Hi Sue
Can gadgets (eg a flower clock) be installed in the free blog? I can’t seem to do it. I know I have Java script enabled, but the gadget doesn’t show. I dragged a text widget into my sidebar and copied, pasted & saved the code, but it didn’t work. I’ve been reading through the forums but nothing seems to work.
Please help! Thanks
Jasmine

Hi, everyone!
I have some questions also as Morgan Kolis, could you help me? thank!

This questions are:
1. How do you get more people to read your blog and comment? Can you give tips on attracting others to your blog page?

2. What are track backs and ping backs?

3. In Google Blogger, can you tell how many times your blog has been viewed or who has viewed your blog if they don’t leave a comment?

Hello, I would like to learn how to input pictures onto my blog. I would like to put on scanned in pictures that would be in a pdf file as well as downloaded pictures from my camera.
thanks, Deanna

@Ima If you like the blog URL I wouldn’t delete it because you won’t be able to get that same URL again. So if you want that URL what you do is delete the posts and pages instead.

Thanks for the nice feedback!

Sue,

Thank you very much for your reply.

The blog I’m playing with is for a tech class I’m taking, and it is published because I didn’t realized it would go public once I clicked that button–yes, I’m that new at it. I want to delete that blog.

I think I have widgets figured out. If not, I know where to come for help once I get my classroom blog up and going.

This is a wonderful service you’re providing for teachers.

Thank you,
V

Thanks everyone so far for sharing your questions and I plan to publish the post this week.

However I do need to answer the questions about student blogs as they won;’t be covered in this next post.

@Cheryl Can I get you to confirm you mean student blogs that you are attached to as an admin user and that are showing in your My Blogs area?

@Ina We have a lot of literature and reading blogs that try to use Pages for these types of blog. Your better approach is to use posts and assign categories to the posts. Then add a category widget to your side bar. Otherwise what can happen is you will find you may end up with lots of pages and lots of comments on the Pages that make it hard to manage.

If you could give me a link to your blog I will show you what I mean?

Hi,
I am a very new beginner to blogging. I want to set up a blog for literature circles and would like to have students posts questions and comments on a separate page for each book, within one site. In my practice attempt to set up a blog site, the posts all go to the first page. Is there a way to have a home page first and then separate pages where students can post?

Oh, and is there a way to delete my practice blog?…it isn’t worth keeping.

Thanks,
V

Hi,
This is my first year with a PRO account and having students with their own blogs. Since I started in January, I still have a couple of months left on my subscription, before I renew it again, and would like to use the same blog with my new students in August.
How do I ‘release’ my students and add my new students? Are there settings that need to be reset? Would it be possible for you to post the steps involved in ‘letting last years students go’ and setting up blogs for my new students?
Thanks so much,
Cheryl
