and away we go.

As I mentioned in the email, you’ll need to change the way your name appears on the blog. Right now, it shows your full first and last names. You should modify this to show your first name and last initial. This will shield the writing you do here from Google searches for your full name.

To change the information, you’ll begin by logging on to Uthink at http://blog.lib.umn.edu/. Click on the "Login to UThink" link at the top of the sidebar.

(You can click on any of these images to see a larger version.)


Once you’ve logged on, you’ll see the main MoveableType menu. Your screen won't have all of the same blogs that mine does, of course.

Changing names in MT 1


Click on the welcome link with your x500 ID at the upper right corner.

Changing names in MT 2


That’ll take you to the Author Profile screen, which is pretty self-explanatory. (I’m not screencapping it here because I don’t want to release my ID to the world.) Update your info, click “save changes”, and you should be good to go.

Comments

Hi Krista, I just wanted to drop a line and say thank you for your comment. Thanks for pointing to Sherry Turkle's: "Life on the Screen." I'll have to check it out.

As you know, I was somewhat nervous to take this course due to my level of experience (or rather--lack of). I survived the first week, and I know I'll gain more and more knowledge throughout the weeks (and my fellow classmates will too!). So repeating after you: "AND AWAY WE GO!" :)
