How to embed a link in Blogger

Congratulations Bloggers!

I know that it was overwhelming to be thrown into the world of blogging by creating and maintaining your own blog on Children's Literature. I also know that it will be a rewarding experience for you.

I just finished reading all of your blog posts and I have to say that I am very impressed with all of your first attempts at blogging.  I am proud of all of you!  Your blogs were graphically appealing and for the most part were quite well written.  I enjoyed reading all of them.

Some pointers for future posts:

• Inject more of your personal voice into your writing:  Your readers want to hear you, not robotic facts and figures
• Write less of a summary:  Try not to think of your blog as a book report.  Think about your personal connections to the text and talk about that (text-to-self; text-to-text; text-to-world)

Overall, you all did a great job and should really be very proud of yourselves.  Continue to look at your classmates' blogs as well.  Learn from each other.
