How to post...

Thanks for embarking on this new method of keeping up better with each other.

Here's how to post:
1. You have to create a Google Gmail account-- which is by far the best e-mail account out there. You don't have to make this your primary account, but if you want to it will teach you how to import all your e-mails and it will send a notification to your address book that your e-mail address has changed. If you don't want to use it like that-- you just need one to be able to sign into the blogger site.

2. When you log in it should take you to a screen that says, "Dashboard." It will list the name of the blog, called, "Forever Friends." You'll see some options below the name. Click on the New Post link to add your post. To view the post click on "View Blog."

3. The posting screen will pop up and you'll see a place to begin typing. You can make a title for your post--- like mine that says, "How to post..." You can change your fonts, colors and add a picture.

4. Add a picture by clicking on the tiny picture image next to spell check. It'll bring up a separate window where you'll browse for pics on your computer to post. You can add more than one at a time by clicking on "add another photo."

5. When you're done with your photos and text, click on "publish post" at the bottom.

You can then view the blog with your post added. If you see mistakes or want to make any changes you can click on edit post to do so.

Just take a few minutes and navigate around--- this is really easy to use and so fun once everyone posts regularly.Click on the link on the side under our birthday list to see my family's blog. If you create your own blog, I'll post the link here so we can all view those blogs as well.

Coby's siblings started one for all of us and it is a lot of fun!! You can create a separate blog for your self, family or whoever--- just remember to share with me!!

Love ya and happy posting!!

P.S. I have started a list of our birthdays on the side--- make sure yours is right and then if your date is missing... let me know so I can add it!!!
