Tips & Tricks for Easy Blog Use

As discussed in our training session, being able to easily find and navigate this blog is a huge key to using it easily and successfully!

For easy reference, the first step is to create a bookmark button for the blog on your toolbar. To do this, click on the star/arrow button to the right of the Favorites button.

Once you're navigating within the blog, you'll find that clicking on a link replaces your current webpage, thus requiring lots of "back" button use and more often than not taking you far from where you started with no easy way to return. To combat this issue you have two options.

1) Use the toolbar button you just created to return to the blog's home page. You can also make buttons that link directly to the individual class resource pages.
2) Push "control" while selecting a link in order to open it in a new tab. This way when you're finished with the new site, you can close it and pick up just where you left off. This also allows you to have many sites open at one time for easy reference.
