Posting Your Articles...

Solved: how to post your articles.

Here's what to do:

First, go to www.blogspot.com. In the upper right hand corner, you'll see username and password boxes. Enter "rcbsam" in the username box and "etifwe" (don't ask...) in the password box. I trust that you'll share these bits of info with no one, not even John "Don't Hate Because I'm a Zealot" Ashcroft.

When you get to my list of blogs, click on "The Infield Fly Rule." On the next screen, click on create a post. You're in business at this point - a screen will come up that will enable you to either write the article as a post, or cut and paste it in the post.

Remember to just post one copy - no need to bring me a hard copy. I'll review them and "comment" to your post.

Remember that what appears in this box is not what appears on the blog - make sure you hit "preview" - up in the right hand corner above this box - to see how things look. The font and spacing are a little different. Otherwise, it's almost just like creating a word processing document.

Please, please, please give your article a snappy headline in the "title" box. Take your best shot - remember that a headline must have a verb in it somewhere, as in:

Man Bites Dog or...

Bush, Kerry Deadlocked or...

Eccentric Drexel Professor Finally Enables Journalism Students to Post to his Blog.

And the rest of you: remember to offer constructive criticism to your colleagues!

Good luck - email or call with questions.
