Hello! I just stumbled upon your blog following a link from another blog and I must say your abpout pag is awesome. I tried making one like that with Canva and Thnglink but I can’t figure out how you put the social media buttons with links (on the left side), when I export image from canva as png, all the links on it disappear. If I download it as pdf I can’t add the links with thinglink. I figured out how to tag with thingling but it puts these icons on links. How did you do the twitter, facebook etc buttons with links? Did you use the paid solution or is there a trick?

Hi Leona,
Thanks for dropping by. I am so sorry for being late to respond. To do yours, follow the steps below:
First, create an image using Canva. Once you finish, kindly export it as png.
Second, upload this image to ThingLink to tag it. Just click anywhere on the image, then a window pops up in which you can choose icons and link them. It is so easy!
Third, copy the link of your interactive image. In your page, click “Add Media” – insert from URL – paste the link, click insert into page, and finally hit the publish button. That is it!
Here is a screenshot that can help you to tag your image using ThingLink. Please, click the image below to open it in a separate tab. I hope it would be helpful!

This is the best use of creativity that I have ever found on a blog “About” page. It really drew me in. Considering that you are a fellow life-long learner, I am looking forward to reading more posts in your site. Just recently, I started an online class and I am contemplating going back to school full time. I suspect that you may have some inspirational and challenging thoughts for me here.

Hi Catherine,
Thanks so much for the compliments. I am so happy to find a person who is interested in creating online environments for her students. Please, let me know what kinds of tools you are going to use. I used blogs, wikis, Facebook groups and more with my students and worked so well. To know more ideas, please visit my other educational blog “https://azharreflections.wordpress.com/” as this blog is under construction. I have just started it, but of course never stop.
By the way,
I went to your blog to see how you work, but unfortunately it says it is protected. You can go to your dashboard – setting – reading – and check the first option “Allow search engines to index this site.” This will help me to view your posts and leave comments on.
Wish you the best 🙂
