Workin' on the blog...


I have some techno questions for my readers who also have blogs. I'm wanting to tweak my blog but I'm soooo not technological.

I have created a slide show in photobucket and a music playlist but have no clue how to upload them to my blog. Does anyone know how to do this. I don't want them as posts but as an added "gadget" on the side that comes up everytime my blog loads.

Also how does one go about starting a carnival? I have two or three I'm thinking about but I'm unsure about how to add Mr. Linky, how to create a graphic for it, how to get people to participate?

What would you all like to see me add? What kind of posts do you like or dislike. I haven't been feeling very original lately. Input greatly needed. PLEASE!

Hi Cyndi,
Go to blenza.com for Mister Linky. If you figure out a way to get folks to participate let me know. 8)
And the music thing? I don't read blogs that have 'em. Please don't add that.

On your dashboard there's a layout button. If you click that it has a list of things you can do. I believe that is where you would add a photo slide show or music. I hope that helps!

When you get ready to do a carnival, I can do the button/graphic for it for you. :) Let me know what your ideas are!

About the carnival - You have to market it. Get contacts and sell the idea. Announce it on your blog ahead of time - build it up. If you can get a bigger blog like CW to advertise it that would be a big help.

Are you on Twitter? It's another way to broadcast the news of the carnival.

Found a site you can check out - http://blogcarnivaltips.com/
I don't know what it takes to get listed at this site -
