Due: Wednesday, April 15 - Creating a blog

For the duration of our preparation period each trip participant will be keeping an online blog to record your thoughts, reactions, and responses that relate to this trip. We will be inviting a number of CBC people, including your teammates, to read your blog and make comments as your training progresses. Hopefully this will begin a conversation about God, missions, and you that will change your life.
First you need to create an account. If you already have a gmail account, simply go to http://www.blogger.com/home and follow instructions for creating an account. When it asks you for a blog title, please put your name at the beginning of the title (like “Zuly’s Peru Blog” or “Diana – blog de Peru.” Then follow the instructions and you’re set.
If you’re not a g-mail user, you will have to create a gmail account. Be sure you write your login and password somewhere because if it isn’t your primary e-mail address, you will forget it.
Once you’ve done that, send the URL to Jeff at jeff.penn1@gmail.com. Your blog will be linked to this page.
When you're finished, proceed to Assignment 1.

NOTE: If you created a blog last year, you can use it again. However, you should archive or delete all of the old posts so they don't confuse the people who visit. You will still need to send me the link.
