Old Dog, Another New Trick

With all of this online teaching, I've had to learn a few things - trial by fire. What actually helped me a lot was already having this blog. Downloading, uploading, urls, sourcing... combined with years of word processing and report card programmes meant I had a decent chance of figuring things out.

However, there has been one thing I really wanted to learn and that was how to create tabs across the top of my blog so I could have other pages. As you know, there really is a video for everything. I typed in a search in Pinterest and found a video that took me through things. It wasn't the new Blogger they were referencing, but I could figure it out anyway. 

So now I have a tab where you can click to see what books I have read in 2021. If you click on it, it will take you to another page where... I have listed one book haha! I've been busy, but I really want to keep track of what I am reading this year. I figure this will be mostly for me (so I don't keep signing the same books out of the library), but others may find it interesting. I have taken other bloggers' suggestions for books in the past. 

If you want to do this, you can watch this if you like. 

Oh, and for what it's worth, I collected three eggs yesterday. You go, girls!!

  3. Good for you for adding tabs...I am having problems with blogging and my website...if I do something regularly there is no problem...... something you have to do occasionally I am stumped.

  5. There is a tutorial about anything and everything. I am constantly looking up how to do things. Yesterday I found out how to take a screenshot on Macs. I put it off for years.

  7. Thanks for sharing! Yes, there is a video for everything - I was able to replace an overhead light, on my own, by watching various videos.

    Take care, stay well!

  9. Good for you for working all that out. I still haven't worked out how to put videos on the blog with this new blogger. I must Google. Obvious but I'm a bit slow

  11. I can't remember how I figured out how to do that but it's nice to have that feature. I posted travel stuff there and I probably need to have a look and see what I need to do now -- add to or take off! It will be fun seeing your books!

  12. Amazing what we learn by the only choice we have: figure it out. When I started and wanted to learn things, but was terrified of screwing up my real blog, I started another blogs called "practice". I used it to try out everything I wanted to do. Then folks figured out I had two blogs and kept asking what was the other about. I finally killed it.

  15. Cool. It is possible for everybody to work things out. The information is usually there somewhere if you want it badly enough.

  16. I am a visual learner also. I'm glad you found how to make the tab. I have a few on my blog. I should delete the recipe one. I never found an easy way to add to it. Can't wait to see what you are reading.
