Posting images and links to your blog is simple to do with html.
To post an image, you use the following html, replacing the [] with <>:
[img src="URL OF THE IMAGE"]
Or if you want to link students to another site, use this html, replacing the [] with <>:
[a href="URL OF THE LINK"]LINK TEXT[/a]
A picture of a volcano.

Mike mentioned there is some confusion about logging in to this blog. If you are looking at the tech support blog right now, you should see a list of names over on the right hand side of this page. Your full name will appear there (if it doesn't, email me to be added!). Click on your name to go to your "student" blog page and log in at the top of your blog page using your full name as listed on my blog page and the password learn2blog.
If your name is misspelled on my list, I apologize, and will correct it immediately! If you cannot log in following the above directions, contact me, and I will fix the log in issues.
When posting comments, you will be asked for the class blog password. This password is also learn2blog, and putting in this password will ensure that your comments are posted immediately.
Again, I'm sorry for any confusion, especially if the mistake was in clarify of directions. Best of luck!

Basic HTML Codes: Links

The best part of having a blog is that you are part of a larger online community. Sometimes, you want to share information you find in that community with your students. The best way to do that is by linking to the information!
Linking is much more simple than it looks. You don't need to know what the code needs, just memorize the code OR reference it here whenever you need it.
This is the code for a link:
[a href="http://PUTyourURLhere"]PUT YOUR LINK TEXT HERE[/a]
Replace PUTyourURLhere with the web address of the page you want the link to point to -- make sure you leave the quotation marks around it and include the http:// part, or it won't work! Replace PUT YOUR LINK TEXT HERE with whatever words you want to be linked.
A link will look like this:
ClassBlogmeister
Sometimes you want your link to make a new page pop up, so you don't navigate (go away from) the page you are currently on. To make a link that pops up a new window, use this code:
[a href="http://PUTyourURLhere" target="_blank">]PUT YOUR LINK TEXT HERE[/a]
The link will look like this:
Classblogmeister

Basic HTML Codes: Numbered Lists
Article posted June 15, 2007 at 03:29 PM GMT0 •

What if you want a numbered list? This is called an "ordered list" and is denoted by this code [ol] at the beginning of the list. Putting [ol] at the beginning of your list will automatically turn those little bullet points into sequential numbers. You MUST CLOSE THE [OL] TAG -- [/ol]!!!
Your code will look like this:
[OL]
[LI]List item 1
[LI]List item 2
[LI]List item 3
[LI]List item 4
[/OL]
Your list will look like this:
- List item 1
- List item 2
- List item 3
- List item 4
