Goats on the Roof

Have you ever been to Vancouver Island? There is a market north of Nanaimo called the Coombs Old Country Market. It has fabulous ice cream, but the most unique feature of the market are the goats living on the roof. They live there during the summer, and eat grass and occasionally tree branches. If you ever drive to Tofino, you should stop and check it out! It's a great place to take pictures. You might even try some of their famous ice cream or cheese bread. 

How do I add a link to my blog?

Adding a link to your blog is a great idea if you want to share the location of a web site with friends.

1. Go to the web site and copy the url.

2. Go to your post. Highlight the text (words) that you want to turn into a link. 

3. Click the image of the world with the black and white oval above it.

4. Paste the url into the blank and click "okay."

How do I add a picture to my blog?

Good question!

1. Click "create a new post."

2. Click on the small image of the mountain and sky.

3. Click "choose file" and follow the steps as you would for an email attachment.

4. Choose a layout (centre works well).

5. Choose a size (medium works well).

6. Agree to the terms and services.

7. Click "upload image."

Note: It should be a picture that you took yourself. If it isn't, make sure that you took the picture from one of the sites that Blogger recommends.
