todays task mon 13th feb

happy monday everyone.

todays task is to prepare and publish two (2) posts.
1. should be a "how to" post under your tab for how to.
              -make sure there are clear instructions around 200-250 words is good
              - you will need to include list of equiptment needed, if its crafty stuff or a recipe this is pretty                 obvious but if its something like longboard sliding or drift triking then you should list the minimum required level of equipment, level of skill required and SAFETY GEAR!!!!
             - you will also need to include step by step photos of you / one of your friends actually demonstrating your "how to" (yes they must be your own photos)

2. your second post should be one of your weekly posts , can be journal style , what you have been up to this week (be discerning) or something that has caught your interest or even a topic you want to discuss
              -use photos to make it more appealing
              -if you are putting links in remember to credit them
              - minimum 250 words
              - remember that even though this is just your thoughts or what you have been up to , every post you do is designed to generate more interest in your blog so use all the tools available to you to keep it interesting : design, imagery, good writing , and an interesting viewpoint or perspective.

Todays Task 6 Feb 2012

todays task is to get your blog layout set up and sorted:

the layout is an important framework for your blog because it will determine how and where your posts go and how your information on your blog is seen by the veiwer, to cluttered and there is too much to see- creates an information over load, too little and the veiwer quickly gets bored and loses interest.

Get started:

>go to www.blogger.com and log in 

>click on your blog title (it is the link to your dashboard)

once in your dashboard you have a menu bar on the left which allows you to edit section of your page

>click on "template" in the left sidebar and scroll through till you find one that suits you 

>click on "layouts"in the left sidebar and then click "template designer" in the top right 

>work your way through the left sidebar menu and get yourself set up 

remember that if you change your widths you will need to remember them for when we create the header and menu buttons in photoshop

>then go back to blogger 

>click on "pages" in the left sidebar and creates some pages for your tabs (check out mine for ideas,or go have a look at some of your favourites and see what they have done)

>set up your pages and put some minimal content in there.

have fun
