Blog Orientation 2.0


Hey everyone.  I'm re-posting a previous (and edited) post because a)I changed some things around and 2) I have some newbies reading the blog.  In this post, I will familiarize my blog followers (aka blogowers or folloblogs) with everything this blog contains, with the exception of the blog posts staring you right in the face.

First, at the top left of your computer screen there is a search box.  You can use this to search for old blog posts or a series of connected blog posts.  For example of you want to read my entire How to Catch Vermin series, you can type that in the search box and all of my posts will come up.

Second, the Share button next to the search box allows you to share this blog with your friends on Twitter or Facebook. (Because no one uses email anymore).

Third, there should (and I stress, should) be a "Follow This Blog" button so you can...... follow this blog.  It's pretty self explanatory.  I can't see this button so it may not exist, but I send out emails whenever a new post goes up so its not really a big deal.

Fourth, below the title and new description of my blog you will notice my "Pages" section on the left.  I currently have four pages titled "Home", "My Photos: Mi Familia, Make Yourself Feel Good and Know That Your Smarter Than These People. You Are, Right?" and "My Favorite Political Quotes" (which is probably going to become "My Favorite Quotes" shortly.  Home is the page you start out on with all the posts, My Photos Mi Familia has pictures of me and the fam, and the other two pages have some nice reading material.  To get back to the main page you can click BACK below the end of the page.

Fifth, on the left of the blog posts (and below the pages section) on the main page are three sections: Followers, Blog Archive, and About Me.  The Followers section shows my followers,  The Blog Archive categorizes past posts by month and year, and the About Me contains a little info about yours truly.

(Now listening to Kashmir by Escala .... I wasn't typing that fast, I just pause a lot.)
Sixth, at the bottom of the blog their is a little extra info about myself including my favorite PVCC classes and favorite books.

Lastly, below Favorite Books is the weekly poll.  Every Monday, I will put up a new poll and reveal the answer for the past weeks poll.  This week's poll is about my favorite vacation spot.

Well, I hope someone found this helpful.  Now everyone should be able to navigate this blog like they do their bedroom when it's dark and LEGOs are on the floor.

See you next time, same blog time, same blog channel.
