1. Go to the website Sinau.me

2. Press “create an account”

3. Fill the details. The Singup Code is sinau.me082010.

What you need to pay special attention here is about the “Blog Details”.

You have two options—you can just register without a blog, or register with blog. Better think it carefully, because if

you add the blog at the later time, you will have some problems in posting articles in team blog (I’ll explain this at the

end of this article). If you think that sinau.me is something you want to use beyond this course, then you’d better

create a blog at the moment. If it is just for this course, then registration only is enough.

4. After these, press “Complete Sign Up” and then you’ll have your own account.

Then you’ll come across the problem—you can only find your own blog in “My blog”, in which way you only post in

your own blog rather than in SinauNetwork team blog and cannot see your articles appear in the homepage. If so,

don’t worry. Just follow the steps below, and then you can post in the SinauNetwork team blog.

1) Go to Dashboard (Steps before this are the same as in other conditions), then go to “My Site”

2) In My Site you can see two blogs: yours and SinauNetwork.

3) Then go the Dashboard of SinauNetwork

4) Here you can post your article in the SinauNetwork team blog.
