PART 2 FIX UP YOUR BLOG
----------------------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT CHOOSE A TEMPLATE
THIS JUST MESSES UP MY ABILITY TO SEE AND MARK YOUR PROJECTS

---THINGS TO LEARN:
UNDER LAYOUT 
  • add an image gadget,
  • edit the header and
  • create a link list


1.  PLACE AN AVATAR THE RIGHT

Image Gadget: 
create an avatar then upload it to your dropbox ACCOUNT
https://mybluerobot.com/create-your-own-avatar

2. EDIT the HEADER

create a header then upload it to your dropbox ACCOUNT
create a header:  http://www.bannersnack.com/

3. CREATE A LIST OF LINKS TO OTHER BLOGS

add your name and the name of your blog
Link List: 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
your first POST:
TITLE: PREDICTED GRADE

find numbers to create a predicted percent grade and letter grade:
All animated gifs 
If you choose: A -  95%  then get an 5, a 9, a percent sign and the Letter 
I used insert URL - under 'insert image' above
Change the background colour by name or use colour HEX codes --> LINK
add the two highlighted lines only!

<div style="background: peru;">

all the code in between
HEX code for lime is #00FF00
Blogspot will most likely convert it to RGB
rgb(0, 255, 0)

</div>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
your second POST:
TITLE: what I want to learn in IT

1. Tell me what you would like to learn in IT
