How to Add Bicyclist Luke Kocher's Blog to Your Google Site


Maple Lake Elementary was fortunate to have guest speakers Mary Lou Nygaard and Luke Kocher at our first Irish Pride Celebration last Friday.  Luke helped students to understand the word "stamina".  He was a great person to speak about it since he recently completed the Trans American Bike Race across the continental US. That takes a lot of endurance and stamina to keep going! 


Here is how you can add information about this to your Google Site for your students to explore.

Go to the page on your Google Site where you want to post about Luke.  Click the edit button.


Put your cursor in the place where you want Luke's information to appear.


Type a short message explaining who Luke is and why he came to our school.  Then copy and paste Luke's blog address onto the end of your message.  https://cyclingalifelongjourney.wordpress.com/


You can now click save and it will be published on your site.


If you would like to add pictures as well, you can grab them here.  Download them to your computer and save them to the desktop (or somewhere else where you can find them).

To add the pictures to your Google Site, follow the same first two steps (click the edit button and put your cursor where you want the picture).  

Next, click "Insert" in the upper left corner of the screen.


Choose "Image"


Click "Upload Images".


Find the image on your computer (wherever you saved it) and select it.  Click "Open".


Select your picture again - it will have a blue outline.  Click "OK".


Click on the picture and use the editing buttons to center the picture and make it smaller.  Size small or medium are usually appropriate.

To add a caption, put your cursor under the picture and type.




Click save.


Now the picture is on your web site!  Make sure to tell your students and parents to look on the site for your new added content.
