Blogging 101

When your HEdCen.Com blog account (don’t confuse it with your e-mail account), you chose your username (which also forms part of your blog URL) but you were provided with a password that was randomly generated by the system.

It’s descriptive, it’s feminine (I’m female!) and it’s unique (very important!).
