1. Go to http://images.google.com/


2a. Find pics from the site or pics that are uploaded to your computer.


2b. If getting images from Google Images, Right click the pic and click on "Save As". Name the pic and remember it.

3. Go to http://slide.com/

4. On the top of the page, put your cursor over "Create" and click "Create a Slideshow".

5. Look under "UPLOAD your own images" And click "Browse".

6. Find your pic in the computer or find the name. Then click the "Open" button.

7. If you want more pics in the slideshow, click "Browse" again. If you want to delete a pic, go to the bottom of the page, find the pic and then click "X" on the top right corner of the pic.

8. Look on the right of the screen on the page and find "Preset Designs". Click the one you choose.

9. Under that, find "Customize Your Design". Click on the one you choose. Then once your happy with what you've done, click "Save (get code)".

10. The next page will show the preview of the slideshow. If you like it, click "Save slideshow".

11. Look under the slideshow and find the code. Copy it. Then log into your Blogger account and make a new post. Click "Edit Html" and paste it. Click "PUBLISH POST". Click "View Blog" And find you slideshow post. Now you're done!

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.

How to upload vids from Youtube:

1. Go to http://youtube.com/

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:

1. Look for pics on http://images.google.com or if you have pics on your computer already, go to the next step.

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".

7. Look for the post and now you're done!

Hope all this helps make an awesome blog! bm out.

This is meant to be fun, so have fun. It may be a disaster, but let's hope at least part of it works out.

Please don't read anything until you've had your chance to write your section of the story.

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
