Learning More about Blogger

Wow, I managed to fit in some time today (Saturday) to preview the Getting Started guide with Blogger. What I discovered is that I already knew the basics and needed to by past that guide. There is a section that is called Blogger Help which was more where I was. I don't think that I am advanced at blogs, but do know a bit. I went through the more dynamic templates to see about changing mine for a more wider display, but after going through the entire choices of templates, I decided I preferred then one I had in the beginning, even though it is not as wide as I would like. I even played around with the HTML code to see if I could change the width, but I never managed to get it right. I was able to sort my layout and add a few other gadgets that was available. I want to try and put my Twitter feed on it, but the one available was not working. The one thing that my blog does not have is multiple pages. I am wondering what other page I would possibly need. Maybe I will view other blogs, to get some ideas. Now my next task will be to locate positive benefits from blogging. Until next post, see ya!

Blogger, my first tool

I committed to learning a new tool each month, so my first most important tool I have decided to improve on is my blog. I experimented with blogging while teaching years ago in my classroom. But, much has changed and I want to become more proficient with Blogger since I will be using it to post my 10 tools for my challenge this year. I am using a template, which I thought would be best to learn. Now, I am wanting to make some design changes such as increasing the width however, the template limits you. That is so frustrating! I will not let that get the best of me. I located a Blogger Getting Started Guide and plan to go through that step by step. I hope you will like some of my changes. If anyone can suggest a way to override this template to increase the width, please leave a comment. Thanks. I hope to post some good articles on blogging in the classroom for my next post.
