Begin portfolio!

Today you will start designing your portfolio!

1. To start, go into your blog and mark all your entries as "revert to draft". That saves them, but takes them off your main page.  Clicking the button on the left below, then revert to draft will do it for all of them.
2. Clear the Journal page and delete it.
3. Create pages for all the things listed below--should be 6. Remember, after you create the pages, you must go into Layout/Pages to make them show up.


To be included in your portfolio:
1.  Your home page should have a picture of you, a good title, some information about you, and a famous quote about writing (make sure to cite who said it.) This is 25 points.
