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 

todays task week 2

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE its week 2
todays task
is about networking
one very good way to widen and increase your audience is to network through other bloggers and sources.

today you will do a post where you write a short review for 5 other blogposts from other bloggers.

• minumum of 50words per post,
• one image from their site
• url link to their site 
• not more than 1 review can be someone from our class

once you have done this you must go to each of these blogs and write a positive comment on one of their posts make a genuine comment about something on their blog that has interested you.

and link the url to your blog home at the end of your comment 

have fun searching , this is as much a research task as it is a networking one
