Widgets and Tags

Your sidebar entries are the default ones from Edublogs. Widgets (in the appearance settings) let you change and personalize the side bar. Use the widgets to have a sidebar with at least all the things that are already there and two new features.

Add some tags to all your posts, and show the tag cloud on your sidebar.

Blog Tagline and Top bar Menu

To complete your Blog header, update the blog tagline with a text of your choice, but leave the title as is. Also, you will remove the “sample page” and “blog listing” links and add a new menu with a link to all other class blogs and the HSCG one on top.

Look at the HSCG blog to see this menu in action that will give you a quick link to all others blog. You can also complete this menu with links to pages of your choice.

Make a comment

Commenting is a very important aspect of blogging, it shows the writer that people are actually reading his/her posts and it also is the way for readers to share their point of view. Each of you must comment on the introductory Prezi of everyone else in the class and on the general look of their blog so far.

i.e. 7 comments each

You should make use of the guidelines I have made in the ‘Making Quality Comments‘ page.
