Adding a video post

I'm going to add a videos of corgis squaredancing.  I can't help it.

To do this, I clicked on the film icon above, and chose to pick an existing youtube video.  It asked me to search, and I did, on "corgi squaredance."  This video appears below.


but since Cengage wants to make sure I know how to do it right, I will do it their way:

This video by Michael Wesch presents a good introduction to Web 2.0.



Interesting. I can see the difference in just embedding and choosing a youtube video, or pasting the embed text into the edit html. When I do it as an embed into Edit HTML, it adds the icons for sharing the video. Cool!

Formatting Blog posts

To format blog posts, I can use Bold, Italic, and Underline, or a combination of all three.

I can change color.

I can add a hyperlink to a website like this one.

I can add an image:

  1. I can add bulleted lists.
  2. or numbered lists.

Edited later to add:  I understand how to edit posts later.

First Post on It's Called College

I am going to use this blog to connect all of my courses at JWU.  I am taking three interesting courses out of the gate this semester: My FIT course has us working in Blogger in the first week, and in this I can capture what I am learning in my Advanced Composition and Environmental Science courses.
