How to create a web pop-up

1. First, you need to find a host for your pop-up web page. Log on to https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?continue=http%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2F&followup=http%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2F&service=jotspot&passive=true&ul=1

This will ask you to log on to your Google account. Do so, just as you would for logging on to your blog.

2. Click on 'Create Site', choose a blank template and type in the name of your site (e.g. begood). Wait for your web page to be created. You are now ready to design your web page!

3. Use the tools to add pictures, text, etc. For a template in HTML, go to http://www.web-source.net/popups.htm

4. Save your page. Copy the url.

5. Go to your blog. In Design, click on "Add a gadget" and choose "HTML/Javascript". Paste the following text into the box:
<script>
window.open("Your Web URL", "_blank", "width=600,height=400");
</script>

6. Replace "Your web url" with the url of your new web page.

7. Click on "Save Javascript". You are done.
