Four design decisions to consider when building a teacher blog


1. Your username is what you use to sign into your blog dashboard and is displayed on posts and comments you write. While you can’t change your username, most blog platforms do allow you to change how your name is displayed.

In most cases it’s better to choose a username that makes it easier for others to relate to you as a real person.

2. Think carefully about your blog URL.Once your blog has an established audience you’re less likely to want to change your blog URL and educators often use the same blog for the next year’s class.Ideally you want to keep your blog URL short, easy to remember and suitable to be reused for several years.


3. Think about the name of your blog.Choose a name that reflects the purpose of your class blog and your students can relate to.


4. Pay special attention to the size of the font remember the audience small writing may be hard to read.
