Instructions for Blogging Go to: http://bcuccmicah6-8.blogspot.com/ Anyone can read all the existing posts by clicking around. Anyone can comment on an existing post, by clicking on the “Comments” link at the bottom of the post. If there aren't any comments yet, the link says “no comments” - click on it to make the first comment. To make a new post, you have to have permission from Jeff to be an author. Email him at [email protected] and ask. To start using Blogger, simply sign in with your Google Account. (If you use Gmail, Google Groups, or orkut, you already have an account.) If you don't have a Google Account yet, you can create one by going to: https://accounts.google.com/SignUp?service=blogger Once you've signed in to Blogger, you'll see the page at this URL: http://www.blogger.com/home, and your dashboard with your list of blogs. If you haven't started any blogs yourself, and haven't been given permission to be an author on any, there won't be any. Here's what you need to do to post: Click on the “view blog” button to read other peoples' posts. Click the orange pencil icon to write a new post, and enter anything you want to share with the world. If you're looking directly at the Micah 6:8 blog (http://bcuccmicah6-8.blogspot.com/), there's a "new post" button at the upper right. Next, you'll see the Post Editor page. Start by giving your post a title (optional), then enter the post itself. When you're done, click the Preview button at the top to make sure it's ready to go, and then click the Publish button to publish your post. If you want to write the post in another program like Microsoft Word and then paste the text into a new blog post, be aware that this will cause problems because Blogger is a text editor itself, and will make lots of mistakes when it tries to interpret the pasted text, causing it to look differently from what you intended. So if you really want to write offline and paste into the “new post” window, use a plain text editor like Microsoft Notepad. You can find notepad by right clicking on the desktop and selecting “new text document”. After you've written what you want to say and pasted it into the blogger “new post” window, you can use the editing buttons on there to change the font and add stuff like hyperlinks and pictures. .

A Visualization on What's Changing Google Accounts Help
Google Accounts Help About the conversion: A visualization on what's changing Google offers different types of accounts to different types of users. Until recently, we offered two primary types of accounts that were completely separate services: Google Accounts Provide access to all Google products and services, such as Gmail, Blogger, Orkut, and Web History. Can be created with any email address, such as the email address you have with your organization, or with any webmail address (@yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, etc.). Signing up for Gmail automatically creates a Google Account with that address. Google Apps Accounts Issued and managed by and used with your @my-domain.com organization. Provide access to only Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sites, Groups, and Video. Before the transition Google Accounts Google Apps accounts Example accounts: [email protected] Example accounts: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Sample of products on Google Accounts: Only 6 products on Google Apps accounts: However, we recently transitioned Google Apps accounts so you can use your @my-domain.com address to access the same Google products and services that Google Accounts holders can. Your Google Apps Account is now a Google Account. Conflicting accounts If you've used other Google products outside of the ones you can access with your Google Apps account such as Picasa, Reader, or AdWords, you've already created a conflicting Google Account. If you used your Google Apps email address to sign up for and use those other Google services, you now have two Google Accounts, with the same address.

What Is Dart?
1 Dart in Action By Chris Buckett As a language on its own, Dart might be just another language, but when you take into account the whole Dart ecosystem, Dart represents an exciting prospect in the world of web development. In this green paper based on Dart in Action, author Chris Buckett explains how Dart, with its ability to either run natively or be converted to JavaScript and coupled with HTML5 is an ideal solution for building web applications that do not need external plugins to provide all the features. You may also be interested in… What is Dart? The quick answer to the question of what Dart is that it is an open-source structured programming language for creating complex browser based web applications. You can run applications created in Dart by either using a browser that directly supports Dart code, or by converting your Dart code to JavaScript (which happens seamlessly). It is class based, optionally typed, and single threaded (but supports multiple threads through a mechanism called isolates) and has a familiar syntax. In addition to running in browsers, you can also run Dart code on the server, hosted in the Dart virtual machine. The language itself is very similar to Java, C#, and JavaScript. One of the primary goals of the Dart developers is that the language seems familiar. This is a tiny dart script: main() { #A var d = “Dart”; #B String w = “World”; #C print(“Hello ${d} ${w}”); #D } #A Single entry point function main() executes when the script is fully loaded #B Optional typing (no type specified) #C Static typing (String type specified) #D Outputs “Hello Dart World” to the browser console or stdout This script can be embedded within <script type=“application/dart”> tags and run in the Dartium experimental browser, converted to JavaScript using the Frog tool and run in all modern browsers, or saved to a .dart file and run directly on the server using the dart virtual machine executable.

These have led to the development and evolution of Web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites (i.e. Facebook, MySpace), video sharing sites (i.e. YouTube), wikis, blogs, etc. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to any actual change in technical specifications, but rather to changes in the ways software developers and end- users utilize the Web. Web 2.0 is a catch-all term used to describe a variety of developments on the Web and a perceived shift in the way it is used. This shift can be characterized as the evolution of Web use from passive consumption of content to more active participation, creation and sharing. Web 2.0 Websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information.
