Hi everyone. Well, it would not be the first time this has happened, and I must apologize for the possible confusion that I have caused because of my fluid use of the term "post" to indicate a number of written actions that you can take on this web site.
A post is a new thread of discussion, essentially. Thus, a single topic, message, or prompt is considered a post.
A comment or reply is when one offers a remark under (literally, underneath) one of these larger threads. Your journal entries are essentially always going to be comments; that is, replies to the larger post-topic itself.
To publish a comment, simply click on the title of the post or on the link at the bottom of the post which appears as: "## comments". Go to the bottom of the post and you'll find a blank text box in which you can type. I would suggest typing your e-journals on MS Word before and saving them... just in case anything goes wrong with the internet or your computer. It's never a good thing to lose your work, so back it up by saving a hard copy in a folder on your hard drive.
Therefore, to clear things up please only COMMENT to the posts labeled as journals; you do not need to post a new thread of discussion in order to complete your journal entries unless told to do so.
Attn: David Tran and Sylwia Wiecek. I have moved your posts and published them as comments under journal #1. If you'd like to copy and paste, and republish them yourselves, please do so and I will delete my entry.
Questions? Email me, or... comment to this posting!
Happy writing.

Thanks so much for clarifying, Prof D! However, I have one more question! Where is the link at the bottom of the post that appears as "## comments?"
ReplyDeleteIf you are viewing the blog's main page all the posts are displayed, and crucially with some important information underneath each.
ReplyDeleteYou'll see the post "tags," which are simply common identifiers that will be used to classify types (or, genres!) of posts as the semester moves along.
You'll also see who authored the particular post, followed by the number of comments; hence, "## comments."
The last thing is an email icon, which enables you to send a particular post to an email address of your choosing.
Hope this helps.
Got it. I understand it for next time. Thanks for the clarification.
ReplyDeleteAt first I didn't get it but I totally understand.
