Wimalling(Winter,summer,fall,and spring)

Seasons are all different. For instance, theres winter which is cold. Fall which is breezy and chilly. Spring is when the flowers bloom which is rainy and summer is SUPER hot. But why is this? We have these beautiful seasons because the earths axis is tilted as it revolves around the sun. Without these seasons, what do you think the world would be like?

Perspective Paragraph

The book Zoom by Istvan Banyai is a perspective test for your mind and eyes. This book was a book that was focused on one tiny zoomed picture then when zoomed out it becomes different things such as, magazines or brochures. "Seeing depends on knowledge and knowledge, of course on your college. But when you are erudite and wise, what matters is, to use your eyes." by Ernst Bombrich. This quote states that knowledge is very important in many ways. Perspective is the science of painting and drawing so that objects represented have apparent depth and distance.
Have you ever thought you were looking at something right but it was really wrong? Well, many people do it all the time without even knowing it. An example of this would be like if your looking at a hill from far away and then the closer you got it turned into a mountain. Sometimes when i see something wrong i try to blur my vision and fix it. Like the example of the hill and the mountain, i blurred the picture in my mind and fixed it.
Many people might be interested in this data because many people use perspective everyday. Perspective is used in many wasy because when you expect something it might not be what you expected. Especially, in Astronomy! Astronomy uses perspective to point out many different groups of stars. Like the way someone pointed out the leo or the dippers. They used their perspective to group things together to make one picture!

How to add music

The Quick Answer
Choose whether to embed audio/music from a third-party site or to host your own (podcast).
To podcast, choose a host to store your audio files, then enable 'Link Fields' in your Settings Formatting tab.
Use the link field to enclose audio files in your posts.
If you'd like to put music or audio on your blog, there are many options available to you. First you'll have to decide whether you want to host your own audio files or merely embed them from an existing third-party site.
Embedding music/audio from third-party sites
If you'd like to embed a playlist or functionality from a third-party music service such as Last.fm or Imeem, Blogger's layouts feature makes it easy.
Visit your Template Page Elements tab.
Create a new widget by clicking "Add a Page Element."
Choose the "HTML/Javascript" widget.
Enter the HTML code provided by your third-party music service into the content window and click "Save Changes."
If you can't find the necessary code, you may have to contact your third-party music service. Feel free to position the page element wherever you'd like.
There are plenty of services to share and embed music available on the web. Here's a list of a few to get you started. Please keep in mind that these services aren't affiliated with Blogger, but we've heard good things about them.
Last.fm
Seeqpod
Imeem
IODA Promonet
Hypster
Streampad
Splashcast
Project Playlist
FineTune
MyFlashFetish
Podcasting
If you'd like a way to distribute ongoing recordings of your own, you may be interested in using your existing Blogger feed to create a podcast. Podcasts can be used for a variety of purposes, such as syndicating your own weekly internet talk show or mixtapes. They work by using your blog's existing feed to link to audio files you have hosted on the web. RSS Readers (such as Google Reader or Bloglines) then interpret your links as embedded audio files and provide an interface to play them. Note that your audio files will still be available directly on the blog, too. To get started, you'll need a place online to store your recordings. Blogger doesn't offer hosting services for audio files at this time; however, there are plenty of providers of online storage space that offer both paid and free hosting services, such as Box.net, MoveDigital, DreamHost, and BlueHost. Once you've uploaded your files to your web host of choice, you'll need to enable enclosure links to link to the file from within a Blogger post. To do so, just go to your Settings Formatting tab and set the "Show Link fields" option to "Yes." This will add the enclosure link fields to your post editor. When composing a post, you'll then see a field for your enclosures. From there, just enter the URLs of your audio files, and your blog will instantly become a podcast. When viewed with most RSS readers or podcatchers (such as Google Reader, iTunes, or Bloglines), your recordings will appear as embedded music players. It's that easy!
If you'd like to further customize your podcast, you may be interested in checking out FeedBurner. By processing and optimizing your existing Blogger feed, FeedBurner not only offers extensive podcasting options but also the ability to customize, optimize, and monetize your feed and to track the number of listeners subscribed to your podcast.
