Editor's Notes
- #33 Create three folders; change color on two; show rich text editor and features of folder, add pics under folders
- #34 Hack for webpage embedding (if you get a blank page)--works well sometimes: 1. Use "Materials" to create a "Page." 2. Switch to HTML on the far right top. 3. Paste the following code: <iframe src="INSERT YOUR URL HERE" height='800px' width='750px'></iframe> Then, insert the page address where it says "insert your url here" above. You can adjust the height and width of the frame by changing the values of the "px" above.
