Adding Multiple Authors to Your Blog

In the case of wanting to create a blog to share authorship amongst a grade team, you need to add multiple authors. This is a relatively easy task but currently has one little work-around for CBE teachers. The one problem we currently have in the CBE is that our G Suite/Google email address [username@educbe.ca] will not except any external emails. To set up another author on your blog you‘ll need to send the new author an invite. This the email they receive would be considered an external email as it comes from Google/Blogger. To get around this you’ll need to send the invite to the any new CBE authors to their corporate email address [username@cbe.ab.ca].
