How do you link your parent newsletters to your web site?

Almost any document that you create can be linked to your web site.  What is required of your document is that it needs to have its own web presence; your file needs to be stored somewhere on the web.  An easy way to do this is to upload your file into your Google docs area.  Once there, you can copy your file's web address and post it to your web site.  Download the directions.  If you need additional assistance, just send me an email and I'll walk you through the process.

How can someone search your Blogger web site?

As you continue to post, add links and other resources to your blogger web site, material begins to move from your front page to your archive.  You or any of your users may want to retrieve an assignment, watch a video posted last month or just search for a list of resources on a particular topic.  This is easily accomplished if you add a Search Box gadget to your site.  Download the directions.

If you type smart into my site's search box you will come up with several pages of articles and a lot of Smartboard links.
