wiki+blog+posts



You need to generate two posts for the wiki blog by the end of the semester. The posts can be short (two or three paragraphs) and need not be limited to the social media covered by your team. They can also use any blog post or news story as a starting point, but they should contain original reflections on the use of social media by Gen-Y. You could, for example, report on how you and/or your friends use a particular social media. See my post on Wikinvest for an example.You can also use the posts to try out ideas for your final report.

I will work with you if you need help deciding what to post and give you feedback for final editing of your posts.

Posting on wiki blog is easy:
 * 1) Start a draft page for your blog post by clicking on **New Page** in the upper left navigation frame and select the **wiki blog post** template.
 * 2) Name your page with the working title for your blog post (it can be changed later).
 * 3) Tag the page with your name tag so it will appear on your personal page and then create the page
 * 4) Set the notification for the discussion board.
 * 5) Begin composing your blog post - remember you can embed all sorts of things on the wiki page, including pre-formatted documents or slide shows.
 * 6) When you are ready to post your page to the wiki blog, put a notice on that page's discussion board asking me to review it and make any changes to the title.
 * 7) After I review it and we negotiate any changes, I will tag it with a "blog" tag so that it will appear at the top of the blog roll on the wiki blog page. I will also lock the page so that no one else can edit it (you can request that I unlock it anytime you want to make changes) and post the URL for the page on the wiki blog discussion board so that anyone who has set notification for that board will receive an email about your new wiki blog post.
