This post was originally published last year as 10 Blogging Tips for Students and Teachers.

As I regularly help students and other teachers set up their blogs, I find myself giving lots of little tips that I have picked up on my own blogging journey.

My list of tips keeps expanding and I thought it was timely to republish an updated version of this post.

Many of these ideas have originally come from some of my blogging “mentors” such as Linda Yollis and Sue Waters.

1. Open websites in a New Page: Rather than just tap the link, press and hold it until you see an option to Open in New Page, choose and Safari will open a new window.

2.  Manage Open Pages in Safari: To manage the pages you have open or to return to a previously visited site, look at the browser window bar and find the icon that looks like two overlapping boxes.  Clicking on the icon opens a screen that shows you all the pages you have recently opened. Tap any of the X buttons to close website.

3. Turn on AutoFill in Safari: First make sure all your details are saved in Contacts, choose Settings, then choose Safari, click AutoFill and set both options to On and select your file from Contacts in the My Info field.

4. Make Use of the Home Button: The iPad’s Home button will take you to your homepage (first screen) if pressed once, but it has more functions. To set the other functions, go to Settings, press General, then choose Home. Select which function you’d like a double press of the button to be; open Spotlight Search or access iPod. From this area of Settings you can also set iPod Controls to On, which will mean when you have music playing and you’re in another program or app, a double press of the Home button will bring up the basic music controls.

5. Add a Website Shortcut to Your Home Screen: Open the website you need a shortcut for, tap the + sign at the top of the page and select Add to Home Screen. This will then create a shortcut icon with one-click access to your most-used sites.  Looks like an app, but in reality a shortcut to the website.

6. Change how you turn pages in iBooks: The iBooks app’s swipe-to-turn the page function is really nice, but….as shortcut is to tap the left margin top turn. Open Settings, then under the AppsApps section, press iBooks, then Tap Left Margin and make sure Next Page is checked, which will change it from the default option — the previous page.

7. A Space Bar Trick: Not sure this is very useful, but interesting none-the-less. The spacebar will create as many spaces as there are fingers on it, so one finger will produce one space, two fingers two spaces and three fingers, three spaces.

9. Download the iPad User Guide eBook: Yes, you can download the official Apple iPad User Guide as an eBook? It is a Safari pre-loaded bookmark, but you have to have internet access to use the Safari bookmarked version. For offline access to the guide, just download it free from the iBooks store. Search for iPad. It is very handy.
