New to Blogger


I am new to blogger, but not new to blogging.  I have used blogs via weebly in my classroom and I blog my adventures on a weebly as well.  I've always been sad (ok that's too dramatic) that no one seems to use my weebly blog, so I'm hoping that blogger is better received.  When I created this site for UMUC, I went ahead and created a personal one, too.  I'm already noticing that there are a lot of apps that go with blogger, so I can post from anywhere.  I love that.  I'm excited, however I am already frustrated.  One: I can't figure out the pages.  I have created a few pages, but everything posts to the home page.  I also am struggling with adding the RSS feed.  I think our instructions are outdated.  I'm not following my groupmates and they have no way to follow me.  I found weebly to be much, much easier.  (However, I'm still excited that blogger is connected to Pinterest).  Anyhow, I sent a shout out to my group, so hopefully we'll be in business soon.  Another frustration is that the YouTube videos seem to be outdated leading me to believe that there have been recent changes with blogger.  So again, frustration.

  1. You are linked to my page!!! I sort of figured it out by trial and error. Under layout you click on add a gadget and then you can add an RSS feed from there. It was not very intuitive but I did get it to work!!!
