Classmates -  As I come across new things, I will update this page. Anytime you want to do something and aren't sure how, check here first, if the answer isn't here, let me know & if I dont have the answer for you I will go to the Admin forums and see what I can find. Thanks, Vicky

If you would like the music player to play no matter where you are in the website. Just click on the "POP OUT PLAYER" button under the music player. This will open up another page with the player, you can go wherever you want and keep listening to all those hits from 1989!

If you would like to do a slide show of multiple pics, www.slide.com is a great site. Go there, upload all the pics you want to use (I think 25 per slide is max) make any changes to any features you want. When your done editing, click on save (get the code) it shows the MySpace code which is what you need. Just copy that code, then go into your edit profile screen and paste the code in Videos. Then you can add comments etc. If you have any questions, just drop me a line.

Would you like to put your video, or your favorite You Tube video on your Profile page? Here's how:

On You Tube, make sure your video is showing in the play box. Example: you want to put the Muppets Mahna Mahna video on your site (if you want to follow along, the web address is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTXyXuqfBLA&feature=related).

To the right of the video you'll see a gray box, and near the bottom of this box is the grayed word "Embed." And just below that a long horizontal white box that contains the code for the video. When this code is placed in the Video box on your Edit Profile page, the video player with your video will appear and classmates can view it from your page. Here are the steps to get the code on your page:

  1. With your mouse, left click once on the white window that contains the code. It should turn blue. (Alternatively, you can move your mouse across the box until all the code turns blue.)
  2. On your keyboard hold down the Control key (Ctrl) and click the letter C key. This copies the code.
  3. On your Edit Profile page, locate the box "Videos."
  4. Place your cursor inside the box and left click with your mouse.
  5. Now press the Control key and the letter V key on your keyboard. The Embed code will now appear in your box. The code should look like this:

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/QTXyXuqfBLA&hl=en&fs=1&color 1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name= "allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/QTXyXuqfBLA&hl=en&fs=1& color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x- shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height= "344"></embed></object>
  6. In your Video Description box just below, enter a name for your video or something about your video, like: "What's a Mahna Mahna? Who cares?" This will appear just below your video.
  7. Now click the Save button and go view your page.
  8. If you need help please email me.
