This week we just have some more accounts to get signed up for. This should be a touch simpler than it was last week. The first thing we are going to do is make our blogs a little bit easier to share. To do this we will install some chiclets. Rather than adding them one at a time, you can just install a plug-in. There are many to choose from but I use http://blogplay.com . So go ahead and get this installed.
Next, we are going to sign up for a feed reader. You should know what RSS is by now, but you should view your content the way that your audience will sometimes view your content. I generally use http://www.google.com/reader but you can use whatever you want. Sign up and then follow your own blog, follow the class blog, and follow some other blogs that are of interest to you.
The reading this week mentioned Twitterfeed.com. Go ahead and try it out.
I also need you to sign up for an install Webmaster tools. In the future, we will be talking a little bit about SEO, but we need to start collecting data now. This will be easier to setup than analytics because you will only need to link it to your analytics account.
The last thing I need you to do this week is to add me to your Analytics account so I can view your reports. To do this, sign into your analytics account and click on user manager at the bottom of the page. Then click on Add user. You will need to enter my Google account name which is shown in the blackboard announcement. You can add me as "view reports only" or admin, it doesn’t matter either way.
All this and two posts are due by Sunday at 11:00pm.
