Tips & Resources

1. Please remember to do the exercises and clearly label blog entries that are related to the exercises (WEEK 3, #5 Exploring Flickr, for example.)
2. If you haven't already, add a photo to a blog entry. When you are in the COMPOSE mode of a POST, there are icons/symbols for Bold (B), T (Text color), etc. There is also one for inserting/uploading a picture or photo. Check it out. Photos can also be added to your template by using the Page Elements in the Layout section. Several of you have already figured out how to add photos, particularly for your profile photo. Keep the creativity and fun coming. This is a fun fun fun week!
3. This is a good time to add "Word verification for comments." Here's how:

                  -- Go to your blog. Sign in.

                  -- Click on "CUSTOMIZE." Go to "SETTINGS." Go to "COMMENTS"

                  -- One of the choices under "COMMENTS" (near bottom of page) is

                     SHOW or HIDE "WORD VERIFICATION." Select "yes,

                     show word verification for comments.

   That way, when your 2.0 partners are trying to leave comments for you, they can AND you can avoid being "spammed" by comment-bots (automated commenters). If you like, you can also choose to moderate your comments so that only the ones you approve make it to the web.
