After Act 5 (English 30)

Respond to one of the following:
  1. Do you think Rosencrantz and Guildenstern deserved to be put to death? What alternatives might Hamlet have taken? Examine Hamlet's reasoning and consider whether you think Hamlet was seeking justice or revenge?
  2. Why does Horatio tell Hamlet he will lose the contest? Why is Horatio correct?
  3. Throughout most of the play Hamlet has seemed unwilling to do what he knows he must do. Is it only in the final scene that Hamlet seems fully willing to accept his destiny?

Audio Posts (But not quite podcasts, yet)

Or rather, Audio in Posts. They're not iTunesey podcasts, yet, but they're simple enough. Your mp3 file must be less than 2MB and uploaded to your blog in the normal way. Go find the menu in Dashboard-->Options-->Audio Player. Read the check boxes, the third check box will automagically change your mp3 links in your posts to embedded flash players. Easy-peezy. Look at wmcauley's mp3 links.

Flickr Plugin works, again.

Flickr changed how you access your images in early September. So I've updated the plugin. You'll need to have an "API Key" and a "Shared Secret", now. It is a good idea to put images on Flickr instead, or in addition to, stj servers. Flickr badges are cool, too. Do not activate the Flickr plugin if you don't have a Flickr account. You lose the ability to browse your blog's upload folder while Flickr plugin is active, I still don't know the fix. Look here, see if you can find a fix, too.

Style Your Blog

Before you go further, choose a theme that has a "Theme Editor" (variously titled such as "Theme Options", "Edit Styles"). Choose a theme that allows you to change the header image AND the font colours(StripedPlus isn't only one, is it?). Step One: Title your blog.(do not use your name) Step Two: Write your own one sentence blog description. Step Three: Get an image from www.freefoto.com. Step Four: Use Photoshop to put all layers together. Export the image, keep it less than 20k.

Ten Minute Spill

Write a ten-line poem. Find a proverb, adage, familiar phrase, or brainy quote that you have changed in some way as well as five of the following words: cliff, blackberry, needle, cloud, voice, mother, whir, lick. You have ten minutes. No rhyming. P.S. We will be practising poetry posting permanently. Please create categories in your sidebars to begin sorting it all into manageable hierarchies. (Dashboard=>Manage=> Links=>Link Categories).
