What to do in E-Comm today
Hello everybody,
I hope that you enjoyed the fire practice this morning......you all looked like you were having fun!
Today in E-Comm I want you all to make sure that you have written a personal profile (go to 'Layout' and click on 'edit' in the 'about me' box), and a blog description (click on 'edit' in the 'header' box).
I also want you to make sure that you've written a post about your excursion to London this week (click on 'new post' and get writing). Don't forget to give each of your posts a title!
When these tasks are completed (and your teacher has checked your texts for any mistakes), you can look at the 'how to...' list to the left of this page and follow the instructions for adding a visitor counter. This will tell you how many people have visited your blog so far.
If you open a new tab to sign into Blogger, you can keep this page open as well. This will let you follow the instructions while you're working on your blogs.
Finally, I want you all to make sure that you send your blog address to at least five people at home today!
Happy blogging! Don't forget to ask me or your teachers if you're having any difficulties.

The British Museum
Hello everybody.I Hope you all enjoyed your excursion to the British Museum.
If any of you have any photos from the excursion or any photos from your stay here so far, I would be very grateful if you could save them in the folder called photos so far.
You can access this file by clicking on the green 'start' button at the bottom of your screen, then by clicking on 'My Computer' and then clicking on 'linesstudents on 'qwoodgc2'. Now you can put your photos in the 'Photos so far file' (if you have any problems, just ask me).
I hope you all have a good day today and remember- SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!!
Projects overview
Hello everybody,
Time to get started on some projects!
At the end of this course each student will have a blog (set up with comments enabled, a visitor counter and link list, photos or video on it, and a completed profile).
Apart from that, you also have to choose to do a few of the following things:
A Powerpoint Presentation
An A3 Colour Poster (an advertisement for your blog?)
A Website
A Newspaper page
A Crossword
A Comic strip
You also need to think about the content of your project. Here are some ideas to help you decide what to write about:
Excursion-related topics
Countries, nationalities, food, travel, culture etc.
People and Biographies - famous people or Lines people - staff, students, anyone!
Current affairs - news and politics
Queenswood News & Gossip
Daily Life at Lines (Activities, Classes, food, houses, discos, anything!)
Short stores, film or book reviews, horror stories etc.
And of course, if you write or research anything for any of your other classes or workshops, you can use it as the content of your projects here!
I might add more options to this as we think of them. If there is anything else you would like to do that we haven't thought of, let us know.
Have a look at the side bar to the left of this post. There are a list of links to blogposts we have written that tell you how to do things. If you are not sure how to do something, have a look there first, and try to work it out yourself. If you have any trouble, ask a friend or your teacher.

Your presentation can be on a topic of your choice (see the list of suggestions on the Project Overview page). It should include the following things:
At least 6 slides (not including the title!)
Pictures
Text

How to Create a Newspaper Page
Use MS Word to create a page (or 2) that look like a newspaper or magazine page. Think about the type of writing that you usually find in newspapers and magazines:
News articles
Information articles (eg. travel, countries)
Horoscopes
Personal Stories
Film, book, music, theatre or concert reviews
Comic strips (see link in Project Instructions menu)
You need to write your newspaper content in the classroom before you come to the computer class so that in the computer room you can concentrate on the format and layout of your page.
Each page should have at least some of the following:
collumns
pictures
a headline/title & subheadings
a 'by' line (who is the article by?)
Ask your teacher if you have any questions, and of course, show us your work when it is finished!

How to Create an A3 Poster
To prepare and print an A3 colour poster you first need to choose your topic.
You can make a full colour advertisement of your blog, or if you have a different idea, as your teacher if it's ok.
Firstly, you need to prepare your document to be printed as an A3 page:
Open Microsoft Word and go to File, in the top left corner and click on Page Setup.
In the upper part of the window that opens you will find three tabs. One of them is Paper. Click it and choose Paper Size: A3. You can also choose if you want 'Portrait' or 'Landscape' orientation.
You should add some WordArt to your ad! Go to Insert then Picture and click WordArt, choose a style, and type the text you want. Remember to move to wherever you wish and drag its corners to make it larger or smaller.
Do you want to change the background? Nothing simpler! Go to Format, click Background and choose the colour you want.
Add a picture or 3 to your page? Go to Insert / Picture and choose From File to locate the picture you want in your folder. Remember you can always choose to include ClipArt in your ads
Remember to preview your work of art before you print it! That can easily be done by going to File / Print Preview.
Have fun with your creations!

How To Add a Visitor Counter
To add a visitor counter, you need to sign up to a site such as statcounter.com, which provides free visitor counters for websites.
Once you have a counter, you can see how many people are visiting your blog.
To get started, just go to http://www.statcounter.com/ and click on "Register Now".
Follow the instructions to complete registration.
Make sure you tick the box that makes your stats public, so everyone can see who is looking at your blog!
At the end of the registration process, statcounter will say 'here is your code'.
You now have to add that code to your blog.
Select and copy the entire code for the 'Visible Counter' so that you are ready for the next step.
To add the counter to your blog, you need to go to your dashboard, then click on 'Layout', then 'Add a Gadget' in the place where you want your counter to appear.
Find the element called 'HTML/Java script' and click 'Add to Blog'.
Add a title if you want, and then paste the code from statcounter into the box, and click 'Save Changes'.
Your counter should now be visible when you view your blog!
If you have any problems, ask your teacher!

How To Enable Comments and Word Verification
Everyone should make sure their blogs have visitor counters and link lists.
Click on the links here or in the side bar if you don't know how to do this.
You should also make sure that anyone can comment on your blog by going to 'settings', then 'comments' and changing the 'who can comment' box to 'anyone'.
The only problem with this is that then robots can write advertising comments on your blog.
To stop this, look further down the page for 'show word verification on comments' and change it to 'yes'.
Now you should send an email to your friends and family to ask them to read your blog everyday and write comments on it!

How to Create a Link List
Click on 'Layout'
Click on 'Add a Gadget' in the sidebar of your blog.
Find the 'Link List' option, and click 'Add to Blog'
Type a title for your list, such as 'Wordsworth Blogs' or whatever you like.
Don't worry about the number of links or sorting (leave it blank) but go straight to the 'url' and enter the url of the first blog you want to link to. It is easier to copy and paste so that you know it is exactly correct. (Remember you can use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl-C anc Ctrl-V to copy and paste!)
Type the name of the blog - this will be what you actually see in your sidebar.
Click on 'Add Link'
Repeat the last two steps for all the blogs in your class (but not your own, of course!)
Remember to click 'Save Changes' when you are done!
