How to do it...
Once you have the ideas for your title and URL, the following steps are actually quite simple:
- When you go to http://edublogs.org for the first time, click on the link on the bottom-right that says Get your free blog now, as you will see in the following screenshot. Websites are updated frequently, so it is possible that the button may move. However, there should always be a button to create a free account.
- The username is important as well. When you leave a comment on someone else's blog, your username is displayed. As educators, everything we do publicly needs to be professional. Online reputation is extremely important. Generally, we do not want something silly or irrelevant. Variations on your name or the title of the blog are acceptable; your name may be preferable, as it is possible to run multiple blogs on the same account. The following screenshot shows how your username will be shown with any comments you leave:
- Lastly, there are different types of accounts in Edublogs. Make sure that you choose Teacher as your account type. Unless you are a student, Teacher is most likely the best choice. Upgrading your account to Pro is always possible later on. The following screenshot shows the different types of user accounts:
- Unlike many similar services, you do not get a confirmation e-mail, nor do you have to have to prove your identity by checking your e-mail. This can be helpful when students are registering, but make sure to keep track of your username and password as you will not get a copy in your e-mail.
