Tips & Resources

1. Did you know that you have some word processing capabilities when composing a blog post? Notice the tool bar with icons for bold, linking, adding images, font size and color, etc. Ask your colleagues or contact your 2.0 Team if you have questions. Remember this is about self-discovery and self-learning, so first give it your best problem solving effort.
2. If you encounter log-in problems with Blogger, it may be Blogger and not you. The application has been known to be problematic. Try again or let your 2.0 Team know.
3. As a reminder, Blogger is not the only blogging software but it is free. Wordpress
4. You will learn about RSS readers, in particular, Bloglines. By the way, Google Reader is another option and preferred by some people.
5. Remember to send positive comments your fellow community members---AISD's Community Members

During Summer 2008, a question came up about how to get your items in Google Reader to show up on your blog. I thought the information might be helpful to many of you.
