SAMSUNG1/BLOGGER4 - The BLOGGER App

I've downloaded the free version of the Blogger mobile app onto my Samsung S3 from Google Play. This is a form of convergence, the technologies of computers and smartphones coming together so that I can work. 
However, the smartphone has several limitations due to the smaller screen, I can only edit drafts on this free version, I can't publish posts.

BLOGGER1: Initial Adjustments

TEMPLATE, NAME & URL:
Name: Clockwork Lemon and Cosmic Heat Productions
URL:  

BACKGROUND IMAGES:
Issue with copyrighted images. I am going to use the image of coffee and a camera.

WIDTH:
At the moment keeping it ag the same size as Evie because we might work together and share posts, so that makes copying and pasting easier.

FONT/SIZE/COLOUR:
For normal text I use normal size, for Main Titles Largest and Minor Titles Large.
Use Italic for fictional titles (This Is England)
I don't like the default font, I much prefer Arial.
Terminology I will mark in pink and bold.
Trebuchet I will use for quotes and make them purple.

EMBEDDING:
embedding image and using caption tool, embedding video (including where you get the embed code from), embedding links and anything else so far) 

Needed to change the settings from "Show HTML literally" to "Interpret typed HTML"





I got a lot of help from this post: DB Blog Post for setting up new posts.
