Posting on the blog

Those involved with the Gold Works CPD Group should have got an email inviting them to be a contributor to this blog with the name Vicky Creevey attached. You just need to click on the link on this email and sign up to be able to post. You don't have to create a google account to do this - you can do it with your existing email and will be asked to create a password.

You can put a bit of information about you and what you do on your profile, including a picture.

I like the idea that we all contribute to the same blog but I think it would be good to be able to be able to separate out posts from different contributors. The best way to do this is using 'labels'. I will put an element on the blog that will display these labels and when someone clicks on a particular label they will just see posts for that label. So basically every time you add a post put you name in as the label (be consistent if you use your full name once continue to do so) . I know it is a bit of a hassle to remember but it will make for a better site.

In the blog you can type stuff (obviously), add images:

You can also upload video:



Or alternatively embed them (feed from another site):



There is some guidance for embedding youtube videos here (oh and you can easily add links too).

Anyway have fun - and I hope we can make this an interesting chronicle of our creative grapplings with technology.
