Mod 5.1 Writing Task: Consolidating Your Presence
I was planning to just make a few changes to my blog, but ending up totally revamping it! It took me an entire day, but I learnt so much in the process! Here’s what I did:
Changed Template
I was originally using one of the templates on the Blogger.com site but wasn’t entirely happy with it. I downloaded one I liked from: http://www.bloggertemplatesblog.com/ , - I felt this design suited both the blog topic and “me”. The template comes under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 Malaysia License, which apparently means I am free to use it on my blog, as long as I retain the footer. This template also included a Search Button, which was a feature I didn’t have previously.
RSS, Delicious & Twitter
I have included an RSS link, both at the bottom of each post, and in the header. This will enable readers to receive any blog updates. I also added a link to both my Delicious and Twitter accounts.I still don’t really “get” Twitter, but maybe it will grow on me. I can see that including Delicious and Twitter adds to my “web presence”.
Slideshow
I uploaded some photos of my Farmville farm into Photobucket, and then pasted the RSS link from Photobucket into the slideshow link in Blogger.
Labels
I went through all of my posts and added labels
Blog List
I added a list of other FarmVille blogs.
Poll
Just when I thought there was nothing else I could add, I was going through the list of Blogger gadgets and came across a Poll gadget...I decided to put one in, just for fun!
