Docs!

Docs is a tool that Google has. It's such a great tool that allows one to create a Document, Form, Presentation, Drawings, Spreadsheets, and it allows one to create a folder to hold specific items. You can email your documents by attaching them to an email. You can upload your pictures from your computer to add to the drawing or document or presentation etc. This comes in handy if one is at home and needs to quickly make a presentation for school, work etc. I know that I will definitely be using this gadget a lot because at home I am not able to access programs like Word, and Paiges. Now I can use Google's application Docs. Try this its great! Click Here!

The Tool

 A New Presentation also allows you to choose a theme and back round.

Blog This!

BlogThis is a great tool!! Its such an easy shortcut. This tool allows one to click on a link that pops open a window that links the page that your currently on. You can blog about it and then it goes directly to the blog. A downer to this shortcut is that it doesn't allow you to upload a photo on that window. You can change it when you log back on to your original blog. This is a great easy and quick tool. Want to try it?

Histats

Histats is such a useful tool to use. This allows one to track their visitors on their blog. You can use this on any website! For an example of my Histats just scroll all the way to the bottom of my blog. It lets you see where the people who are visiting your blog are from. Here is an example of how it looks to see where the people are located.
Example:

Blogger Gadgets

Blogger Gadgets are so fun!!! They are little icons on the bottom of your blog that do different things. For instance I have a box that gives a countdown to how many days to my birthday. I also have an icon that gives me wisdom and humor quotes. There are so many different types of gadgets out there. You can have the news, pictures of the day, pictures of famous people, and a counter that lets you see how many people have visited your blog that day. I also have a gadget that is connected to my gmail. There is one gadget that allows you to know when you get a notification on Facebook. These gadgets are so handy and very fun to use on your blog.

Stats

Stats is a very interesting and exciting gadget. This gadget allows you to look at who all views your blog, or visits your page. You can see when the visited it like the month, year, or even day. Currently I have 20 people from the US who have visited my blog. I think this a such a great way to see who visits your blog and where they are from. People all over the country could visit it! Can you say awesome?!:)

Word Clouds

Word Clouds are so very cool. This is a tool that allows you to type in a bunch of words, a poem, a list, etc. When you type all of this in then it will rearrange it and show you which of the words you used the most. It is really fun, and very eduactional. On Tagxedo it allows you to put your choice of words in and then it rearranges them and can form a picture. It is really awesome! This allows you to learn and have fun while using it! My favorite one is Image Chef because you can add pictures and shapes and its quick and easy! Check some of these websites out: Wordle. Tagul, Image Chef. Now go have fun!
Here is an example of Tagxedo that I made:
