The creation of this blog is for my MA course. I hope I can share my views with my classmates on new technologies in language teaching through this blog.

Frustration!!!
I feel very frustrated about using the Blog as I don't know how to create a link to the blogs of my classmates. Can someone give any help?
Open up your blog (from Discussion Board). Make sure everything written at the top of the page is in English. It should read 'Follow' 'Share' 'Report Abuse' etc. etc. Click on 'Dashboard'.
The dashboard has a few icons you can click. Click on Layout.
Then click 'Add a Gadget' which appears on the right hand side above 'Followers'.
Move the scroll bar down until you find 'Link list'. Click the + .
Title should be 'Classmates' Blogs'. Sorting - sort alphabetically, New site URL - the site of one of your classmates' blogs which can be found from Discussion Board. New site name - your classmate's name
Then click 'Add link'. Repeat for all of your other classmates.
Finally, click the tiny 'View Blog' to view your blog.
Hi, Kiat. Thank you so much for rescuing me from my frustration. I will try out the procedures tonight. After talking to Calvin, it seems that there are some problems with my school computer so that I cannot use some of the functions. Anyway, you guys are really nice!!!
Well it looks to me like Kiat has a handle on this sort of thing, far more so than I have. I think he must be a bit of a geek, so I may have to ask him some questions myself !
Quite the contrary, Gibble! Actually, last week I was as frustrated as Jade was and I only managed to work out how to add links to other classmates' blogs after playing around with the blogger functions and going through a lot of trial and error!
OK Jade, here is a nice link for you and your son ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHqXBZFZ6OA remember to look at More From: and see if there is anything more there that you like...and more to the point save it if you like it ! I am using Firefox and 1-Click YouTube Video Downloader 1.2.1 and now it is working well.
