Adding news items
This is how you and your student will post news items to your blog':
Click on the word "newslink" in the editors only menu (across the top of your window). 
Click on the link titled Create a News Item on the new page that has opened up (the new page is titled "Pending News Items").

In the title box, type in a title for your news item (see next image).
In
the URL box, type in the URL of a site that you want your readers to
visit. You may leave this blank if you wish (see next image).
In
the department box, click on the checkmark for the drop down menu
choices and choose a department which best represents the focus of
your posting. (Departments can be added by selecting prefs in the
editors only menu, then selecting news items.)
In the description box type in the text of your posting (see next image).

Click on the "Create News Item" button.

Click on the "Post to Home Page" button on the next page (the next page should be titled "News Item").

Return to your home page and read your news item.
There, you've done it. Not so bad, is it?
