If you work with Flash, you can create flash animations that are called swf files. As you can see, swf files can be embedded into your blog.

If you are new to the eeblogs, be aware that you are going to have to do some things differently. It's not quite the same as the discussion board. For example,inserting images and hyperlinks requires you to paste the link in a little pop up box. Click img or link before you paste. There are some other differences too. If you have real serious questions, post them here, or check out the b2evolution tab up at the top of this window.

We have a new rating system. Every time you read a post you can give it a rank of 1 to 5, 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. This feedback loop should let us know how well our posts are going over with everyone else. A ranking of the top five posts on your blog will appear in the sidebar.

In order to use this feature, you have to check the star rating box in the lower right when you post a new message.

I was unable to set up three of the skins for this feature, so if you want to make use of it on your blog, stay away from "evopress," "dark contrast," and "evocamp."

There's a YouTube video right below these comments, but it is almost certainly blocked in school. Watch it outside of school if you get the chance. It's only a couple of minutes long, and it does a good job of describing 21st century research.
