Ok, here’s how Creative Comps work. Click on the link to CC#1 on the right, and sign into the blog. If you don’t sign in, you won’t be able to do anything, since it’s designated an “invites only” blog to keep the creepers of the world out of our hair. You don't need a Gmail account, but you will need a Google account (they're two different things, eh?).
Next, click on the “New Post″ link on the top right of the page and cut/paste your Creative Comp into the editor window that will pop up, then click on "publish post". In the title space, put your name and the title of your Composition in this format: Name — Title (that’s a dash between them…not a hypen, eh?). This title thing is a really simple instruction, but I guarantee that some of you will mess this up. Betcha!
Note that the blog will remove your indents, so you may have to reformat slightly to "internet paragraphs" to indicate paragraph breaks in your pasted composition. It's a bit of a pain, but unless you want to get into HTML editing, you'll have to live with it.
To comment on someone else’s post, just click on the “comment” link below the post. As noted in class, your comments should follow the following basic format: One positive comment, one constructive criticism, and a suggestion as to how to fix the issue raised in the constructive criticism. Please observe basic netiquette and play nice. You might also wish to click on one of the various "reactions" boxes below the posting itself to reflect your initial reaction.
So. Go forth. Be awesome.
