Directions to Use the Blog - I'll delete this later

Directions to use the blog:

1) Go to www.blogger.com

2) Sign in where it says "new blogger" to use your gmail account. Just click on "new blogger", then type in your email and password. Then click "sign in"

Dan, Molly, Joe Doug and Dave have all been invited to add to your blog. So they will sign in under their own emails and passwords.

3) This brings you to the dashboard - click on "new post" (it has a green cross next to it).

You just start writing -- give yourself a title and start to write. If you have pics, send me by email and I'll add them for you (I'll teach you later how to add them).

If you aren't done or not sure if you liked what you wrote you can simply click on "save as draft". If you want to see what it looks like, you can click on "preview" (and then later click on "hide preview" to go back to the page you were writing on.

When you are all done -- click on "publish"

(please note - you can add "labels" or categories at the right lower corner. Let's say you were adding lots of stories about Mo, you could label it as "king mo". )

4) If you have saved something as draft, then next time you are at the dashboard you can click on "edit" and finish the posting. Also you can change your blog postings at any time you want, in case you see a typo or something. It's really easy.

I think that is all...have fun!
