I'm having a lazy Sunday. I just spent a couple hours reading a book. And I'm going out to dinner soon.
I'm contemplating next projects. All I've really done is...
The bit on the right, actually. The bit on the left I did a while ago. Then I measured it against what I'm using, and it was too small. I probably have a couple more rows of the one on the right and then I'll bind it off.
This is the last week of school. My subbing stories are from last week, so this week's stuff will appear next week. And then I'm off (unless some summer school assignments pop up) until August.
So, for the blog, I thought I'd do a post on the mechanics of blogging once a week. (I'm getting rid of my "what to watch" as I have no idea what to watch on TV anymore.) Every so often I see a "Blogger won't do this" and "I can't figure out how to...", and I thought I might write about the various things I do know for those who don't. Maybe.
This won't start for a couple weeks. I'll have this week's subbing stories next week, and then I have my annual "what classes I covered this year" post. At the moment I'm 172 days out of 180 possible days for the year, but that's only if nothing pops up for Wednesday or Thursday (which may or may not happen--hard to tell).
So, I'm looking at Mondays remaining yarny, Tuesdays still my day to rant, Thursdays of 13 things (I've got a few already planned), and Fridays I'm not sure about yet. Wednesdays will be about blogging--the how tos of the platform. Of course, this might change on a whim.
Is there anything you'd be interested in learning about Blogger? I'm no expert, but I know a few things. Perhaps a bit about HTML? Any burning questions that you're curious about but never bothered to pursue? I can't promise I know the answer, but if I do, I can make a blog post out of it.
Anyone have any plans for the summer?
We all need a lazy Sunday now & again! I hope the last week of school isn't too frantic and goes by smoothly.
ReplyDeleteFrantic isn't the word. Usually it's a bit chaotic, but if I'm there, the classes aren't getting a final. (They usually already had it, or it's after I've been there.)
DeleteCan you write outa tutorial on how to put a YouTube video in your blog so that it plays on the blog and=ir takes you to YouTube? I tried to teach a friend how to do this because he often writes about music but his YouTube links aren’t clickable
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Thanks for the tip.
DeleteLazy Sundays are precious to me nowadays. I have no blogging questions right now. I'll be interested in whatever you decide to post on the topic.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm thinking of email/comments and HTML. I'm not sure what people know and what people don't know.
DeleteSounds like a good lineup.
ReplyDeleteIt'll keep the blog in posts, anyway.
DeleteWinding down is always good! Good plan forward. I have no suggestions for blogger (I used it for many years, then I moved to Wordpress that, to me, is more user friendly, and has more to offer).
ReplyDeleteI like how you don't have to go looking for follow up comments on Wordpress.
DeleteSounds like a plan. I only know the bare minimums of making my blog function but learning something new is always good.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to know whether there is a word processor on which I can type the entire post including illustrations, images, etc and post it straightaway, as it is, to Blogger.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure someone could construct something like that. The main issue is the underlying code. Some things you have to specifically add in to make it work online.
DeleteHi Liz - I'll be interested to read any tips - I just cope with Blogger ... and deal with things as they happen, or not - and then try and make a plan. I'd like to know more about Feedly to get friends' blogs appearing there ... but I never seem to have the power of concentrate to get it all done! So no worries in that direction - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteLazy Sundays are good. It sounds like you've got a good blog schedule.
