Today we learned how to insert different things on our blogs: images, videos, links.

Images: To insert an image: 1) Click on the image icon on the toolbar 2) A pop-up box will appear asking you if you would like to insert a photo from your computer or from the web. Choose from your computer. 3) Click on "browse" and select the image that you wish to upload to your blog. 4) Choose a layout - this tells the computer where the picture should be placed (left, center, right). 5) Choose an image size (small, medium, large). 6) Click on the Orange "Upload Image" button. 7) Wait a few minutes until Blogger.com uploads your photo. You will then receive a message saying that the upload has been completed. Click on the "Done"button.

Videos: To insert a video from YouTube. 1) Go to YouTube and find a video you wish to incorporate into your blog, 2) Copy the "Embed" code 3) Paste the code into the blog post (make sure that it is in the "Edit Html" tab) 4) Click on the "Publish Post" button

Links: We learned 2 easy ways. 1) Just type: http:// and then the site URL (address) and it will automatically link. For example: http://afterclass.tripod.com
2) Type a word or words. Highlight the word or words using your cursor. Then click on the "link" icon on the toolbar. A box will appear and you type in the web address. For example: After Class. If you click on the words After Class you will go the my website.

Pretty easy!
