Day 2: Links, Pics and Movies!

Today it all starts to come together!  Today the content gets spruced up!  Today I shall learn to link to websites, post pictures, and place movies!!  I hope you guys are as excited as I am!

Yesterday's post made it clear that the quest for knowledge may not always be as simple and direct as I had hoped.  That said, in comparison, today's post was incredibly straightforward.  I confess I did spent more time figuring out what to do than I needed to.  I initially started off surfing through the Bloggers "Getting Started Guide" looking for clues on how to add hypertext links. While I was unable to find any advice on how to setup a hypertext link, the "add a video" and "add an image" directions were quite straightforward.  When I finally decided to give up on looking for hypertext, and got to work on learning how to add videos and images, I realized that right next to them on the post editor toolbar was a hypertexted link button.  {face palm}  It looked a little like this:

It is just this incredibley EASY!  Big YAY on that one.  Because I wasn't too interested in having to spend a couple of hours surfing the interwebs trying to find answers only to realize that there were other questions I needed to ask first to get there.  So yes, good times!

And finally I shall prove my newfound blog skills by finishing this post off with an incredible 2min documentary from the National Film Board of Canada.


Enjoy!  So far I still am.

Tomorrow: Learning about HTML!
