Friday 4/8 Blogging Day!

Look back at your posts so far. Has there been a major theme among them? Is there a common thread holing them all together?

Come up with a keyword you can use to search that theme. Then, do a little research. See if you can find other blogs or news articles that also address your theme.

Try Google Blog Search!

Write a new blog post today and make 3 links in it to direct your readers to the similar or related pieces you read today.

How? Highlight a word or picture in your new blog post. Click the button above your blog editing window that has an icon which looks like a link in a chain over the earth. Paste the URL you wish to link to in the box that pops up.

TA-DAAAA! You've made a link!
