I loved the Comic Strip Generator. This is another one of those sites that you could play around with all day, and it would take all day to get through their various selections. Many are not appropriate for elementary age children, so if it was going to be an assignment, such as quoting a famous person, or making some type of statement, there would have to be some type of limitations on the comic strips they could use. I can see our Art teacher using some of these, as there were many art reproductions. Great site and lot of fun.
Again, here I am with the Texas State Symbols. I loved Image Chef and will continue to explore it. I thought the license plate image would be a good image to put on the first slide, page of project, etc. to introduce it.
I tried the Flower Text in Image Chef and loved it--wish you could see my creation. It said to right click to save to desktop and them upload, but the right-click menu didn't give those options. It also said you could click and drag to desktop, but that didn't work either. You might want to try it--it is a beautiful image. I tried many times and came back to it later, but couldn't get it to work.
I also love everything I have tried on Big Huge Labs. This is a card that I created on Trading Card Maker as an example for the 2nd graders I was working with. They are always fascinated with my pets and love finding out that their teachers actually have a life, family, friends, house, etc.
They researched a topic they were interested in and created cards of their own.

I'm glad you finally got it to work. One thing I've learned as a user of technology is that we can never predict the "glitches" we might encounter. What I do sometimes is create my post in Word and then copy and paste into the blog. That way, if the blog does something nutty, I can rest assured I won't lose my work if I click the wrong thing.
Media can be tricky. Some blog spaces allow you to just copy a graphic into the text editor; others require that you use an upload tool. Some allow you to copy and paste html code to embed something; others require you use the embedding tool. You have to learn to be flexible. Don't worry. The more you use technology, the less scary it is when something goes "wrong."
