In Oncourse Blogs Beta, how do I add a blog entry?

Note: Blogs Beta is available as an open pilot. You can add it to a site or to My Workspace; see Adding, removing, hiding, or reordering tools.

Note: To include an image in your blog entry, first upload it to Resources; see Resources.

To add a blog entry:

1. From within the Blogs Beta tool, click Add blog entry.
   
   
2. Type a title for the entry in the "Title" field.
   
   
3. Type your entry in the rich-text editor. You can save your work by clicking Save Draft at the bottom of the page. To resume editing an entry you have saved, on the blog page, click Edit Entry under the appropriate blog.

   Note: Pasting text from Microsoft Word directly into the rich-text editor may result in garbled output, even if the text appears correct in the editor. Instead, to insert formatted text from a Word document, click the Paste from Word icon, and paste using Ctrl-v or Command-v. For details, see Pasting from Microsoft Word. Some users have reported problems using Paste from Word in Internet Explorer 9.

4. To add an image, click the Insert/Edit Image icon. In the window that opens, paste the URL of the file; see Finding the URL of a Resources item.
   
   
5. Use the radio buttons below the rich-text editor to select who can see the entry. Choose from:
   
   
   • Only site administrators and I can see this entry: In most course sites, this makes the entry private between you and your instructor(s).
   • All members of this site can see this entry (default setting)
   • This entry is publicly viewable
   
   
6. To publish the entry, click Publish entry.
