Pick a Gadget, Any Gadget

This blog is so great, you get to choose what the layout is.  What does that mean?  You get to choose where stuff is laid out on your blog.  You can also add "gadgets" to make your blog your own.  Below is an example of a layout.
Remember:  anytime you have a dark gray bar on the left side of something, that means you have the ability to move it up or down.  

Gadgets:   used to enhance their personal web experiences, or the web experiences of visitors to their personal sites. Ex: subscribe to blog, page views,  translator, share to social media, etc.  There are over 1,000 gadgets you could add.  

Add, remove, edit gadgets on your blog. Click and drag to rearrange gadgets. To change columns and widths, use the Template Designer.

Above is an example of a layout.  It's actually of my classroom blog.  Check out my next post to see how to change the layout format.
