Tips for getting on the blog

I thought I'd put together a little note on here for those who were struggling with posting on the blog. Here are a few things:

1. Go to the email that you received from Leslie about the blog. The subject says, "You have been invited to contribute to Leslie Groft's blog. Follow the link in the blog and it will take you to the blogger website and ask you to log in. You will need a google id for that - but it will walk you through that too if you need.
   
2. After logging into the blog you will be taken to a place called the "Dashboard". If you are a member to any other blogs it will list those here. If not - it will just list our blog "Leslie's ONE-Month Challenge".
   
3. If you are going straight to the blog and have already registered as a user - to create a new post you will click on the letter "B" in the top left corner of your screen. This will also take you to a place to sign in and then on to the "Dashboard" where you should see "Leslie's ONE-Month Challenge" listed.
   
4. Here you will click on "New Post". This will take you to a window where you will type up your post. I would recommend that after you type your post that you also give it a label. At the bottom of the window where you've typed there is a spot that says "Labels for this post:". In that line just type your name. That way you will be able to read through your posts based on your name. (I'll add a bar on the side that will list all of our names - that way if you wanted to print it out later or something - for your own records - you could.) After typing your post click on "Publish Post".
5. You will then be taken to a screen that will have the option to "View post". Click on that and make sure everything looks alright and you're done! If for some reason you want to change anything you can click back and there will be an option to "edit post" and you can do what you need to.

I hope this helps some...If you have any questions you can ask and I'll help best I can.
