Learning to Blog, Part IV Adding fonts, colors, and URLs, etc.

Once we have something to say in our posts, we might want to add some variety to our posts to make them more visually interesting.
For example, I can change the font, or I can make the text bold or underlined, pretty much as we all know how to do in any document.  
When I learn something new, unlike my students, I'm often hesitant to think of the ways to change things up at first and stick only to what is taught. I think we can say a great deal with these subtle changes just as long as they don't create so much distraction that the content is forgotten.

  1. I can even add numbered lines
  2. create a list
  3. or make an outline
If I want to make bulleted points, it's just as easy

  • find the bullets button
  • click on the button
  • write the list
  • click the button again to make it stop
I can even write my entire post with the text centered 
in the middle
or off to the right side 
such as you see here
I can even cross out words if I want to for some reason.

I guess if I want to add a picture using a URL I can. As with the YouTube videos, I wonder if I have to contact the person where I got the picture.  I'm using a link to a picture from the page of Russell Stannard since I'm using his tutorial to learn how to create this blog and I imagine this book

would be a good one if it's anything like his video tutorial on creating a blog.


I made it through Part I of the training and now feel much better about creating a blog than I did an hour ago.
