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!
