IP 10 Blog Post #1 and Layout Requirements

Good morning IP 10!  At the end of this class I will be checking your blogs for the following changes that we began on Monday:

1. Background image and/or colour has been modified from the original template
2. Blog title font/size (and/or colour) has been modified from the original template

I will now also be checking for the following additions to your blogs today:

1. Make an introductory post introducing yourself.  Include one short paragraph of TEXT ONLY (photos and videos will come later), content entirely your choice.  You may tell your readers something about yourself, include a favourite quotation, etc.
2. Add at least 3 gadgets to your sidebar.

To add a gadget:

From your Blogger home page, click "Layout."  Find the button labeled "add a gadget" and scroll through the lists of potential options.  You'll find just about everything imaginable in this list - translators, cat jokes, fish feeding gadgets, random facts, etc.  Pick at least 3 school-appropriate gadgets that appeal to you and add them to your blog.  These will show up on your sidebar in the same place regardless of what your posts are doing beside them.  Consider them permanent fixtures on your blog (although of course you can always remove or change them later if you'd like).

If you have additional time after you've completed these tasks, you can continue to modify the design of your blog to better suit your tastes.  Have fun!
