The public posting of service-based environmental health learning activities is intended to foster a greater understanding of issues in environmental health, while also providing helpful and informative information to the “stakeholders” that may be affected by the issue.
The commentaries and presentations seen here are authored by public health graduate students enrolled at Walden University.
Welcome to the PUBH 6165/8165, Environmental Health service-based learning activity public weblog. In your respective section of PUBH 6165/8165, you will be posting a commentary, slide (or possibly a video) presentation on an environmental health issue that has potential impacts on a community.
For those of you unfamiliar with posting to a public weblog site, you may need to take a little time in the WordPress site – most of the procedures are intuitive.
Drs. Shana Morrell and Raymond W. Thron can assist you if you encounter difficulties. Send either Dr. Morrell or Dr. Thron and email to seek assistance.
Instructions will be provided during the coming week ten of class. The instructions will be posted in your course site, as well. And, if you should have any difficulty in posting, please contact me at [ raymond.thron@waldenu.edu ]. Thank you.
If you already posted, how do you go back to see your post and the comments on your post? Besides, how do you get to see/read other student’s post and have a chance to comment on it?
Hello, I am trying to post a power point on this website for my class but I have not been successful. Can somebody please walk me through or provide a link where I can get information on how to post a power point in this website?
Thank you,
As indicated above, instructions will be provided during the coming week ten of class. The instructions will be posted in your course site, as well. And, if you should have any difficulty in posting, please contact me at [ raymond.thron@waldenu.edu ]. Thank you.
On week 9 application, it says to post the slide on the blog today, day 7 of week 9. When I come to the Environmental Public Health Today, it says to post it in week 10.
On course info there are no instructions on how to post it to the site. Please advise as I would not want this assignment to be late.
Thanks
The instructions for posting were distributed to the course instructors on Monday, 4 May. The instruction can be found in the “Doc Sharing” folder in your course. If you do not see the instructions in the “Doc Sharing” folder, please check with your instructor. Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Raymond Thron for information related to instructions.
PUHB 8135 Please I need to submit my assignment
The instructions for submitting your posting can be found in the course “Doc Sharing” folder. The instructions were distributed to the course instructors on Monday, 4 May.
Please I need help to submit my assignment due tonight.
The instructions for posting have been distributed to the course instructors. They will be in the course “Doc Sharing” folder.
I am assuming we won’t be able to post our discussion on this website until this week when we get the instructions. I have already submitted my presentation in the week 9 dropbox.
That’s correct. The posting instructions have been distributed to the course instructors – they should be in your course “Doc Sharing” folder. Sorry about the delay
Dr. Thron,
I am a Walden University student in Dr. Shana Morrell’s Environmental Health course (section PUBH 8165-1). I have a PowerPoint slide presentation I have been authorized to post on the Environmental Public Health Today blog, but I have not been able to do so.
I am aware of the instructions on how to post to the blog that Dr. Morrell made available to us via Doc Sharing on Monday, May 4th.
However, I cannot complete follow all of the instructions I have been given because it appears that I have not been added yet as a contributing author on the Environmental Public Health Today blog. I think this is true because on my dashboard page there is no direct link to the Environmental Public Health Today blog, there is no mechanism available to me to “offer a New Post” and I have no “Media” link in the left-hand frame on that page either. I
registered on the WordPress.com website as “Derbidee” and I cited my real name (Denice Fenger) and Walden University email (denice.fenger@waldenu.edu) in my profile information.
Is there something I am missing?
Or, have I not been disignated as a contributing author?
I have emailed Dr. Morrell the same information.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
Denice Fenger
Ms. Fenger:
Please take another look, it may now be working. If not, let me know – send me an email to raymond.thron@waldenu.edu
Thanks.
Dr. R. Thron
Dr. Thron,
Thank you for your help earlier. I am now able to publish. However, the PowerPoint presentation that I was able to upload to my Media folder is now able to be viewed as a link within the publication.
You provided a link between the publication and a ppt media set for another student (Chavonne Holliday). Could you please do the same for me. I have tried on my own to do this for the past 3 hours.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Denice Fenger
Dr. Thron,
I am having the same problem as Ms Fenger. My name is Yanick and my e-mail is yanick.devastey@waldenu.edu.
Hi Dr. Thron:
I have been unable to post any work even though I have followed your instructions. Could it be that I am not added as a contributor author?
Thank you,
Enna
Dr. Thron,
My correct email address at Walden University is denice.fenger@waldenu.edu.
Thank You,
Denice Fenger
Got it. Thank you.
Dr. R. Thron
Dr. Thron,
I am able to publish. However, the PowerPoint presentation that I keep uploading is not visible in the publication.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Charvonne Holliday
Ms. Holliday:
Your PowerPoint presentation is located in the “media folder.” I saw it there. You needed to provide a link to the your Powerpoint presenation. I took the liberty of doing so – hope that’s OK. It’s a simple matter, but can be confusing.
Dr. R. Thron
I need help with my power point also. I do not see a new post tab either.
Hello,
I can’t determine if my power point is loaded properly. Thanks in advance for your help,
Toni Beavers-May
The PowerPoint that you uploaded is located in the Media file folder. I saw it there. Remember you will need to “link” to your PowerPoint slide set that you uploaded.
Take a look at the instructions – following carefully, step-by-step. Give it another try – send me a note if you continue to have difficulties. Thanks.

