Key Commands

Some of the key commands we've been using in class:

Command(also known as the Apple-key) and tab --> Switch applications

Shift and Command and '4' --> Make a selective screen grab

Command and the 'tilde' key (left of number 1) --> Switch between open windows within an application

There are lots of resources on-line that go over key command, but here's a good one that I recommend checking out: http://www.danrodney.com/mac/index.html

In particular, look at the sections 'Application Switcher' and 'Taking Screenshots'

Effective blogging tips

Along the lines of one of my closing points from last Wednesday's class, please read this post "Nine Signs of an Effective Blog Post" on problogger.net. This site seems geared towards showcasing how to make money blogging (which I'm somewhat skeptical about), but I thought this post offered some good tips.

After reading that, consider editing your existing assignments to be more effective!
