Here is a quick guide for signing up for the course wordpress blog.

  1. Go to http://courses.shroutdocs.org/hist300a-fall2016/wp-admin
  2. Click the “Log in with a password”
  3. As your user name, enter your Fullerton username (everything that appears before @cas.fullerton.edu in your e-mail address), and as your password enter “password”
  4. After you’ve logged in, you should see the “dashboard” which looks like this:Screen Shot 2016-08-23 at 4.24.15 PM
  5. In the left-hand menu, hover the cursor over profiles and click on the “your profile” link that appears.
  6. Scroll down until you see the “reset password” button.  Click on it.
  7. You are then able to either copy the (very secure) password generated for you or create your own.  You might have to (as I did in this example) agree that your password is not very good (i.e. click the “confirm use of weak password” radio box)
  8. This page is also the place that you can change your displayed user name (by default, your user name will be your CSUF handle)
  9. Once you’re done, click “update profile”

You are now a HIST300A blog author!