Hello Dr. Thron,
I am still having difficulty. I have followed the instructions up to the point of attaching the URL to the title. I did highlight and copy the URL, but when trying to click on the link button on the title, the “small window” did not open in order to paste the URL
Thanks,
Toni
Ok I am totally lost I dont see a media file nor do I see a “new post” tab. Please help me
Ms. Freeman:
It does not appear that you have established an account at WordPress.com. You must first do so – please see the instructions in the “Doc Sharing” folder in your PUBH 6165/8165 course.
Once you have established an account at WordPress.com, please send me a note indicating that you have done so. Thank you.

OK, it looks as though you did establish an account at WordPress.com. I did see your name as Carla Freeman – is that correct? You should be getting a confirmation message from me that you are enrolled in the Environmental Public Health Today weblog as an author.
Take a look at the instructions, once again and give it a try. Be sure to specifically follow the instructions, carefully.
Let me know if you continue to encounter any problems.

Make sure that you are logged in to WordPress.com – if you are not, you will not see the opportunity to select “New Post.”
To log in, you may go to the Environmental Public Health Today weblog site at [ http://environmentalhealthtoday.wordpress.com/ ]; then in the left frame, left click on the link titled “Contributor log in.”
Give this a try. Let me know if you continue to have difficulties. Thanks.

Hello,
I am having a little problem I guess linking the site. I can not go back to the draft mode to highlight the title. In the blog posting, I have a box listed with edit, quick edit, delete and view as opinions. Please help.
Vanessa De Danzine
Vanessa, your posting is on the site, so it appears that you must have resolved your problem. You may want to review it and fix the typo in your introduction, though.
Dr. Morrell
Ok,
Thx
Dr. R Thron
I have signed up for a account and awaiting a invitation because my page does not offer a new post on my page. my email caroline.howell@waldenu.edu any help will be most appreciated.
Caroline
Caroline,
Your name has been added as an author to the website. You should now be able to post, using the instructions in your classroom.
Thanks,
Dr. Morrell
The same as others, I am waiting for the invitation to post as an author. I have registered with WordPress and keep checking for the opportunity to contribute. My e-mail address is Linda_Squillante@mtf.org. I’d appreciate any assistance you can offer and await your e-mail entering me as an author. I will be posting a standard word document to the website.
Please use your Walden email address. You do not need an invitation to register at wordpress.com. Once you have registered in WordPress with your Walden email address, we can add you as a user to the site. Let us know when you are registered.
Thanks,
Dr. Morrell
Thanks!
I am established with an account, but I do not see where to post my powerpoint presentation. Please help!
I clicked on contributor log and it took me back to the WordPress sign in page. After I signed in, again I was at the WordPress dashboard with no link to environmental health. I am confused.
I do not see “media” and I do not see “new post”, Please help!
I have sent you an invitation at your Walden email address to sign up in Word Press. Please follow those instructions.
Thanks,
Dr. Morrell
I am also waiting for the invitation and having the same problem as Judy (above). Thanks.

Sir,
I can not yet logged as my password is not working. I had a print out of my user name and passwords but I am not typing wrong passwords.
I have not received any reply from WordPress relating this problem, so I created another account with my personal e-mail: doctselim@yahoo.com, user name: skhan72.
Would you please authorize this new account and set me as an author to submit my presentation or you have some other option for me.
Please advice.

