Creation of my Sidebar

If you look to the right you will notice that there is a feed with technology news that I customized for my blog so that it feeds in stories that are tagged with the three search terms ' education, technology and teaching.' This was incredibly easy, because it's an widget that goes out and searches the stories and feeds them into that space. The particular widget is called Newsreel and it's both stable and user friendly. Blogger makes it exceptionally easy to add widgets in if you go to Design on your blog, then look on the menu on the left for Layout. Then you have the option to add in all kinds of widgets in preset locations based on your template. These little touches can really make your blog look tailored and crafted, even within a free template.
