What to do when students post incorrectly

Often students will post as new posts rather than as comments, so I figured I'd develop some help for what to do when that occurs.

First, this is what the blog SHOULD look like, with your initial topic as a new post, and the Cornerstone students responding properly as a comment:

However, often they will add a new post, rather than a comment, and it will get confusing.  Only you, as Capstone students, should be adding new posts.

So you will have to remove their post, and add it back in as a comment in order to keep the blog "clean."  First, copy their post and add it in below the original topic that it relates to as a comment (they typically do this with the introduction posts).  Add some context, so that they know what's happened to their post, such as "added to the comments section for Jane Doe by Jane Moody." 

Then, go into the dashboard by clicking the "B" next to the blog name:  

There is an option in the dashboard to "edit posts."  In that option you can delete a post:

Then your blog should be ready for your next topic.  And MUCH easier for the Cornerstone professor to grade!
