Jen's Blog

I added myself, using my work email, as another member, to test that all members had editing rights. They do! But to do so they need to be, or become, a registered Blogger user. I also looked at the Security settings and have made myself a moderator so that I have to approve posts before they go live on the blog. Thanks to KB for the advice. Another colleague has shown me how to add descriptors to the images when the mouse hovers over them, so if you didn't know before, you can now find out what sort of an owl it is. Have also fine tuned adding links to the text. Originally I had just pasted the link into the text, but if you want it to be a hyperlink, you need to add the html code, in the same format that is added to the links in the left menu bar. Yeah, I know, this will be obvious to the html coders out there, but I am only learning ;-).

There are also quirky differences in the appearance when you compare between Firefox on my Mac and IE on my laptop. Borders around images remain brown in Firefox, but are coloured as links in IE (blue, then purple if you have followed the links. How predictable!

Hmmmm.... there is a lot to learn.

Reflection to date: The owl image is too large, and have opted for the thumbnail versions for future images, as can be seen in the shots of Sorento. Have learnt to adjust border size around images and add white space between the image and the text. Also, to add a second image, not available in the default Blogger composer settings. So, have learnt lots. Hopefully, the next time i tackle this I will have learnt how to change the background and font colours, ready for my next blog. BTW, images are hosted for free on ImageShack. Now will test access for some colleagues and see how that goes.

Meet Sorento Star, the star of the show. Sorento is so busy doing the things that cat's do to keep amused, that a daily sun nap is a prerequisite to keep fit and healthy and restore the energy used up during his many explorations and treasure hunts to satisfy his curious mind.
