Assignment 10 for my Blogging 101 course was really simple. All I had to do was one of three things:
- Add a “Blogs I Follow” widget.
- Add a “Links” Widget.
- Use the Text widget to list and describe links to any blog or site I wanted.
I chose the first option and placed it on my sidebar. One thing to note is that the blogs being mentioned could be shown as part of a list or via images (the avatars the authors use). I tried both, and felt that the use of images was make for a more dynamic viewing.
Currently, I am following 14 blogs. (Yes, I need to branch out more and find more blogs.) However, the widget could be set to show only a certain number of those blogs. For now, four blogs will only be shown on my sidebar. Not all the authors of blogs I follow use custom avatars, but the four at the top do. As I find more and more blogs I want to follow, there will be more featured via the widget.
