Gadgets and the Welcome

This is a test of the Gadget for "Text." If this is placed at the top of the blog, it should stay in that location. This is a good way to post your Welcome statement and have it stay in place instead of floating to the bottom of your list of posts. You may rearrange the location of these gadgets on your blog page.

Instructions follow:
Go to the Layout tab in your blog. Click on "Add a Gadget" in the box below your title. This opens a new window with a list of Gadget options. Scroll down to "Text" and click on it. When the "Configure Text" window opens fill in as desired. "Save" and check your results.

To change the look of this element once it is created, go to Layout-Fonts and Colors. Choose the element you wish to edit and then select the color or adjust the size up or down.

Note: To left align text, see the blog posting below.

This about an Ohio school Scroll down to the end of the page where it says Students connect with the International Space Station. If you read all the way through the article the sources / links are at the end. There are links to applications so that your school can try and be linked to the space station.
