If you are having difficulties with blogger, or are wondering how to accomplish certain actions on your blog, you can check blogger help.
For example, find out how to post a picture.
You do not need to "follow" other students per se. Although you can. Following is mostly about using a Feed Reader (such as Google Reader). If you follow someone, their blog updates will show up in your Reader so that you are notified whenever they post something new.
What you do need to do is to make sure as the semester progresses, that you are commenting on at least one other student's blog (from your section of Life Drawing I). You will need to comment at least once on every other student's blog during the semester. You are responsible for keeping track of whose blog you've commented on.
To comment on someone else's blog, first find a blog either on the left or right column (labeled art 301-001 ~ fall 2010 [right column of blog] and art 301-002 ~ fall 2010 [left column of blog]).
You will then be able to post your own comment. Ideally, the other student would then offer a response to you--even something simple such as, "thanks for your comment."
Blogging is a way to build a community of readers and writers, a way to connect beyond the classroom.
I will spend most of my time looking at the blogs when I grade portfolios. During other times of the semester, my assistant (a graduate student) reads them every week and gives me a report to let me know how you all are doing--if the posts are long enough, thoughtful enough, if you have posted a good-quality image, etc.
