Adding HTML/JAVA Coding to Blogspot

Today we will look at adding some HTML/JAVA code to our blogspot site.  My hope is that you attempt to add a code to your page over the break. We will start the new year looking at HTML code.

You can get random code by going on to different sites from a search of "Widgets", "Gadgets", Apps.  Not all will work, you might have to experiment with different sites and widgets.  Here are some links that I have found that work. Remember once you have copied the code, you will add it to your site while in the desing/layout mode select new gadget and then select the HTML/Java Code gadget.

Student made Blogspot Sites.

The assignment for the last couple of days is for the student to create a blogspot.com site of their own. Once you have created a site I would like you to comment and leave your blogspot link  on this thread so other classmates can follow you.  It is also my hope that you will explore this site over the holiday break.  Mr. Connor

You Find The Darndest Things On.....

I opened up my photo booth software on my computer to find the following images?

Blogspot Time

Here we go. So I decided that before this Holiday season break each student will create a blogspot site for themselves, giving them time over the break, if they wish, to explore the site and the widgets. Here is the Hillside-high.blogspot.com page as an example.

Template Page

Today we will create a template for your page.

Famous Person Assigment

Look who dropped by the classroom today. With our continued work on the software app Gimp the student are to replace their face with someone they consider a superstar or famous person. The assignment involves the use of scale, rotation, perspective, and the use of varying paint tools.

Add Color to B&W photo.

To make this photo illusion work you first need a color image.  Convert the image to B&W , save it and reopen it.  Now reopen the original color image. Using the lasso tool select a portion of the image, copy it and paste to the B& W image. Save.

Free Friday

Students make their own modifications to a photo.  Before and after photos.

Today the student will combine  two images. One image of themselves into an image of a billboard.

Here is the original photo of the billboard.

Now the billboard with student photos included.
