BlogThis! is an easy way to make a blog post without visiting blogger.com. Once you add the BlogThis! link to your browser's toolbar, blogging will be a snap. Or rather, a click. Clicking BlogThis! creates a mini-interface to Blogger prepopulated with a link to the web page you are visiting, as well as any text you have highlighted on that page. Add additional text if you wish and then publish or post from within BlogThis!

There are two ways to use BlogThis!: if you use Windows and Internet Explorer, you can use BlogThis! from the SendTo feature of the Google Toolbar. If you're on another browser, just drag the link below to your browser's Link bar. Then, whenever the mood strikes, click BlogThis! to post to your blog:

BlogThis! <-- drag this link to your browser's Links bar"

Bibme

Bibme is a site for someone who wants to cite either a book, web resource, magazine etc. Bibme would be a perfect site for students who are trying to site resources for a paper. For the book I sited to the left, all I did was type in the author and the book. After finding the book, Bibme sited all the information for me. I think Bibme is a creative way for students to cite their resources in correct terms.

Blogger Gadgets allow access to many sites and labels. On my blog I have a few gadgets. I have a gadgets that is just for decorations which is a fish tank. My other gadget I have on my profile is the amazon mp3 clips. It plays about 30 seconds of music of my choice. At the bottom of my page a have a gadget that displays friendship quotes. I think the blogger gadgets are a cool tool and needs more exploring to be done.

Histats

Histats is a web site where you can get personal page counters. For our Social Media class, we have a histats page counter to see who visits our site each and everyday. The cool feature about Histats is that you can go into detail of where people are looking at your page from. For example, if Mrs. James wants to get to my page she might visit Emily's and then go to her class list and click onto my name. With Histats, it keeps track of how people view your page and how many people do each and every day.

Word Clouds

Word clouds are a cluster of words put together. There are different ways to make word clouds, If you want to have a word cloud about a wedsite all you have to do is copy and paste the url into the link like I did with the picture to the left. If you want to create your personal word cloud you can create one with words you put into the area where the words are suppose to be. If you repeat a word it will make it bigger than the rest of the text. I thought this was a cool new web tool. Visit some web sites for word clouds such as Wordle and Image Chef
