Photo of your alias
If you find a photo image of the economist who gives the first part of your alias, you can download that and then re-upload it to your Blogger profile. There is a section for profile image. If you include that image, then all your most current post listed on the class site will have a thumbnail of the image, as will any comments you make.
This is not necessary, but it is a nice touch that will personalize our site more.
Hyperlinks in posts
Unlike what you may be used to in other online environments, if you simply paste a link into your blog editor it will publish the text of the link, but the link itself will not be live. To make a live link, you need to select the link tool from the toolbar. Also, the custom is to highlight some text and link that rather than to insert the url into your text.
Hyperlinks in comments
There is no toolbar for making comments. Comments do accept basic html commands. So if you are comfortable with that you can use those commands to put in a link or to format your text. If you are not comfortable with that, ignore this. It is not necessary. I really don't know if it is a skill that people need to have after they graduate. Ten years ago I would have said it was. Now, I'm not sure.
