a tip about blogging

Help! I want to contribute but i'm not sure how!

These are the cries of our people! These may be the cries of you who are reading along with this blog today! You are full of profound and insightful thoughts and long to share them with our online community but you just don't know how to do it! I am here to give you a step by step guide! :)

Step one. read the entry by Melanie or Kelly and ogle at their brilliance! :)

Step two. Below each entry is a place that currently says "0 comments." You'll notice if you move your mouse over that spot on the page it will turn colors and signal a link to another page. Click on that "0 comments" (it may say any # and then comments if people begin to share their thoughts) which will take you to a new page.

Step Three. you don't need to register for anything. Simply type your thoughts in the comments box in the upper right hand part of your screen. Then you will notice a bolded group of words claiming: "Comment moderation has been enabled. All comments must be approved by the blog author." This means that Melanie approves all posts before you will see them, so once you are done, you won't be able to see your comment immediately!

Step four. You will be asked for a word verification. Just type the letters that you see in the box below the letters.

Step five. Finally you will be given an opportunity to "Sign in" as an official blogger. This is where you do not need to register for anything. simply choose the "other" option which will give you a chance to put your name in there if you'd like. Or choose "anonymous" and we will not know who you are.

Tada!! That's it! Now you too can blog with us. We'd love your comments and thoughts. It's nice to know you're out there reading along! Happy blogging!
