A Few Technical Points

To add a poll to your blog:

1. Make sure you are logged into your gmail account
2. Go to your blog and click "customize" in the top right hand corner / menu bar
3. On the "Template" tab, click on "page elements"
4. Choose "Add New Page Element"
5. Add a poll will be one of your choices

Take a look at some of the other elements as well -- you can add lists of links, list of anything (character's favorite bands or movies etc.), pictures, a profile, or additional blocks of text


To add video from You Tube:
1. Once you've opened the video, look to the right of the video itself
2. To the right of the word embed you will see a box filled with code
3. Copy the code
4. Go to your blog, add new post, and paste this code in the text portion of your post

That's it!
