BeFunky Tutorial

Mathew and Ryan did a lesson on BeFunky. Here's the tutorial.

1. If you don't have any pics, go to Google Images at http://images.google.com/

2. Save it on your computer and remember the pic file name.

3. Go to BeFunky at http://befunky.com/

4. On the top right corner, click on 'Get Started Free'.

5. Under the 'Sign In' button, highlight 'Upload Photo' and click on 'Upload From PC'.

6. Find the file name from the pic and click 'Open' and wait for the pic to upload.

7. On the left side of the screen, click on the effect you want on your picture. When you click the effect and you see the picture, if it says 'PLUS', you have to be a member of BeFunky.

8. When you're done and you're happy with it, beside the 'Upload' button, highlight 'Save' and click 'To Desktop' . And then click 'Save' again. Find the library you want to save your picture on your computer.

You're done. Hooray!

Also a special request from Ms. Hawkins, Those who don't know how to upload vids from Youtube and who don't know how to upload pics, here we go.

2. Find the vid and under that click "Embed".

3. Copy and paste the code.

4. Log into your Blogger account and make a new post.

5. Click "Edit Html" and paste the code. Make sure that the code isn't over "640" by "385" That's too big. If you want to change the size, look for four numbers. I'll show you. Look for:

1a: object width="640" height="385"

1b: allowfullscreen="true"width="640" height="385"

6. Click "PUBLISH POST". Then click "View Blog".

7. Then look for the post. Now you're done!

How to upload pics:

2. Log into your Blogger account, then click on "New Post".

3. Under the title, look for the tool bar.

4. If you can see tiny buttons, look for the 13th button from the left (not including the font button).

5. Click on that, then look for your pic. Then click "Open". Then click "Upload Image". It'll take a while for it to upload.

6. Click "PUBLISH POST" and then "View Blog".

Here's what happens when two of my favourite shows come together. Enjoy! Ms. Hawkins

Blog Club Meets Wednesday This Week/Meeting Agenda

Thanks to Cool Nic for all his hard work as the Clairlea Bloggers Blog Master. His blog is way cool. If you haven't visited lately, do check it out. I don't know where he finds all the cool artistic effects.

I'm stuck in lunchtime meetings on Thursday and Friday, so we'll have to meet tomorrow.

Hopefully we'll get the projector up and running so that we may cover the following topics:

- Uploading videos from YouTube.

- Uploading pictures from your computer.

- Installing Feedjit for free.

The rest of the time will be yours to spend blogging. The weather sounds wet tomorrow, so we may not be able to eat together outdoors.

See you then!

Ms. Hawkins

Blog Club: Launched!

Well to add to the last post i did, we couldn't do the Youtube thing so here are some pics of the bloggers blogging.                                                                               This was before we went inside for P.A.L.S. or blogging club.

All blogging seriously over here. Really seriously. I think they're going to be angry sooner or later.

 

 KH and M.W. I think they're posting a photo and KH needs help.

Till next Thursday, blogmaster out.

Today's Topic: Uploading To Youtube

Today's topic is uploading to Blogger to Youtube. Although we cant do it yet cause Colin from Mr. Steers' is still getting it ready! Why cant Mr. Knierim be here?! Looks like we're doing that topic next week. I think.Oh and by the way, this is the blogmaster Nicolas. GTG till next Thursday.

Hey Ho - Let's Go!

Naturally we needed to have a Blogging Blog. Here it is. This will be the place to come to check out blogs of Clairlea bloggers. In the future, it will mean that the bloggers of our school will have an online meeting point to access each other's blogs readily - regardless of your class and teacher. As long as I'm at Clairlea, I promise to stick by the bloggers and we can keep the Blogging Club going next year.

I'm going to have one of our bloggers make this look more awesome.

All the best,

Ms. Hawkins

Here's an awesome band to kick things off, even if only one member is still alive.
