Blog Gadgets
Hey everybody!
We are talking about gadgets in this unit, and did you know that there are gadgets for blogs? There are many websites that offer cool things to be added to a blog, which are called widgets (or gadgets too). Here I'll give you three examples, explain briefly about them and give more details in class.
Well, first of all, widgets can be added to your blog through a code, called html code. All you have to do is copy the html code from the website and, when writing your new entry here in your blog, paste the code. There is one detail, though, the code has to be pasted in the right place! When writing a new entry, on the tools bar,the last tool is the html (it's written "html"). When you click there, a new window will open with all your post in html code. Find the place where you want the widget to be, paste the code there and click the update button.
Here goes the three examples:
- Youtube video - watch this funny video about pronunciation and then see where I got the html code (red rectangle):
- Rockyou - that's a website where you can create photo albums (there are many options of albums) for free. This is one slide I created of pictures from a place I really want to visit. Can you guess what place it is? Watch the slide and then see where I got the html code (red rectangle):
- Gifup - another website to creat a photo show. This one has only picturs from Brasília. The same thing, take a look at the pictures and then see where I got the html code:
Well guys, these are some ways of making posts more attractive and sophisticated, so have fun!

Hello, Ronaldo!
In class you told us something about sending an e-mail to you until today, but I forgot what it was about. What is it?
Thanks.

Dear Ronaldo:
I am learning so much with you, my deepest thanks. Your students are great, I am leaving comments on their weblogs, I hope it's alright.
When does this course end?
I have been exploring 21Classes for two days and a night, it was not intentional. I just got caught up on setting my portal that I lost track of time! I am having a lot of fun and the best part is that I keep learning a new thing everyday. The icon link at my site is broken, I already sent an email to support, I hope they are as efficient as PBwiki!! Wish me luck!
Thanks for being there! Btw, could you add me to your contact list on Skype? I sent the request this morning. When are you leaving for the Convention?

Hey Maru!
I saw your comments in the students' blogs, thank you so much for paying this visit and leaving the comments. Also thanks a lot for the encouraging words!
This course will go until mid June, and let me know the url to your 21classes portal later, ok?
Of course I can add you to my skype contact list, but I haven't receive your request... make sure you sent out the right Ronaldo, my skype ID is ronaldo.lima.junior
Beijos,
Ronaldo

hey teacher!
give a look at my blog. I put a video from a show of the Band of Military School. I guess you'll like it, cause it is a very special one, from the celebration of father's day. it is special because Ten. Landgraf sings one song!!! believe me, he sings the one called Peao Apaixonado! ahuahaha
see it and then tell me if you liked.
