Your hand in is at the end of your session.
We will meet at start of your session and have a short crit.
You will then have the rest of the session to finish up. So if there is any thing you need to have clarified be prepared to make your inquiry at the beginning of class.
HOW TO ONLY SHOW FOUR POSTS?
In your settings, go to formatting, there at the top of the page you will be able to see where you can change the number of posts per page. Change the number to 4.
Copy the material needed for hand in and paste into new posts.
Remember, blogger reads in reverse chronological order so your last post will be the first one on your page and will be the very first impression we will get.
The review of your online activity from networking with other 112 blog sites. This is a summary of what comments you made to whom, and why, and a summery of any comments that that others made on your site. Use less than 100 words
(remember the lurking task was research task only and is not needed for the hand in. But draw on that experience as you write your review)
+your one image and descriptive text
+the composite image interacting with a network.
+your video blog on a process
(any captions make less than 20 works for these two posts)
+your review of you online activity, networking with other 112 blog sites.
Note: use your titles creatively to introduce each post.
A copy of the assessment criteria will be handed out at the beginning of class, but for now you can view this on these Blogosphere & Networking site.
See you tomorrow.

(On Monday ... how to edit and arrange your posts to meet submission requirements)
Make sure you are up to date with all your tasks.
Submission requirements are posted on the Blogoshpere & Networking Main site.
>>In your links. Add YOUR CLASS LIST and BLOGOSPHERE & NETWORKING
http://blogosphere112bloglist.blogspot.com/
http://112blogosphere.blogspot.com/
>>Continue to make usefully comments on other blogs.
Use this time as an opportunity to learn off each other. If you see a blog that has something you would like to do or are having trouble with, make a comment and ask for help ie “ I really like where you have placed your video element, how did you do that?
Start brainstorming with a partner on a VLOG.
Your Vlog needs to show a process.
A Vlog is a video log. Sharing information online using the medium of video.
For this project you will make a vlog no longer than Two minutes. (even thirty seconds may be enough)
(you don't have to use the same video as your partner, just work together on the process, brainstorming, sharing resources and helping each other complete this task, it will help if you have similar interests though)
>>Next week you will have time to post these Vlogs next week (there are a few ways to do this, one way is explained at the end of the VLOG on making a BLOG that is currently posted)
The content and editing and style of your blog is up to you.
Consider how this will fit with the overall theme, look or stance of your blog.
A Vlog on a process could be simply a video of you making a blog.
Remember this blog is about your ideas, how do each post relate to each other? Does your blog read as a whole? Does it have impact?
“A process is a naturally occurring or designed sequence of changes of properties or attributes of an object or system. More precisely, and from the most general systemic perspective, every process is representable as a particular trajectory (or part thereof) in a system's phase space.”

Second Studio: URL's, Lurking and Pictures
Second studio
Uploading pictures and become a lurker(1).
+Email the url of your blog site to your tutors so that you can be linked to the main blogosphere site. (The specifics on how to do this will be clarified at the beginning of this session and outlined on the blogosphere site) this means we can start lurking.
+ Upload the picture that you have from your last semester project. Add that to the written post that you have already blogged. (help files are online but i have pasted these for you below)
+ Find a blog network and become a lurker
Reading blogs and looking at social networks without having any participation into that net work is called “lurking” this task introduces you to this concept.
+Research blogs of interest (relevant to your work) and choose three of the best.
+Embed the hyperlink of these three sites into your post (to do this find this icon on you “make a new post” page > )
+Write a brief overview 50-100 max words of your favorite THREE. (That’s no more than 100 words covering all three sites)
What information is conveyed and how these link together? What information is on the site, why does it interest you, how did you find them?
What’s the Look, vibe, style, stance or point?
+Add a list of labels to describe what you have found. (Labels link back to the keywords you use in your post)
(1) “Many modern Internet communities now advise newbies to lurk for some time to get a feel for the specific culture and etiquette of the community, lest they make an inappropriate or redundant comment, ask a Frequently Asked Question, or incite a flame war. This leads to the tongue-in-cheek command to "lurk moar". The verb to "de-lurk" means to start contributing actively to a community having been a lurker previously.”

How do I post pictures?
You can now upload photos to your blog(s) using Blogger Images; just click the image icon in the post editor's toolbar.
When you click this icon, you'll get a window that allows you to select an image or multiple images from your computer. Click the Browse button to locate the ones you want. Alternatively, you can enter the URL of an image that's already online and insert it into your post.
If you click the link to choose a layout, you can customize the way your images will appear in your post:
The left, center and right options determine how the text of your post flows around the pictures. The size option lets you scale the pictures to different sizes within this posting area. Note that the picture will still be uploaded in its full size; this option just determines how it's scaled within the content of your post.
Alternatively, you can post images to your blog using Mail-to-Blogger. This feature allows you to email posts with image attachments directly to your blog. For more information about Mail-to-Blogger, please see this article.

How do I post pictures from Flickr?
Blogger now supports image uploading for all users, but we also know that a lot of people have Flickr accounts as well. So if you'd like to post pictures using Flickr, here's how.
(Prerequisite reading: Flickr Help, How do I get the URL of a photo?)
First, you'll need to create an account at 
, a web-based photo sharing service created by our friends up in Vancouver. Once you've logged into Flickr, add your Blogger blog to your Flickr account. (we're just covering photo-blogging in this tutorial, but there's plenty more cool stuff to configure and do at Flickr, too)
There are several ways to send photos to Flickr. One is to use the slick Mac uploader, which lets you drag and drop batches of photos to be uploaded. Another is to use the web uploader. A third is to email them to Flickr—you can even tell Flickr to automatically post emailed photos to your blog!
Once you've added a photo to Flickr, you can visit that photo's page and Blog it:
Other photo-sharing sites that support Blogger:
Have fun!
