Adding a link

Delighted that the Camel event went so well - so good to have a lot of positive feedback and even better to have new blog contributors.

One query this morning about inserting a link, like this, where the long, http www and all of that is hidden behind the words you want to use. Here's how:

Get the url of the website you want to link to and copy to your clipboard

Highlight the words you want to use as the link

Click on the green circle/chain link icon on the toolbar - it appears in between the font T and the left-align buttons.

Paste the url into the pop up box and save.

Voila!

For a better, illustrated explanation, go here

Hope that helps!

Hello

I know we have a lot of new readers as a result of all the core training events recently so I thought I'd say "hi" and encourage you to leave a comment when you visit.

Perhaps it's not clear how to do that - so I'll explain!

At the bottom of every post there's details of who posted it and when. On the right hand side there's a little graphic of a speech bubble and "2 comments" (or however many have been left previously).

Click on the word "comments" and a box will open up for you to type something in. You'll have to complete a bit of word recognition, which is there to protect us from automatic posting systems and you can choose to remain anonymous if you prefer.

We'd love to hear from you, wherever you are, so please, leave a comment!

Experimental 20 weeker

I have been asked by Jane CD to start a blog with respect to my Gypsy/Travellers evening class. A short precis of the story so far.... we started with a 10 week course doing a different elements of the acredited CLAIT course (some more than others - at their own speed). One class of men and another class of women. The men did very well but unfortunately had to leave for work committments. The class of ladies continued and ran over into a new 20 week course, so that they could complete the CLAIT modules and start a more exciting project using other elements of IT and interactive learning. My ladies preferred gaining a qualification for future CV useage rather than doing a "project".

I now have a mixture of experience in the class now, one complete beginner, one enthusiastic first time claiter and one student who has completed the whole CLAIT qual.

For the rest of the term we are going to "have a go at...." MS-Publisher to enable the creation of advertising posters (always useful) leaflets, flyers and possibly a newsletter. We are also going to have a visit from a local Museum that has resources giving some gypsy local history and (yes there is going to be more!) have a go at making short videos via Movie Maker. So any tips out there very welcome! not having used movie maker before myself. I will keep you posted!!
