How to make a screenshot

After making screenshot, you must open PhotoShop, create a new file (Ctrl+N), then paste your Screenshot on it (Ctrl+V). Now you get the whole screen image. Select the part you need and make it as a new image, save it as jpg. or gif file on your computer.

苹果机Macintosh 系统：按住"shif" 和 "Command"再按“3”键。

照完屏幕后打开PhotoShop，新建文挡，按Ctrl+V粘贴，这时就可以看到整个屏幕成了一张图片。选取你需要的部分并把这部分，新建一文挡并保存为jpg. 或 gif格式的文件就可以了。

Let your Blog be a study platform

I really enjoy visiting your Blog these days. Most people have personalized their blogs and added some writing on the first page. I even got a few comments from you. Of course, I added some to a few well-designed Blog pages too. Also, I found most of you wrote English posts, not simply a few Chinese charaters, which won't help improving your English.
As we know, this is a Bilingual instruction course. Using English as much as we could is a requirement. I wish you make your Blogs a study platform for learning Music, Technology and English, not a chatting board or BBS for killing your time.
If you could check this Blog, a page that done by faculty and students at New York University, you will know how rich of it and how well they use the online resource. The link is http://webmusicing.blogspot.com/

A Music Page

This is a test page for background music.
Listen!
Did you hear the music?


Good! Get it.

Important Announcement

Dear IMMT Class:

We are going to learn “Web Music Tech” this Thursday night. In order to hear your online music, please bring your own headphone. Besides, I’m still waiting for few of your Blog address. Please send me the link if you have finished your assignment, so that I can add it to our class page. The due day is Wednesday.

Reminder

How do you write an email? It seems a stupid question. However, I did get a few pieces of silly message from you. I could recognize neither the writer nor the subject.
This is only a reminder for you. You have to make your message clear for your reader. Please write YOUR NAME and a topic sentence at the SUBJECT wondow. After finish writing your email, please type YOUR NAME again, better with your contact information, so the reader will know who you are and what you are talking about. Alternatively, you can set a signature for your email. This is a common rule for writing email.
