Tutorial: How to link to your classmates' blogs

First Log onto Blogger.com

You should be taken to the Dashboard; if not, click "customize"

in the top right-hand corner of your blog.



Google updated their blog generator recently so there should be a link that says "Layout" instead of Template as shown in the picture.

Either way, it should take you to the Template/Layout page where you click
on the "Page Elements" tab.

Click the "Add Page Elements" link.

Choose "Link List" to make a list of your classmates' blogs.
(Remember you can add other page elements to pretty up and customize your blog;
dont be afraid to try it out).

Now add the Title of the Link List.
Then leave the second field blank and sort it as you choose (or not).

Add the specific website address or your classmate like in the example.

Have the Site Name be the classmate's name.
Click "add link" for each link you enter; if you look below, it will start listing your links.

Oh and let's not forget Dr. Chandler's blog at http://0380fall05.blogspot.com/

When you're completely done with the list, click on "Save changes."

You can add other links that would help you navigate around the websites you need besides your classmates' blogs.

Here are some examples: Gmail, Google Groups (our group), etc.
Hope this was helpful.
