New Gadgets for your Google Blogs
What are those things I keep seeing on blogs???
I have been having so much fun “digg” ing around the internet for all the new social networking sites and following them to great blogs! The FAVORITE thing of all is all the new gadgets I’ve been finding on other people’s blog sites. If you like any of the one’s I have on the right of my page, usually if you just click on them it will take you to their own “widget maker” page and you can get one for your blog too…
In your Blogspot Blog, just go to your dashboard, layout, page elements, Add a Gadget, you will usually need the Html/Java Script one.. click on that.. copy and paste whatever little script the Gadget maker gave you… save and wala (is that a word?) you have your new gadget… Preview to see where you want to put it and then “grab” the widget box and pull it into position. Save… there you have it.
I just found the twitter box this morning… it’s cute! And then separate from that the twitter updates, My DIGG… things I’ve found online that were interesting… not necessarily all business.. but interesting none the less. Sphinn it… a social website all about Social Networks and Web 2.0, and then of course the two coolest things were the “share this” and “add this” buttons so that you can save this blog or certain articles on any one of the many social networking sites out there…
There are a bunch of these sites.. I’ve listed some of the most popular below for you to check out….
Facebook
So THAT’s what all those cute little things I keep seeing on the net!
It really is fun getting on these sites and seeing if any of your long lost relatives are out there. I so far have found two of my college roommates that I’d lost touch with, so if for now other reason… that made it worth it.
Testing the Blog Editor in Flock
Flock is a new browser that was developed for social networking. I am just getting used to it…but it has a bunch of very cool features for keeping track of all those spots you are supposed to join to create your online presence. It remembers your passwords for all of them, and arranges them neatly in a column to your left. It also has this nifty blog editor built right into the browser window… and I’m literally trying it out right now. Come and check this new browser out. It’s worth a look.
