Changing Your Image

As you look at wrapping your projects up you may be considering changing the look of your blog. Well, I have just created a video tutorial that will show you how to change your project blogs to pop out images like this tutorial blog. You will need to watch in order to understand how to change your blog's look using The Cutest Little Blog On The Block website. You will learn how to enter a html code to manipulate your blog's image to make it look as flashy as you want. You will not be able to access the website from school without my assistance, but from changing your blog from home should not be a problem at all.

Happy Blogging.

Let's Keep It Rolling

Ok, you're thinking about your budget now and you should be to the point where you are trying to piece everything together. I have noticed that many of the groups are having some difficulty getting together to talk about your individual research. It is evident that there has not been much collaboration on the blog entries because individually, no one can tell me what is going on. Well, I have developed a new Wiki for you to use as a place for you to take all the information that each member of the group may gather on their own and put where every member can see it and either agree or add to it in order to make the blog about that particular city more engaging and meaningful for the entire team. Don't know how to use the Wiki? Don't worry, click on little Smittie and he'll take you to our new Wiki Site (http://smittieproject.wikispaces.com) and you'll find six-step tutorial to make the wiki simple and beneficial to use.
