My thoughts of the "hat tip"

For me a "hat tip" means giving credit to where it's due. Such as when you borrow an idea or an image from someone else, you would want to make sure that person received credit  and you didn't claim the idea or image as your own. It something or someone you want to give credit to for influencing or encouraging you. I could give a "hat tip" to my daughter's unfinished baby blanket as inspiration for creating this blog.

Unit 6 Microblog Tip( adding images to your blog)

Adding an image to your microblog gives you a chance to market your work and connect to your audience. I can use images on this blog to show my audience things that I have created by crocheting and possibly use these images to expand my audience and sell items that I make. You can add images to your page by clicking the insert image icon that is located on the toolbar above where you type text when creating a new blog for your page.
