The purpose of this activity is to enable you easily and quickly to label other posts on your blogs with appropriate labels. Labels, in addition to the reverse timelines on your blogs' home pages and archives, give blog visitors quick and easy access to posts of interest. The set of labels below includes those your classmates, peers, and I want you to use help us find and review your writing assignments.
Here's what I'd like you to do first:
Create a new post entitled Startup Labels;
Copy and paste the labels below into the body of your post;
Copy and paste the labels below into the Labels field at the foot of the editing window, with commas between them;
Preview your post, to make sure you have included all of the startup labels (15); and
Publish your post with a word count in square brackets at the lower left corner.
Startup labels:
- books, brainstorms, drafts, essay prep., essays, free-writing, graphics, links, media, movies, outlines, quickposts, reviews, [revisions,] typing, websites
Next, you need to go to the blog Dashboard > Settings > Layout > Page Elements view (direct from Customize link in the top right side of the page frame on your blog's home page). In the sidebar area, click Add a Gadget, and select the gadget for Labels. The Configure Labels pop-up window offers several options; if you show All Labels, Alphabetically, they will be easy to find and use.
Don't forget to save the changes you've made to your sidebar!
