Week 2

THING 3
Creating the blog was easy. The instructions on the Web 2.0 outline paralled with the software, so that built my confidence! I was excited when I saw how nice my background of books looked behind my post. I thought it was soo original. Funny, the next day I was at the public library where I volunteer every week and was surfing through the Teen Zone on the Pima County Public Library website and I saw IT! My background was on the Teen Blog for the branch. And I thought I was soo orignial. I learned that blogspot.com is obviously highly popular. Reality.

Creating my avatar was the most fun, but not without complications and frustration. After several attempts and determination, I was able to transfer her to my blog. There were some glitches in that process. I am somewhat dichotomous and do things easier when I can follow step by step-a product of my education. Transfering the avatar successfully, required me to try different things, before the computer finally figured out what I wanted! I had to be persisent as it took time and patience. That won't hold me back, however. I loved dressing her up and look forward to creating more. I already have favorites saved. It's sort of  like paper dolls. I always wanted to have my own avatar. They would often pop up as I was surfing the net and I thought, "How'd they do that?"

Question: Can anyone share more specifics about the Monetize Tab for our blogs and in using AdSense? What are all the benefits to using AdSense?
