Tech Tip: Pinterest Sidebar

Okay guys. If you have a pinterest you should do this! I did not know that you could actually put pinterest boards all over your blog! So cool. You can see to the left of my page I now have a dedicated html box for my Pinterest board just for this class. Not whenever I update my Pins they will update here too! How cool. I use pinterest to keep track of cool things I see online. For me it is very much an organizational tool. I think everyone should give it a try.

Tech Tip Pinterest Board and Widget Embedding

For this tech tip I created a new Pinterest board. I have used Pinterest before and I really enjoy the process. It is very clean and makes organizing new Ideas very easy. Here is a link to my Pinterest board I am using for this course.

Tech Tip Google Site Video

For this tech tip I decided to learn how to embed a youtube video onto my blog homepage. It is a little different and did not show up just like the instructions but I like the end product. I embedded Adele’s new Hello song form YouTube onto my homepage. I like this feature because you can see this video and others by her.

Google Timer Tech Tip

For this Tech Tip I investigated Google Timer. It is a timer on your google page that helps with time management and other activities. I think having a timer will be useful for me when I am feeling like taking a break from working on the computer. Having a timer would allow me to schedule my time and be more in control over it. I think a timer is an excellent idea. I could set the timer for a five minute Facebook break or I could set a ten minute relax on the couch break. Oh I like this already!

Tech Tip: Blogger Template

Howdy All:

Today I decided to do the Tech Tip on Blogger Templates. I have already messed around with the blogger templates before, but today I finally decided on a design for my blog. I chose a golden yellow wheat background. It reminds me a lot of my home town in Kansas where we had many thousands of miles of beautiful rolling golden wheat, among other things. I hope you find this background to be as comforting as I do! I’m excited to see everyone else’s blogging templates as this class really begins.

Tech Tip: Weather Widget

Hello Everyone!

I just learned how to add a weather widget to my new blog! Now y’all will know how crazy hot it is here in Norman any time you would like. In case you were wondering I hate the heat! I would much rather live in on an iceberg than on a beach. Weather plays a large decision into many factors of my life including where I want to live and study. My perfect weather is partially sunny skies and maybe some morning rain; it sounds depressing to some, but I enjoy the rainy days...

What is your favorite weather?
