Agenda

 * Wordpress Blog**
 * 1) Open Firefox and go to @http://www.wordpress.com/signup (Wordpress works best with Firefox.)
 * 2) Fill-in the fields on the Wordpress_Signup_Screen.
 * 3) **Username**: You will use this to login when you want to work on your blog. It can only have letters and numbers in it.
 * 4) **Password:** Think about who will be editing your blog. Are students going to edit your blog? Are you going to let them login or will you login for them? If they are going to login by themselves, do not use your regular Windows login.
 * 5) **Confirm:** Type the password again to make sure there aren't any typos.
 * 6) **Email Address:** This can be changed later, so it is okay to use your school email address.
 * 7) **Legal Flotsam:** Read the Terms of Agreement and then tick the box. Choose "Gimme a blog!" and click **Next**.


 * 1) This name will be part of your blog's address. Choose one that is easy to remember. Think to the future; //sedroblog// might work for me at my next school. //Class108// probably will not work so well in the future.
 * 2) **blog title:** This name will appear in large letters at the top of your blog.
