WEEK 9 - PODCASTS, VIDEO & AUDIO
YOUTUBE
I must admit I’ve only ever gone to YouTube when someone has sent me a silly video of cats or animals doing crazy/cute things but searching further I realized there was a lot of information on it that wasn’t just JUNK. I downloaded three YouTube videos that I like: Blonde @ Library because if short but funny, Library Dominoes because it’s something you really shouldn’t do in the library and it would certainly be frowned upon and ‘Teenage Song’ because it’s almost like they filmed my own son! I think it sums up teenage boys and I laugh every time I see this clip. (Wasn’t sure how to reduce the size though in my blog even though I tried changing the sizes in my html tab – anyone know how?)

WHAT I'VE LEARNT TODAY
I've managed to add my TAG CLOUD finally, it has really been annoying me, but hopefully that is working now. I decided to ask the help menu and after reading some of the comments from others who have had difficulty one blogger suggested going to the gadgets area then adding a LINK and turning on CLOUD as an option. It worked!
I also noticed how awful my blogs looked when they were a little long and it was boring to scroll down so far to read them. Once again HELP came to the rescue by telling me to add AFTER THE JUMP which caused a page break and left a message to READ MORE (I changed the wording to suit me). This still didn't work until a blogger said he had to 'monkey' around with the settings and switch on ADVANCED EDITING. I thought that sounded hard but I managed to do it. It worked and this created a less cumbersome entry.
