Technology Tips: Subscribe to your Blogger.com blog

To complete this tip, you need to be using Google Reader OR you need to be using iGoogle (there are Tech Tips for each of those). You also need to have created a Blogger.com blog and added a Subscriber gadget.

Take a screenshot (here are the instructions for taking a screenshot) and send that to me in the email. Make sure you use this subject line for the email: TechTip Blogger / iGoogle.  (if you subscribed using iGoogle) or TechTip Blogger / Google Reader (if you subscribed using Google Reader).

When you have sent in the email, you can do the Gradebook Declaration for Extra Credit. Here is the text of the Gradebook Declaration you will complete:
