Responding to Others' Posts in the E-Anthology
Responding to others' posts is an important part of the E-Anthology. The public forum was created to give teacher writers feedback and support. Remember that when responding, you want to be careful to pay attention to the "bless, address, and press" requests.

1. From any of the forums, or by searching the post tags, choose a post to read carefully. 2. After reading, click on the "add new comment" in the bottom right hand corner. 3. A new window will appear. If you want to view the post you are responding to as you type, click on "in response to" 4. After you have typed your response, you may click on "preview" to see how the comment will appear when published, or "save" to publish the comment on the post. Again, you can make changes to your comment after it has been published by clicking on the edit icon in the lower right hand corner of your comment. You can also reply to any comment by clicking the curved arrow button in the same corner. 5. If you wish to see all of the comments you have made, simply click on your name in the right hand corner, then on the "comments" tab under the "recent activity" in your personal commons page.

Congratulations! You have now learned how to complete all of the objectives set out for you in the E-Anthology. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me and I will get back to you. If I don't have the answer, I can usually find someone who does. Thanks! And happy posting!

If you are comfortable with technology and would like to do things like update your profile and add media to your posts, please see the YouTube videos by Mike Rush on the E-Anthology site located on the "[|Answers to the Easy Questions]" page
