todays task week 8

happy monday everyone , this is the last task of the term before assessment and review so its a doozey

here goes
this weeks task is a combination "free stuff" winner announcement and VLOG post
so you will need to make a vlog or video blog, and tell us what you have been up to this week and include the all important annoncement of your prize winner for your give away,
you will need access to a video camera (your phone is fine if you have the capability ) or you will need to book a go pro camera out from the library.
you will need to sign up for a vimeo account or a youtube , to get the embed files to post it to your blog , same process as with photobucket.
make a special point to make the back ground of your video some thing interesting to look at that fits with the theme of your blog and be mindful of the lighting in the room where you film
have fun with it and keep it respectful

ooh and dont forget your weekly "how to" post

assessment next week!!!

todays task week 7 "free stuff"

happy monday everyone
as i warned you last week this weeks method for expanding and increasing your blog interest is "free stuff" so i hope you have decided on what you are going to give away and how you are going to organise it? competition ? best photo, best comment, best drawing of a friends 4wd to win a longboard deck? submit a photo of your best drawing.?
what ever you do and however you run it make sure it is something you can manage and make sure you have people post their entries to your wall, or blog post, cos the main reason you are doin this is to increase traffic to your site.
happy blogging and good luck

todays task week 6

happy monday again everyone ,
its  gettin a bit on the winter side and its particularly chilly this morn so lets do something heartwarming cos caring is sharing so today make one of your blog posts a post where you share a friends blog write up a little review make sure you point out what are some of your favourite sections and personal favourite posts of that person can be a classmate but doesn't have to. the idea is networking and linking so make sure there are multiple links in there and have some fun with it.
go here and check out a nice example from toni at lost cabin.

buttons and links week 3

by now you should have created a photobucket account
and a 150x150 pixel button to use as a link to your site

 upload your image to photobucket.
then on your side pane of your block upload the image as well and then under it paste this code:

<textarea><a href="YOUR BLOG URL"><img src="YOUR IMG URL FROM PHOTOBUCKET"></a></textarea>

Then other people can paste the text onto their page and have an image that they can click on to take them to the blog.
happy linking.

todays task week 3

happy monday everyone

todays task
one way to make sure you are seen and expand your audience on your blog is to have an easily seen and readily available button to put on other peoples blogs, websites, facebooks and twittergrams n stuff
so today your first task is to:

• design a 150X150 pixel button with an image and your name in photoshop
• sign up for a photobucket account cos next week we will be looking at embedding. find it here http://photobucket.com/

then....

you are going to do a product review, on a product that you have bought and personally used, can be anything from shampoo to longboard wheels. but you must have personally used it!

what you will do is write a review and have associated photos that endorse or promote the product in a positive way. then we will look at ways of endorsing that product with links to where to purchase and the official website for the product, what will this do for you ?

if it is done well, not only will you get recurring traffic from the official sites and possibly pop up in google searches, but if the company who makes the product  sees benefit in what you have done they may send you other products to test and review... did i say FREEE STUFF? well, perhaps... lets see how good you go
