Harriet,
Anything written in brown on my blog can be clicked on to take you somewhere else. So on this page click on “Welcome” which will take you to a post where part way down the page you have the heading
Activity 3. Create an avatar to represent you.
In that paragraph you have a brown link to ‘on this post’ which you click on. Finally there is a page with lots of different places to create an avatar.
Do you want one like mine? then go to Moeruavatar http://www.moeruavatar.com/index_en.shtml

My students are all learning English in Melbourne, Australia. They have all left school and some have already worked and studied. It would be good to meet up with some other students whoi are interested in what it is like to study in Australia.

Commenting section because we all don’t have a blog.
Harder thinking / Better commenting questions for as to answer.
Becoming a better commenter and do better commenting then we use to do when we started the challenge.

Hi this is alicecullen101,
I have two questions regarding adding widgets.
1. Can you add a Clustrmap without being a supporter?
2. How do you find international widgets or widgets about your area?

[...] At the beginning of the school year I entered our class into a blogging challenge. I have to confess and say that I forgot about the challenge, but this past week I had a teacher contact me about how she taught the Underground Railroad. I was curious as to how she found out about our class blog and I followed her trail (left by her IP address) and figured out she was referred to our blog by the blogging challenges website. So, as I started looking through the blogging challenge I remember why I had signed up for it – the challenge is AWESOME and will teach you all why blogging is important! So, this week we are going to work on really making our blog OUTSTANDING!!!! So I am copying and pasting information from the blogging challenge below and this is what I want you all to do this week for your blog entry. The link to the blogging challenging website is here.
