Task 2: Upload your pre-lim task and any other work you have done so far into your blog site
This might include:

Mood boards...........
Day in the life of......
Front cover analysis.......


Uploading

Here is a guide on how to upload your documents to Scribd.com.

To do this using openID you probably need to be an administrator of your blog, we can't make you administrators until you have logged in via the invitation you should have received to your school email address. If you did not receive an invitation or you have logged in and not yet been given administrator priviledges please let either Miss Smith or Ms Bostock know. (At the moment the easiest way for me to know if you have accessed your blog is for you to post to it) Once you have administrator priviledges you will also also be able to change the look of your site if you wish, however please leave the student blogs block as it is so it is possible to easily navigate around the blogs, thanks.
