adding links to your blog

Adding links to your blog is fairly simple. Log into your blog and go to the template page. There is a box there with lots of geek speak sorts of things. This is affectionately known as HTML (hypertext mark up language), which are the ingredients and recipe that make up your website. If you scroll down, most likely toward the bottom, you will see something that looks like this:


<!-- Begin #sidebar -->
<div id="sidebar"><div id="sidebar2">


Any text you write below this tagline will appear in the sidebar of your blog. If you would like to make a list of links you need to use the format below. This is an example of the way I added links to this blog. Be sure to put in the entire web address, including the http:// part.

I suggest that you copy the lines below and paste them into you blog.


<ul>
<li>L I N K S</li>
<li><a href="http://www.petalumajuniorhigh.org/">pjhs home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.petalumacityschools.org/">petaluma city schools home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://staff.tuhsd.k12.az.us/createwebsite.html">additional resources</a></li>
</ul>


You can add as many links as you want as long as they are listed above the </ul> tag and each line is formatted like this:
<li><a href="COMPLETE WEB ADDRESS">TITLE OF LINK</a></li>
