Your Blog: An Online Portfolio

Greetings engineers, first up is for everyone to make their own blogger blog. Your blog will serve as an online portfolio for your engineering efforts in our class. Not only will it provide an easy to access repository for your engineering and problem solving efforts, it will also help us cut down on paper/waste.

Before we get going on making our individual blogs, is there any criteria we want to set forth regarding naming conventions? A good title (blog, book, movie, etc.) helps capture the spirit of the story. The following are some themes that resonate with our efforts:

Engineering
Problem Solving
Technical Problem Solving
Principles of Engineering
Engineering Design

Are there any other themes that might be suitable for our class story or your experience? Please comment below.

We'll discuss briefly in class on Monday the 23rd. After discussion you'll choose a name, have it approved and create your blog.

Millions of people have made blogspot blogs. I trust you can work with your peers to figure out how to do this. If you're having problems figuring this out, try the following steps to make your blog:
1) If you don't have a gmail account, go to www.google.com and click gmail. Choose to register for gmail.
2) Sign in to your gmail account.
3) Go to www.blogger.com
4) If you've signed in, you should be given the option to create a blog. Click the Create New Blog button to make a blog.
5) Choose a blog title you like (this can be changed later). Choose a URL that is available. This is permanent so make sure you are happy with your pick.
6) Register your blog.
7) Start blogging by creating a new post!

Questions? Thanks.
