Blogger- Blogs I'm Following Link
Ana Lucia's "The Double Life"
Estimados Estudiantes,
Today I teach you how to connect your blogs with your classmates' blogs. I call this step "Blogs I'm Following." Below, I've copied and pasted instructional information off the internet; then, I tried it myself with Hissie's "Stop Your Sobbing" Blog.
* You can create pages for consistent content like “About” or “Contact.” Pages can appear on your blog as tabs at the top or links on the side.
Note: You cannot use specific posts as pages.
Step 1: Show your pages
- Sign in to Blogger Links to an external site..
- In the top left, click the Down arrow .
- Select the blog to update.
- In the left menu, click Layout.
- In the section you want your pages to show, click Add a Gadget.
- In the window, next to "Pages", click Add .
- Set your settings and click Save.
- At the top right, click Save arrangement.
To change where your pages will appear, drag the gadget to its new location.
Here is what I did:
Step One: Click on - to go to your - All Posts - Dashboard:
Step Two: Click on
Step Three: Scroll Down to find the Main Menu
* in the right hand column you should find sidebar-right-1
* Click on
Step Four - Scroll down to find "Pages." It looks like this:
* Click on
This is where I ended up - The Configure Page List:
Step Five:
* Enter the title of your page - I put "Blogs I'm Following"
* Uncheck "Home"
* Click on "Add External Link"
You should end up here:
Step Six:
* Under Page Title, enter the name of your classmate's blog
* Under Web Address, enter the blogspot.com URL address
* I practiced with another "guest student" - Her name is Ana Lucia - This is what it will look like:
* Don't forget to click on
You'll end up with something that looks like this:
* Don't forget to click on
* Don't forget to click on
Step Seven - To go back and edit:
* Click on Edit
Step Eight - To check My Work - When I go back to "View the Blog," I should find "The Double Life" under "Blogs I'm Following":
This is going to be great. You will see.
Paz,
