I love the idea of adding other blogs into our own site. I added the plugin and played around with adding a few edtech sites. I went to fast (and didn’t follow along with the video — I ended up getting all these extra categories. I think they must have been created between the time… Read more »

I could spend all day selecting and modifying a theme! Response
I got so involved in my back to school activities, I missed Week 7!! Better late then never. I installed and played around with a few themes. I am not sure what I will finally settle on. Domain camp has given me some ideas on how I might structure my online presence but I am… Read more »
Plugins Oh My! Response
There seems to be a plug in for everything! I tried Askinet an JetPack and unfortunately, both seemed to have only a paid version. So I decided to have some fun and try the Instagram Feed by 10web. It was easy to upload and install. Once I figured out it created a page for me,… Read more »
Menus & Themes Response

Adding YOURLS to my domain Response
I think the coolest part of having your own URL shortener is that you are always using your own domain as part of the URL. Even though you might be going to an outside site, the link you give ties to your URL. Adding a bookmarklet to the bookmarks bar makes it easy an quick… Read more »
My site is secure! Response
The “Let’s Encrypt™ SSL” page was pretty easy to use. Even editing the .htaccess file was easy. However, in my directory, I already had that file. I am guessing it was because it’s a WordPress site? I renamed the original and created a new file based on the directions. It worked perfectly. I created a… Read more »
