 * Edublogs Tips**

1. If when you write posts, you do not see spell check on your tool bar above your post, your visual editor may be turned off. To turn it back on, go to your edublog dashboard, think click on users. After clicking on users, you should see Your Profile on the screen, click on it. Then you will see a box next to "use the visual editor when writing." If there is no check in the box, then you need to add a check in order to get spell check and other helpful tools on you toolbar. 2.If you try to sign into your Edublogs account and run into an error message saying you need to reset your password, click on the link appearing in the error message box and it will ask you to type in your username or your email address, enter either one. A message will be sent to your email address, go to your inbox, open the email from Edublogs, you will find another link, click on it and you will have a message saying that your password has been sent. Go back to your inbox open the second email from Edublogs, copy the password then go to Edublogs web page and sign in again. Paste your new password and you will be able to get into your account.
