Chao Cac Ban!

Let's get serious with our blogs now that you had your practice last week with your blogs.  Here are some important things to remember:

• This is not a personal site
• Your blog is about one theme ONLY
• Each week we will write a new post, all year, about a new topic connected to your theme.  For example:
• Blog Name: Tin's Kitchen
• Theme: Cooking and recipes
• Topics for posts: deserts, Vietnamese food, sauces, fish, entrees, etc.

Let's start today's assignment.  Here are your goals:

• Writing 200+ words
• Inserting images into posts
• Formatting font appearance
• Formatting image appearance 

Here are the steps for today's assignment:

1. Go to blogger.com
2. Create a new post
3. Name the title of your post something related to your topic (e.g. if your blog is about video games, you could write "Final Fantasy 9 Review")
4. Go to images.google.com and find a picture related to your post's topic
5. Insert the picture, but be sure to click "View Full Size Image"
6. Copy that image's URL (address)
7. In your Post Editor, click the insert image icon and choose the option "From a URL"; now paste the image's URL from the website.  If you do this, your image will upload very quickly to your blog
8. Now click "Add Selected"
9. Once your image is in your blog, click the image and choose the hyperlink "Large" and "Center"
10. Now write a text caption underneath the photo and use bold and italic font.  Make the text another color that is easy to read with your blog's theme
