On the left, you will see the titles of all the entries that have been made to our blog so far. You can read all you want, but if you want to respond to any entries or create your own, you'll have to sign in. Do so by clicking on "sign in" in the upper right hand corner of tis very window. You probably haven't become a registered user yet. If not, type in your e-mail address and click on sign in. You will come to a window that will offer you a chance to sign up for the first time.
Once you are signed in, here's what you do to type in your own thoughts. Click on one of the titles to the left, and up will come the entry in the main area to the right. If you want to respond to one of the things that has been said, you click on the title of the entry, then on "post a comment" at the bottom of the entry. Up will come a white box where you can type in whatever you want. If you would like to e-mail what you said to the author of the original entry, you'll see a spot where you can click on a box to send it to her. Then, click on Publish your comment, and you'll see it.
If you want to begin a new entry all together, like to publish an overview of your family, click on "New Entry".
I'm sure you'll all get the hang of it quickly. If you have any questions about how to do anything, you can always just e-mail me and I'll help you out. It's always hard to figure something out for the first time. You'll get the hang of it, as I did! You might like blogging so much that you want to set up a family blog (as some of the members of our discussion have!)
