To set up a WordPress account for a class: 1. Go to WordPress.com and follow the steps to create a free account using either your name or a pseudonym. 2. Be sure to use your WordPress username when posting to the class page to receive credit for assignments. 3. If you need help setting up your account, email the instructor your username once created or see them for assistance. Establishing this online connection is required as much of the class work will take place online.
