Add an Image to your Page

Today's assignment is to add a photo of yourself to your page. Go to Design, Layout, Add a Gadget. Add the gadget "Image" Insert an image of yourself from your computer. I want the image to be in the left margin. You may add more than one photo, but I want that has you in it. 

I then would like you to revisit the Link List Gadget and add two more links.

Next visit at least two more of your classmates blogspot sites and become followers of their page.

Finally check your page and make sure you have included all of the work required this wee.

* Note on the Favicoms. They appear to work on just about every browser except for Safari. This may be because the Favicom was created by Windows which is a competitor of Apple Inc.

Using Blogspot

Today's Assignment is to create a post on blogspot.

1st check my Jan 8th post and make sure that the link to your page is listed.

create a post containing two items and at least two photos.

I would like you tell us what your favorite month of the year is and why and
comment on a celebrity give an opinion good or bad.

Once you have posted go to other students blogspot pages and make comments. Please no negatives.


An Example:

My favorite month of the year is July. It also could be August but since my birthday falls in July I will stick with that month. I like July because the weather is warming up and I have time to do outdoor activities. I like going to the beach and to the mountains. At the beach I like to body surf and then lay around on the sand and read a good book. In the mountains I like to backpack and explore areas on the Sierra's that I have not been to before.

Create a Favicon for Blogspot Page

Today we will be taking a pic of yourself, either use an existing or use photobooth to take a photo.
Most photos are in a rectangular shape so we will need to use GIMP to make it a square pic.
GIMP select image size and break the chain so it will not scale. Create an image that is 16 x 16 or 32 x 32. Save the image with your name. ico.  Go back to your blogspot page and go to "design" then "layout" select Favicon edit and install your photo. This should change the  favicon image.

Make a Contact

Today I would like students to visit other students Blogspot page and join their page. For the assignment today I would like you to join a minimum of 10 other students pages. Here are links to the students who sent me their page in an email yesterday, as part of the class assignment.

Note* For this to work prior to going to a classmates page you must first add the "Follower" Gadget to your own page. (This gadget adds the ability to follow your page, without this Gadget you will not know who is following your page.)

Please no negative comments, should you choose to leave a comment on a fellow students page.

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.

Have an enjoyable holiday see you in the new year!

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
