Voting on Halloween Project
Click on the link above to view the projects, then go to the voting page to cast your vote.  You can only vote once.  If you vote more than once, all your votes will be removed.

Everyone:
If you used a dynamic layout when you created your blog, please change it.  I need to be able to see your tags and archive without having to click around to find it.

How do you know if yours is a dynamic layout or not?  When you're looking at your blog, can you see your archived posts, or do you have to click on the little tabs on the side of the page?  If you have to click the tabs, your blog is a "dynamic" blog.

Here's how to change it:
While viewing your blog home page (where you read your posts):

• click on the little house in the top right corner
• then on the next page click the dropdown on the far right of your page next to "View Blog"
• and click "Template"
• On the template page, scroll down and choose any template EXCEPT a dynamic template.

Graphic Design:

Thursday, 10/18/12

Hey, Photoshop 2.  I decided that if I was going to require you to post your work regularly to your blog, I would do the same.  If you'll look to the right of this page, you'll see a link to my "Work in Progress" blog.

For Everyone:  Adding labels and the label gadget is a grade.  If you would like your grade to be a 100 instead of a "Missing," please go back and look at the Oct. 8 post.

Also For Everyone:
If your first name is not at the top of your blog, please put it there now, by either of these ways:

• Change the title

1. While viewing your blog, Click on "Design" in the top right corner (if you have a "Dynamic" design you will click on the little house, then click the dropdown and click "Settings")
2. Click on "Settings" on the left
3. At the top, under "Basics," you'll see "Title."  
4. Click "Edit"

• Add a "Text Gadget"

1. While viewing your blog, Click on "Design" in the top right corner (if you have a "Dynamic" design you will click on the little house, then click the dropdown and click "Settings")
2. Click on "Layout" on the left
3. Click "Add a Gadget" on the right side of the page
4. Scroll down to "Text" and click it
5. In the large box, write something about yourself or just type your name.  Whichever you do, make sure you include your first name but not your last (although you can include your last initial if you like).
