Monday's assignment

Hello, students!

You have three tasks for today: add two gadgets to your blog, follow at least five of your classmates blogs (and mine), and comment on this post when you are done designing your blog.

1. Adding Gadgets.
Gadgets are extra features you can add to your blog. They can include things like keeping track of how many people visit your blog,  adding a welcome message, or creating a fish tank on your page (look above this post).

To add a gadget, click the 'Design' tab after logging in. On the page template, you will see several boxes that say "Add a Gadget." Click, browse through the options, and add two gadgets. You add a gadget by clicking on the blue and white + button on the right.

2. Following Blogs
We care what our peers have to say. Tomorrow and Wednesday we will work on creating and commenting on posts. For now, we want to connect our blogs. We do this by 'following' each other's blogs.

To follow a blog, go to your dashboard (the page you see when you log onto your account. There is a link to it on the top right of your screen.). Scroll down to the "Reading List" and click "Add." Now type in the address of the blog you wish to follow. Mine is sagadatest.blogspot.com. Select follow publicly.

For today, follow at least five of your classmates blogs.

3. Tapos!
When you have completed those two tasks, finish designing your blog. Make sure you are happy with both the blog title and the way your blog looks. Then, add a comment to this post saying that you are done. You must include: Your name, your blog's address, and the two gadgets you added and why. For the 'Comment As' field, select GoogleAccount.

Wasn't that fun?
