How to accept an invitation to join the blog

Since so many of you have been having problems accessing blogger I volunteered for Teri to test the system. She invited me and within 1 minute I received the invitation to join. I followed the steps listed below and now I am posting. If you or your teacher friends have problems please email Teri individually. She will be happy to help you gain access to the blog.

1) Teri has invited you to the blog and you will receive an email entitled "You have been invited to contribute to Blog Moderator".

2) Click on link under "To contribute to this blog, visit: http://www.blogger.com...."

3) You will be directed to a sign in page.

4) It should say "create your account now"

5) Enter your primary email address, the mailbox at which you received the invitation.

6) Create a password.

7) Put in your display name. Make this your real name as this is the name which your peers will see when you post. Nicknames are difficult to trace.

8) At the bottom of the sign in page there is a word verification blank. You have to copy the letter you see above it into the blank.

9) *IMPORTANT* Now, you need to check the "accept terms of service" box.

10) Click continue.

11) You are now back to the sign in page. Your email will appear automatically as the user. Type in your blogger password.

12) Click "accept invitation"

13) The blogger opens to "Manage your blogs". The blog, RAISSE-ing the Bar, appears here. In addition your display name appears in the upper right hand corner.

14) From this point, you can click "+ new post" or click "view blog" to see other peoples post. Click this if you are ready to make your own comments.

15) Later in the day you will receive a confirmation email from google. There is a link you must click on to verify your account. Cut and paste the link into your browser. Once you are connected to the site, your account is verified automatically and by default you are taken to the blogger sign in page. At this point your registration is complete.
