Adding Gadgets

Adding Gadgets
Click on “design” at the top right hand corner again. Click on “layout” on the left hand side. Click on “add gadget”. When you find one you want, click on the “+” sign. Be sure to save changes! As you customize your blogs, feel free to utilize all the tools available to you on blogger. The following are required:
1. List (REQUIRED): Please make an online list and call it “Finished Book List.” As you finish a book, add it here.
2. Blogroll: you can create a list of blogs you are reading on the sidebar. Everyone will be responsible for commenting on a handful of other blogs, so this is a great place to put the blogs you plan on keeping up with. Each time an author posts something new, it automatically moves that blog to the top of your list. You can add in the blogs once I add them to our home base blog, thestarryvoid.blogspot.com.
3. Labels: Label each post according to your focus (for example, “character change” or “theme”). You can also label posts according to topic (“friendship” or “sports”) or title (“Hunger Games”).
Additional Guidelines1. This blog is a part of a school project. Therefore, all content on your blog must be related to your reading and writing life in some way. Please do not use this blog as an online journal.
2. My expectation is that we are a community of readers and writers. I will be monitoring all blogs and trusting that your words that appear online will come from a place of respect for your fellow classmates as well with a tone that is appropriate for school.
3. For my own sanity, do not add any kind of sound gadgets to your blog. Also, please type in readable colors (no pink or yellow) and fonts (avoid ones that are cursive or all caps, especially).
Thanks! Let's get this blogging started!
