Accepting the Invitation to the Blog




You will receive an invitation to the class blog in your TU email. There is a bit of a trick to this. You must have a Gmail account that is different from your TU email account. If you already have a Gmail account you are good to go. If not you will have to create one.

Do not try to use you TU email to accept the invitation to the blog. You will be locked out, creating problems. [If you have any problems, send me you Google account address and I will send you another invite.]

The invitation email will look like this (This example shows section 702):




This gives you 2 options:

1- If you already have a Google Account, hit the Accept Invitation button.
That will take you to a web page that says, “You have been invited to contribute to a blog”
Click on the Accept Invitation button there and you’re in.

2- If you DO NOT have Google account and only have a TU email, click on the ‘create one here’ link in the email. 
If this link does not work (it didn’t on my computer) use this link:

This will take you to a Signup form. Fill out all the information. 
After you have your Google account, go back to the email and accept the invitation.

One last thing:
Once you have your Google Account, sign up for Google +. This will ask you to add a head shot. This will make it possible for the other students in the class to see who you are. This makes the class more personal and therefore more collaborative.

The Blogger 'Accept Invitation' web page looks like this, but with your name in the top line:
