... make a blog post for Mr. Logsdon's class. Okay, I know this is lame, but I can't think of anything that I can do at the moment and I'm a pretty lame person. So, without further ado, here is how to create a weekly(ish), 150 word blog post:
1. Sit down (preferably at a computer).
2. Turn on the computer/open the laptop.
3. Open whatever you use to get to the Internet and make your way to your blog on the blogger website (TIP: I have the link to the blog bookmarked on my computer. It saves some time I guess).
4. Find the prompt for that week and read over it carefully. Usually, the blogs are very straightforward and do not require a lot of research or critical thinking. Ideas about what you are going to write about should be popping into your head as you read the task. If not, read over it a few times and, since you all are interesting and intelligent students, you'll eventually think of something. If you still have no ideas after a few minutes, try to think of something funny and creative that others normally wouldn't think of, or resort to writing about something lame, just like I'm doing right now. Now you have your idea. YAY.
5. Click the "Create New Post" link and your canvas for your literary masterpiece will be displayed for you.
6. Give your blog post a title. It can be anywhere from the name that Mr. Logsdon posted for the assignment to something super witty and creative. I prefer a straightforward title so that I can skim through the page and quickly see which posts I would like to read without having to start each one (no offense to anyone.. I love you all).
7. WRITE WRITE WRITE. You have a minimum of 150 words to express your deepest feelings that the prompt has stirred up inside of you. Be creative. Don't be afraid of what people will think of you, since you pretty much know everyone who would read your blog. Depending on how much you like the topic and how much you want to write, the post could take you anywhere from three to twenty seven minutes (I really don't know, but just don't spend all night writing one post).
8. CHECK YOUR SPELLING. PLEASE.
9. Once you are happy with your post, click the "Publish" button and WHA LA (I'm not sure if that's how you spell that but I'm almost done). Your work is now available for everyone on the blog to see.
I'm sorry if this was kind of sarcastic and snarky. I'm tired.
