"Turn left at the fork in the road..."

Right then everyone, some of us, including me, are a bit new to this whole blogging thing. Fortunately for me, all things technology love me and I love them. (though not as much as Teresa) (but I'll try to keep my sappyness to a minimum here. This is a public blog after all... Plus she may get embarassed. Aw, but she's so cute when she's embarassed... Augh, ok, I'll stop!)

The real reason I'm posting is not to struggle against saying sappy things to the s.o. but rather to give brief instructions to anyone who may not have my natural rapport with tech.

Signing in: When you go to the blog, you may need to sign in. You will know you need to sign in if you look at the top right corner of the blog and see the words "Sign In". If you see this, click it, and sign in. If you see the words "Sign Out" you're fine. Don't mess with it.

Posting: Apparently, the way to make a new post, like this one, is to again go to the top right corner, after you've signed in, and click on "New Post" or whatever it says there. I can't see it because I'm posting right now. Anyway, a screen should come up which looks postish. Post with it.

Responding to posts: The way I've found of responding to a post is to click on the post as it is displayed on the home page. Then you will be taken a page where there is a box under the post in which you may respond in.

Well I guess that's all for now! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Emily. Oh, and thanks Aunty Em, for reposting your book club plan.

Cheers, bye! -EM
