Go Go Gadget Blog Tools!

Well a very good morning to you all Grade 9s!

You should have already selected a layout for your blog. To do this, follow these instructions:
On the dashboard > click the Design tab > select the Blogger Designer Template to find the different layout options. Once you have the layout, colours and fonts you want, it is time to spice up your blog with gadgets. 

What are gadgets, you ask? A gadget is anything you add to your blog other than a post. We've already added the "followers" gadget and you should all be following your blog, my blog and your classmates blogs (if you'd like). Gadgets are added into the side, top or bottom bars--your design template shows you where your posts and gadgets will appear in the window.

To add a gadget:

Go to the dashboard > click the Design tab > Add a gadget.

Gadgets are listed under four categories: basic, featured, most popular and more gadgets. Scroll through and add some gadgets. A great one is the "about me" gadget, where you can do a quick write up about the content or theme of your blog. More questions on criteria? See the criteria page at the top of this blog!
