So the next thing for this week is creating a wordle. I like wordles, I think they are quite fun. I had a very hard time getting my wordle copied to my blog. There was no information indicating that it had to be saved to a public gallery, then the code copied and pasted into HTML form on my blog. Like I mentioned earlier, I am quite non-savy when it comes to technology and I like it when programs are user friendly. I did not find this one very user friendly, but thanks to a great co-worker, I was able to learn how to complete this task. I have had to re-do my wordle several times though because it continues to be quite blurry, much more so than on the website. But here it is...
This is a list of the books that the teen book club at our library read last year. If anyone has any ideas on how to get the wordle not so blurry, I would love to hear them because this was the fifth attempt at inserting a world into this blog. I tried re-sizing it and changing the fonts, but they always come out looking out of focus.
Sometimes when you right click on an image you can see the option to "copy image location", but otherwise you can copy the http:// address where you found the image and copy it to paste it as the source. There are times when the image creator can be cited, it is the person who runs the site, or whoevers flickr account you got it from, or an illustrator etc. and you can cite them. The image you used, for example, can be credited to Andrea Arden. When you put the image in the blog post and click on it, you will see some options it (it's tried to resize your wordle image) and one of those options is "Add caption". That's the best place to put a source :)
ReplyDeleteThe wordle was quite hard to post to the blog. Some people took a screen cap of theirs and saved it as an image to their computer to be able to post, but if you don't have a program that does screen caps then that doesn't really work.
