How to add a Voki to your blog

After a previous blog about trying to add a Voki to my blog, Sharon suggested I write instructions about this for others.

First go to http://www.voki.com/ 

 

Next, create an account by filling in the box in the top right corner.

  
After you have set up an account, log in and you will be taken to the home page. 
Along the top of the page there is a button which says 'Create'.

  
A Voki will appear on the page with 'Customize your character' buttons next to it. 
Change your character's appearance and give it a voice by using these buttons.

  
When you have finished creating the Voki, click 'Publish'.


  Name your Voki in the box provided and press 'Save'.


Once the Voki is saved, there will be a box containing a HTML code under the title 'For Most Sites Use This Code'. 
Highlight and copy this code. Go to your blog homepage. In the top right corner next to the 'New Post' button, there is a 'Design' button. 
Click the 'Design' button and you will be taken to a page with a layout of your blog.



At the right hand side of the page above the boxes 'Followers', 'Blog Archive' and, 'About Me' there is a button which says 'Add Gadget' Click this button.


A box will then pop up with options, scroll down until you find the button for 'HTML/Javascript'.


When you click this another box will appear.  In this box, name your Voki and paste the HTML code into the 'content' box.

  
Press save and view blog!

    Building on my learning

    Today Sharon showed us how to upload a video onto my blog rather than just uploading the link.
    I'm testing this skill by uploading the YouTube video I posted the link to yesterday.

    My Voki

    Whilst being shown examples of post-grad blogs in our first workshop, I saw one of them had uploaded a Voki onto their page. Taking Collette's advice to protect my identity I decided I wanted a Voki version of myself for my own blog.
    During the time setting up my blog I made a Voki and tried pasting the HTML code into various areas on the blog. Each time it failed to upload so I used the internet to find instructions.
    There I found a link to a YouTube viedo posted by school children about how to add my Voki! This was a great help and proof that ICT in schools can work very well!
    Here is the link;
