#Challenge 2: Take a look at the Edublogs winning blogs for 2011

Took a look at the winning blogs and wikis for the annual Edublogs Awards for 2011. (By the way, to be nominated for the Edublogs Awards your blog can be part of any platform and not necessarily Edublogs).

I am embedding the winners below so that you can see the categories, but visit the actual Google Doc mentioned under a), or visit the Edublogs Awards site mentioned under b) so that you can actually visit the blogs. They are fantastic!



a) Their embedded Google Doc:

# Challenge 1: How to fit your YouTube video into your blog size

I have noticed that on some of the blogs the YouTube videos spread over to the side bar, so I am going to explain how to change that.

1. Open up YouTube and click on 'Share' and then 'Embed'

 2. Copy the embed code but when you have put it into your blog in the HTML part, change the width of '560' to '420'. Don't change anything else.

3. You'll see that it now fits in perfectly.
