Techie Teachers

I had several comment on how I linked my blog to Facebook and got the codes for other things.  I will gladly point you in the right direction!  I can't claim to be a computer genius or anything :)

My go-to place for all things blogging and technology is Teaching Blog Addict!  There are several easy to follow tutorials on several different topics.  My favorite section is the Blogging Tips page.   I followed tip #25 for how to make a "scroll to the top" button on my blog.  It links to Cheers To School.  You can see her directions here. 

I followed tip #29 for making my social media buttons.  It is from The Resource Room Teacher.  I loved how she labeled them Social Butterfly so I used her idea.  That took me a little longer but it was my fault.  It had never used Photobucket and I thought I could get away with using Shutterfly.  FAIL!  I was so frustrated.  I finally followed her directions (duh!) and it was quick and easy.

To link my Facebook page to my Blog, I followed the directions and used the code from Cara at Teaching in my Calling.  She also had step by step directions for how to make a Facebook page for your blog. 

There you go!  Try them out.  It took me a few hours but I love the result.  I can't thank these bloggers for all their help and inspiration!  I love this community!

In other news, I think I found a good substitute for Google Reader.  I took the advice of Greg from Smedley's Smorgasboard of Kindergarten and joined Bloglovin.  As soon as I signed up, I was able to easily import all of the blogs I follow on Google to the site.  It was easy-peasy, lemon squeezy, as my kinders would say.
