How to Use Blog

Or I've received an invitation now what do I do?
(Short form: Scroll down to 7)

It's amazing what you can learn when you start doing something. For example there is a huge gap between knowing what a Blog (Web Log) is and actually being able to navigate it. As I've stumbled around creating this thing I've learned a few things. Hopefully the same will happen as we stumble around the readings on a daily basis. That being neither here nor there let's try to make navigation of this thing a tad easier.

How to use this Blog (or any blog for that matter):

1. By being invited and accepting, you are a member. This means you can leave posts as little or as much as you want. A post is simply a addition to the writings that appear on the left side of the screen. The last on added will appear at the top of the left column. (The last will be first and the first will be last.)

2. A list of Previous Posts appears on the right hand side of the screen. Click on Lenten Journey 2005, Daily Readings, Suggestions for Daily Writing, and Rules to discover what this Blog is all about.

3. Members have an account and a link to this Blog. To create a Post click on Create. Title it and then write. Make sure to publish post when you are finished.

4. The only person who can invite members to join is scottpetersen. Go to profile and send email. If you have a friend, a family member, a church friend, or all three that you would like invited to become members send me an email their email address. I will send them an invitation.

5. Anonymous comments are allowed by any person even those who stumble upon this blog in passing. If you have stumbled upon this blog and would like to join us please go to profile and send an email. If you are not from Virginia Theological Seminary or St. Benedict's Parish please let us know where you are from.

6. Blogs are not all that hard to create. If you don't like this one create your own. If you have a blog already and want to be linked simply go to profile and send an email. If it fits with the spirit of this I will gladly list it.

7. The best way to learn is to try some things to see how this all works. If I can figure it out you certainly can.