You have been added as an author to the Environmental Public Health Today weblog. If you should have any further difficulty please contact either Dr. Morrell or Dr. Thron. Thanks. Hope that this new account works for you.
I am a studen at walden university doing MPH in the environmental Health class. I am supposed to post my power point presentation on the wordpress.com but I am unable even to log in. My instructor name is Dr. Jalal Ghaemghami. Please help.
I am having difficulty in signing/logging onto the environmental heath contributor log where I have to log on it is telling me that I have a wrong username and pass word . Is it possible to reset it so that I can log onto it using the walden e-mail and also new user name, Thanks Milka.
Milka,
Your name has been added as an author to the website. You should now be able to post, using the instructions in your classroom.
Thanks,
Dr. Morrell
I am having difficulties see above reply, Thanks. Even though my name has been added it says that I am using wrong user name and pass word so please reset it for me so that I can log on again, thanks.
Dr.Thron, I am having the same problem as everyone else. I follow all the instructions,my PowerPoint presentation is on my dashboard, but it is not showing up on where the other students information are. I have been trying for the past three days. Please advise. Thanks
Dr Thron, I am having the same problem, I logged in and on getting to the dash board, there is no media link. I have spent all day on this posting andI am not getting anyway. Please I need help.
Dr. Thron: I am trying to post my ppt file. I have registed and am able to log in as a contributor. However, when I click “new post”, I do not get the row of options icons to select media as you described in the instructions for posting.
Does anyone have any advice?
Dr. Thron,
Though initially challenged with the process, I am enjoying this weblog experience for PUBH 6165. The PPT presentations I am able to view are wonderful, but I am unable to open many Walden submissions. Could this be because I have an older version of PPT on my home computer? If these presentations were saved in a 2007 version, could this be the reason that I cannot view them?
Thank you

Dr. Thron,
Hi! I am still experiencing difficulties posting my power point. I signed up with wordpress and I can go into contributor log-in and see dashboard but I can not see where it says new post.
I am not sure if you have added me on or yet. Please let me know. Thanks.
Cynthia
Dr. Thron,
I was able to post my power point this time. Thank you!
Dear Dr. Thron,
When I sign up in the “contributor log in” I am taken out of the environmental health page and in to the general wordpress page. Therefore my document is sitting in the general wordpress page. Please help me gain access to submit my article to the correct page.
Dr. Thron,
I am still not able to post. I am not able to find “New Post” or “Media”. I have gone to the site several times and still can’t find them. I am able to go as far as contributor log in which brings me to dashboard which shows “your stuff”, “today”, and “PUBH6165/8165”. When I click on “PUBH” I arrive at the site that I am on now.
Please help.
Thank you,
Yanick
Yanick.devastey@waldenu.edu
Dr. Thron,
I have recieved the instructions and have signed up for wordpress.com. I cannot, however, find the “New Post” or “Media” link. If I am not mistaking you or Dr. Morrell need to make me an “author”.
You you please help me log in so I may post my power point?
Thank you for your help with this matter
Sincerely,

Hi Dr. Thron,

Dr. Thron:
Goodday, please I am writing because I was unable to upload my powerpoint to the website. I followed your instruction up to ” Contributor log in”, however while in “Dashboard”, there was no option for me to offer a “New Post”. Please help.
Mbaember
I cannot link my powerpoint under media to the environmental health blog, however I can do it to my own blog. Anyone can help?
Thank you,
Elena
Please help! I read the instructions several times, I created an account, got authorization as an author, logged into wordpress and linked into Environmental Health. Each time I go to contributor log it takes me back to the wordpress dashboard. At this step there is no “New Post” or “Media” area for me to post. I got a response to read the instructions, they are NOT helpful, please give me some direction. Thanks
Now I am second guessing myself, am I auhtorized as an author? I thought I was once I got the e-mail message. Please check this out and let me know I am at my wits end here!!!
I am wondering if my post is in the wrong place because at times I cannot see it.
Hello Dr. Thron,
I am having a similiar problem to one of my classmates. I have posted my presentation, but it is on the general wordpress.com and not the environmental health today. I’m not sure what step I am missing. PLEASE HELP. I have been trying to post this for the last couple of days. My login is tljackson (e-mail: tiffany.jackson2@waldenu.edu).
Dr. Thron,
I thought it all worked out for me (posting my powerpoint) I guess not. Well, I am showing it posted on the website but Dr. Goodwin can not see it and when I go into my dashboard and click on the title of my powepoint it sends me to “wordpress.com weblog” and I am the only post on the weblog. I dont know what I am doing wrong but I have tried to post the power point under the right “pubh 6165/8165-06 Sp09 category” and link it. Everything seems to work fine but I can jut not get it to post on the right place at least. Please advise. Thank you!
It looks like I am posted in WordPress, but I do not see it in Environmental Health Today. Can you please check this out for me?

Hello,
This is my first attempt to post a message here. I have signed up for WordPress, and am testing to see if I can at least comment.
It appears that many people have problems with the technical aspects of posting an assignment. Perhaps the site is not so intuitive???
Well, here goes.
Regards,
Dr. Ruth
Dr. Ruth,
Thanks for your question. The questions before yours all stem from last term, and we have updated the Word Press and posting instructions since then. We hope there will be fewer problems this term.
As of today, we have not gotten all summer term students put into the site as authors as of yet, because so few students have registered in Word Press. I have just put you in, so you will now be able to post. However, be aware that we have not yet provided the new application assignment posting instructions to your classrooms. Those will be sent to instructors very soon.
Thanks,
Dr. Morrell
I cant remember my password and it will not allow me to reset. I have been trying to get this done since July 31, 2009. Can someone please help me?
