  • On the course menu, click Blogs. (The access point to Blogs/ link on the course menu may vary depending on how your lecturer has set-up the course site menu)
  • On the Blogs listing page, click the name of the blog you want to access.
  • On the blog's topic page, click Create Blog Entry on the action bar.
  • On the Create Blog Entry page, provide a Title.

you can use the tools available on the text editor to insert images, media, tables, emoticons, change font size/colour etc.
