Tech Tip: Site Clean-Up

For this tech-tip I just went back through my site to make sure all of the comment boxes and search boxes were removed. I also removed one of the tabs in the navigation that took you back to my homepage since it was redundant. You can click on the title if you want to return to the home page. I also made some other changes to my site such as the background, etc. Check it out below!

Tech Tip: Site Navigation

I decided to change the navigation on my storybook site. I didn't like the way it looked on the side, so I switched from vertical to horizontal navigation. I also changed the links from boxes to tabs. I think it just makes it look a little softer and not so template-like. Below is a link, go check out all of the changes I've made.

Tech Tip: Editing Pins

Just added a twitter widget to my sidebar. I chose my twitter timeline because I don't have any lists yet, and there's more content on my actual timeline rather than my favorites. It's pretty cool that you can embed your twitter account right into your blog!

Tech Tip: Sidebar Box

Just added another sidebar box to my blog. I'll be adding my twitter to it soon.

Tech Tip: Twitter Follow

A new account I chose to follow is @TheOklahoma100. The Oklahoma 100 is a new newsletter that goes out every other week. Also, my friend, a recent OU graduate, is the editor. It includes 100 second videos, and 100 word articles over topics of interest around Oklahoma. If you're looking for intriguing stories throughout the state, go give them a follow or subscribe to the newsletter!

Tech Tip: First Tweet

For this tech tip I used my personal twitter account that I already had set up. I don't use twitter very much honestly. The only thing I use it for is to see what's trending, and to keep up with some of my favorite celebrities every now and then. Let's be honest, no one really cares that much about what I'm doing on a daily basis. I think it's a waste of time for me to tweet any and every thing that happens in my everyday life, but that's my opinion. If that makes you happy, more power to you.

Tech Tip: Weather Widget

When flying weather is very important. I'm constantly checking the weather on many different sites so I decided to add the weather widget to my blog as well. It's really simple to add, just click here for instructions and add it to your blog!

Tech Tip: Theme

The theme I chose for my storybook is "notebook". I think it's fitting since my storybook is about school. I might end up changing it later, but I think this one fits for now.

Tech Tip: Google Site Title

On my storybook site I decided to suppress the sitemap link and the search box. I think it looks better without them, so it's not so cluttered. I also suppressed the page title on the first page because I didn't really see the need for one. I left the site title to the left because it didn't look good when I centered it.

Tech Tip: Website

Here is my newly created storybook website. My storybook is going to be a over a flight university where all mythological creatures come to learn about their abilities and how to manage them.
