Monday Blogpost

For Monday, the assignment is quite simple - find the best three websites you can on Ancient Greece. Provide links to these on your blog and a short explanation (2-3 sentences) of what you like about each. Be picky! Don't just use the first three websites that you find; look through at least ten before selecting your three.

One catch - all of the websites linked on your group blog must be different. In other words, if someone else posts in your group before you do, you can't use any of the websites that they do. Also, I would prefer that you not use online encyclopedias. Yes, wikipedia is cool. Find something else.

You can either copy the url for each website into your blogpost, or you can make a link. Making a link in blogger is easy. For example, let's say that I wanted to link to a website focused on Ancient Egypt. My blogpost might start, "My first choice was the British Library's Ancient Egypt site." Next, I would highlight the text that I want to be my link - I would probably select "British Library's Ancient Egypt." After highlighting, I would then look to the toolbar just above the textbox where I type my blogpost. In that toolbar, you'll see a lot of buttons. Starting from the left, there is a Font box, then Text Size icon, then Bold, then Italics, then Text Color. Then, you'll see what looks a little like a globe with a chain link on top of it. Click this. It will ask you for a url - paste the url for your website here.

Once complete, it will look like this: "My first choice was the British Library's Ancient Egypt site."
