How to blog

Copied from PK and Heidi's emails, assuming you have an invitation-to-author email from Heidi:

So, in theory, here's whatcha do...

Go here: http://thesturgeonfam.blogspot.com/

If it doesn't already log you in, go to the top right corner and click 'log in'. If it does log you in, at the top right corner you'll see you email address and "New Post" and "Sign Out".
After you log in, it might take you here: http://www.blogger.com/home
No worries, just click "View Blog" under "Sturgeon Family Blog" and you'll be back at the page Heidi put up.

So now, you should see a page with all of the topics or thread so far. Each one has a bold title and the first post that you can read (except the post Tavvy made about Wilma Flinstone, because she left the subject line blank ;) ). If you want to reply to one of those topics, you can click 'Comments' and read what everyone else has said so far about that topic, and you can comment something yourself at the bottom and add to it.

Now that you commented on it, you can click "Sturgeon Family Blog" at the top of the page, and go back to the main page of all the topics.


Update: I forgot to copy in Heidi's email. Here it is.

Ok for those of you who need help with the blog... this is how I do it and hopefully it will work for you too. I click on "sign in" in the top right corner (blue letters). Then I fill in my google account info and it takes me back to the blog page. Only now the top right corner has the option for "new post" (also in blue letters) Clicking on this will take you to a page where you can write your own entry and post it to the blog. Then others can comment on your post or create their own.

Now if you don't have this option, you may need to create a google account and/or then you need to become a contributor for the blog. I resent the invites to become an author for the blog. Look for that email...


Hope this helps some and thanks for those of you willing to try this out!
