Blogger Confusion - please read!

There has been some confusion with blogger and how your site links to the main blog hub.
Hopefully this clarifiies it but if not please see me ASAP.

1. You should have set up your OWN blog site. You can do this by clicking 'create new blog' . Put your name, AS Media Studies Foundation Portfolio and your candidate number (if you know it). Do not post directly to our blog hub, this acts just as a gateway for us and the examiner to find their way to your blog site. Also this is where Mr Hudson and myself will be posting advice ang guidance and you can also look at each others' blog sites.

2. You need to make sure your blog site is not a google + account otherwise the link on our hub page won't take us or the examiner directly to your blog - it will take them to your google + page which pulls together all of your googly ways. You can change this back by clicking on the link at the bottom of this...

Welcome to the THS Media Studies blog hub.

 Greetings student people! 

This will be the hub for your Media Studies portfolio work. You should be linked in the bottom corner, if not let me know as soon as possible. I will use the blog hub to monitor your work so it is essential that you are uploading/posting everything you have done. 

I will be posting information regarding deadlines, course information, practical tips and anything else relevant! 

You should be posting regularly and, as this Media Studies, using a variety of methods of presentation to make your blog suuuuuuper cooooool. Ahem. 

Please see the list below to find out loads of different ways you can present your work on blogger. Let me know if there is anything you want to do, but can't access here, and I will ask IT to unblock it.

No excuses now, be creative...
