→Step by Step
#'''Outline''': Once your post idea is approved. Conduct further research and outline your proposed post on your wiki page. Include your proposed argument or thesis statement, 5-6 supporting points and references. Each supporting point must be back by evidence. References should be included for all of the supporting points. Let Anne know when you have finished your outline.
#'''Draft''': Once your outline is approved, draft your post. Include a link to the google doc on your blog post's wiki page. Make sure that this link can be viewed by all rice.edu email addresses and can be edited by Anne and your peer reviewer. Use the [[Writing and Style Rules]] to make sure your writing is consistent with other McNair Center posts.
#'''Peer edit''': This step is skipped during the summer. During the academic year, drafts are due one week after your idea is approved. Once the draft is ready for review, tell Anne. She will assign you a peer editor. Make sure that this personyour peer reviewer's name is set in the '''Notes''' fieldin [[Form:BlogPost]]. He or she Your assigned peer reviewer will make suggestions and return the blog post to the writer. The writer will revise the draft based on these suggestions.
#'''Revision''': Give the revised draft to Anne, completing the same process of suggestion and revision as with the peer editor in Step 1. If any large changes are made in this process, the writer will give the new draft to another available peer editor to check for grammar/content one last time before giving it to Ed. Put whether your post is waiting for or approved by Anne and Ed in the '''Notes''' field. This process may have to be repeated more than once if the blog needs further development. Give the final draft Anne for approval.
#'''In Wordpress''': Once Anne’s approval is given, the piece can be posted in the blog using Steps 5-6. See [[Working with Wordpress]] for detailed instructions.
