Added to this newly arranged blog design are a spelling generated image added under the blog site header and a heading generator image added to this post. Both were very easy to create by just clicking on the websites listed in the 23 Things, Thing 13 and following the instructions given at the website. The hardest part was deciding on the design I wanted to use. I then copied the html code provided at each site. The spelling generator was easily added by going to the Blog Design tab and adding a gadget, pasting the html code from the website, and applying it to the blog. Of course, like any good blogger, I had to rearrange the whole page first. Kind of like adding a new piece of furniture to a room in your house - it calls for rethinking the layout of what is in the room already. (This rearrangement also corrected the over sized slide show that I put in Thing #12 post.) The html for the heading generated image was added to this particular post rather than the layout. I cannot believe I am using all of this web speak, if that is a word. I can actually hold discussions with my teenagers about web stuff instead of just asking them to set up this or that or fix this for me. In the educational setting generators can be used to spruce up a wiki or a blog. I think students would also love to be able to use these generators to add to their web-based projects or web pages. Although, it would have to be carefully monitored to prevent use of inappropriate items, images or photos. I need to find a blog or website that discusses that . . . .
