Posting a link to a website

Hi Everyone,

Great job tonight- posting, embedding, following, linking.

Just in case you need a hand linking to one of the sites from the Callow reading, you click:

- New Post

- Select the edit html tab

- Write your comment/review and then use that same linking code from the tute but instead of the url of your blog and its name, use the site url and then give it an appropriate name. This name will display as the link to the site when you publish your post.

Remember to bring a storybook for next week's tute- choose one age appropriate for the prac you're about to embark upon. The best way to become digital is to apply it as soon as you get the skills.

See you next week -
