iGoogle

On my iGoogle homepage I added my horoscope, so I can check it anytime I get on really quick. I also added a countdown to my birthday gadget because I am super excited!:) I have tetris on my phone and I am addicted to it, so I added that game to my iGoogle also!

I also tried out the SketchFu tool and I think it is very fun and creative! I would use this tool a lot, just because I have a lot of fun doing it. When you start a new page all you do is draw whatever you want and you can replay the slide and see the exact way you drew it. You will need to set up an account but I really think everyone should GIVE IT A TRY!:)



This is what I drew!
The Flip Book tool was kind of difficult to get going for me, the page was confusing and there was a lot of ads. If you know what you're doing the site is actually pretty fun once you get going! I put together 3 pictures and made a slow slide show of those three photos I used, the site lets you put up to ten slides. If you would like to try it out CLICK HERE :)

Symbaloo.

Symbaloo is a great site to use when you just want to get to places you've already been to, quicker. It is basically a Social Bookmarking site that hold every site (If you remember to bookmark it) you go to. Try making your own Symbaloo account here.

Gadgets!

As I was looking through the gadgets I found really cool ones, like my horoscope, a calendar, and my favorite one where you can feed the fish. I added my horoscope and the fish feeding one because I felt like those are the ones I will have the most fun with and the ones I will use the most often.
By adding a gadget to your blog it makes your blog look more put together and creative than if you just have posts on it. Some of the gadgets keep you up to date on news, weather, just about anything you can think of. Some are very useful.
You can add a gadget to you blog by clicking the 'design' tab in the upper right hand corner, then when you're on your page layout click anywhere that says 'Add a Gadget', when that page opens at the top left there are about 4 tabs that have to do with gadgets. Choose anyone that you feel would help you or fascinate you, when you find one click the 'add(+)' button on the side and save it! (:
