Advanced Students Fourth Assignment

It looks like we are all getting going on our blogs and it's time to do a few more advanced set-up steps.

  1. Labels: Go back to your first three posts and add labels. Labels help your blog readers search for what they want to read so you want to have a few general categories that help organize your blog. You can have as many labels as you want but I would use general labels like: photos, portraits, scenics, sports and stuff like that.
  2. Gadgets: Gadgets are widgets. Little programs that run on your blog to add features. These can be in your sidebar or at the top or bottom of your blog. You should have already added a Text Gadget to put a copyright notice on your blog. Today I would like you to make sure you have a Labels gadget so your readers can easily search for what they want to read on your blog and I would like to to add a Slideshow Gadget to your sidebar. The slideshow gadget in Blogger allows you to show about 5 of you favorite photos so give it a title like my favorite photos or my portfolio and put in five photos to share.
  3. Comments: Approve your comments from your readers. You can comment back it you like and your comments will show up under your readers comments.
Now for today's post. I would like for you to post two self portraits your have taken. Be sure to write smething about your self portraits, what the photo says about you or why your like it. Ehat inspired to to take it or some of hte special things you might have done in photoshop to make the photo more interesting.

Over the weekend I would like you to take a photo of something to post on your blog. It can be a photo of anything school appropriate. Obviously you want it to be something you want to share with others that you think they will be interested in looking at. Have fun!
