A few tips to enhancing your blogs :)


I have just a few reminders for everyone before they submit their final blog posts!

1. Please include only 1 post!  If you have more than one please copy the information into one post and delete the others.

2. Make sure you have named your post in the following format: Chemical Name-Last Name

3. Please make sure to include your reference list in APA format, not just a list of websites.  Remember to   use citationmachine as a reference to help with this.  http://www.citationmachine.net/

SAMPLE REFERENCE LIST:

4. Please use referencing not only at the bottom of your post, but also throughout.  For example if you have a a few sentences from one source, at the end of the sentences you will include (author, year).  Please use this throughout your blog to show where all the information comes from.  Citation machine can also assist you with what to include in the brackets.

5. Add pictures and colour!

6. Make sure to have links to related articles and videoclips.  I have copied instructions below for how to imbed your videoclip rather than just supplying the link.  Please feel free to do this.

  • How do I post a video to my blog from YouTube?
    • To embed a video from YouTube, just copy the code from the "Embed" box on the video's YouTube page. You can find the "Embed" box in the "About This Video" box when you're watching the video. You can also get the code from the "Embed HTML" box on the "Edit Video" page if the video belongs to your YouTube account.To embed a YouTube video within a blog post, first click "Edit HTML" from within the post editor. Next, paste the video's code into the body of your post. That's it!

  1. For the chemical rankings, do we do five plus our own or five including our own?
