Thank you Sar! Prof. G.

Hi Professor, I am trying to post Blog #2 but I'm not sure how too...I can see my blog page but I don't see the edit button to do so. Please advise, thanks. Jenifer S.

jenifer: Did you get this to work? Prof. G.

Professor, I am having the same exact issue as the comment below written by Michelle B. I created a totally different gmail account seperate from MSU and it is saying "You are trying to access Google Admin of montclair.edu but you do not have a valid logged in account for it" I don't know what to do at this point. It isn't letting me use my personal email. Please get back to me soon. thanks. Carmen I.

Hello Professor, While trying to make blog 1, you said that it must be a gmail account. I made a gmail account, and the page that follows says "you do not have access to this service. please contact your administrator." What should I do? Michelle B.

Hi Class: Make sure when you sign up for blogger that you are SIGNED out of your MONTCLAIR G-MAIL -- sign out of everything! Feel free to ask questions. Prof. G

Hello Prof G, Do we have to cite in our blog assignments everything we take from the book? For example (Benkraitis, 30). Kim F

Kim: Please try to paraphrase ideas from readings and then put (Benkraitis, 30). You should always minimize the use of long quotations. I just want you to show me that you did the reading by using author name and page numbers. Does that make sense? Prof. G.
