Most of you have probably posted on a WordPress blog before, but in case you haven’t: once you log in, find “Posts” in the left column, then “Add New.” From there, it’s pretty intuitive. Of course, you can paste your text in if you want to compose somewhere else. And there’s an “Add Media” button underneath the title and permalink. 
We’re going to use this blog primarily to post a few short essays for the rest of the class to read. This blog supplements our OAKS page, but it doesn’t duplicate it. OAKS is the command module for the course — it’s where you’ll get assignments, link to voicethreads, turn in most of your work, see your grades, etc. For more information about Southern Studies at CofC: http://southernstudies-minor.cofc.edu/
