Translation Gadget and a Text Gadget by Marion Peña

    Today I added two gadgets to our blog. I really wanted to also add the Radio gadget but the website provided, Radiotuna.com, said it was "sleeping" and so I was not able to access that unfortunately.

    I chose to add the "Translate Gadget" to our blog. Having grown up speaking multiple languages I recognize how important it is to be able to offer some form of "translation" of our blog posts. In offering the translation gadget you can broaden your reach and increase your followers as you are opening the doors for people who speak a different language to also have the opportunity to follow your blog.

    The other gadget I chose was a "Text Gadget". In her I simply posted a "welcome message" with contact information for is the follower would like for us as blog administrators to cover a certain topic, we can look into that.

    For the Radio Gadget I would have liked to include, I would have chosen classical background music as I always find that relaxing to have playing in any kind of setting. It gives the follower a sense of "calmness" and "enjoyment" while browsing and reading our blog. As I mentioned I was not able to add it due to the site being offline at the time I tried to access it.

    Gadgets are such a great addition to add to your blog. I learned something new again today! Hope you did too!
