Posting an entry in 4 easy steps

Since a few of us are new to blogging shenanigans, here are some quick instructions on how to publish your immortal words.

1. You’ll begin by logging on to Uthink, the U's blog system, at http://blog.lib.umn.edu/. You can also just click on the "UThink" link at the top of our sidebar over there on the right. That'll take you to a screen that looks like this:

UThink Login

The log-on link is over on the left-hand sidebar right under the words "About UThink." Once you’ve logged on, you’ll see the main MoveableType menu. Your screen probably won't have all of the same blogs that mine does, but it’ll look more or less like this:

Changing names in MT 1

2. Then you just go to the WritLife blog and click on "create a new entry on this weblog." That’ll take you to a screen that looks like this:

Create New Entry screen

3. Then you can either compose directly in the window or copy/paste over from whatever word processing program or text editor you like to write in.

4. When you’re done, click the "save" button at the bottom of the screen. Et voila! You’ve posted on WritLife!
