A Summer Face-Lift for My Classroom Blog - Part 1

I was doing some web surfing and came to a spot where teachers were sharing their classroom blogs and sharing ways to improve them. Well, that made me what to update my much neglected classroom blog. I can't believe that I haven't posted anything since March. I guess that what happens when I put more time and energy into my students' blogs, my gets neglected.

Well, now that I'm on summer vacation and I'm reflecting on how best to keep my blog a resource that my students will want to keep coming back to. I had an online friend suggest adding the Wonderopolis widget to our classroom blog, so I did. I went here to get the HTML code from Wonderopolis and then went into the design mode for my blog. On the right side I clicked on add a widget and selected the HTML - Java script one from the options that opened. I named the widget, pasted the code in that I had copied and clicked on save. When I clicked on View Blog, I saw that it was too big to display properly in the right sidebar. So I went back into design and clicked on the Wonderopolis widget and changed the width and height in the code. I set the width for 200 and the height for 400 and saved the changes. When I viewed the blog this time it looked great in the sidebar.

I have a feeling that I will be making more updates to the look of my blog, but I feel a late afternoon nap coming on.
