The Hermit Crab Association is sponsoring a photo contest, the theme this month is crabbie acrobatics. There is even a fabulous prize donated by Naples Sea Shell Company! Thank you Frank and Naples!

If you need some tips on photographing your crabs, view this tutorial I wrote.

I have noticed that a lot of folks have created Blogger Crab Blogs. That’s so cool! If you don’t already have a crab blog, you can get the step-by-step instructions for creating a blog here (it’s free!)

I have noticed that many of the blogs I have visited still have the Edit Me links in the side bar instead of links to other sites. I thought I would write some short instructions on how to edit Blogger links.

1. Log into your Blogger account and click your blog name to edit it
2. Click the Template tab - The code that is used to create your blog will display
3. Scroll down through the code until you see a section that looks like this:



4. You need to edit the the http: address first. Highlight the address starting just after the first / (the word help) and then type the web site address you want to link to. You want to be sure that you don’t delete the quotation marks around the address.
5. Highlight the words Edit-Me and type the name of the web site you want to link to.
6. Your final link should look something like this:



7. Click Save Template Changes at the bottom of the page and then click the Republish button

If you want to add more links, copy the last link from the < li> through the < /li> and press CTRL+C to copy the code. Move your cursor to the just after the last < /li> in the link section and press enter. Press CTRL+V to paste the link. You can then edit the duplicated link.

I just updated my Tips for Photographing Your Hermit Crabs and Crabitats. I added two new sections: Location, Location, Location and Composition and the Rule of Thirds. I hope to add more tips as time permits.
