You can even add video!

So, now we know we can add text, links, and pictures. The last piece of this blogging puzzle is to add video. To add video, we simply click the video button at the top of the posting page.

You can add pictures!


Pictures are a great way of showing information on a blog and help people understand what you're talking about.

To add a picture simply click the picture button above where you are writing the post and then add it from your file.

You can add links to other websites!

If you find some helpful information or a great article from a magazine or newspaper or other source, you can add a link into your blog post too.

A link is a bit of text that leads you to another website from this one. It's helpful if there's too much information to write in your blog, or if there's something you can't show them here, like a game.

Example: http://www.eere.energy.gov/kids/
