We do love the bricks

Day three in the jungle, the jungle of making a blog post that is. Since we will probably be using Google Slide, I tried to create and upload a very simple one. Making the slide was not difficult. I followed the instructions on the Coplac Digital website to publish my one page slide show. Then I tried to link it on my blog. Attempt one was unsuccessful, I was left with only a link and no image. So this is attempt two. I know enough about websites to know that I have the code from google for my slide I should be able to insert it into the code of my blog and have the slide visible. Will it work? Let’s see.

Success! (Rewards self with candy, calls parents, writes acceptance speech for my Nobel Prize). Anyway, back to work, I should probably explain what I just did and why. After publishing my slide, inserting the links to it into the normal blog post text box did not transform the links into images. Some preliminary internet research revealed I should switch to the “text” editing for my blog post. I can not explain why that worked but it did. I created this slide because it shows part of an article from Montevallo’s newspaper. “Fashion on the Bricks” is a regular feature in the paper and Emma and I plan to use to contrast 80’s and modern day fashion at Montevallo. Why is it called fashion on the bricks? Because our entire campus is made of bricks, literally. A rite of passage here is the first time you fall on the brick walkways across campus. But the bricks have been here forever, and I’m not sure what we would do without them.
