Instructions for Blogging Go to: http://bcuccmicah6-8.blogspot.com/ Anyone can read all the existing posts by clicking around. Anyone can comment on an existing post, by clicking on the “Comments” link at the bottom of the post. If there aren't any comments yet, the link says “no comments” - click on it to make the first comment. To make a new post, you have to have permission from Jeff to be an author. Email him at [email protected] and ask. To start using Blogger, simply sign in with your Google Account. (If you use Gmail, Google Groups, or orkut, you already have an account.) If you don't have a Google Account yet, you can create one by going to: https://accounts.google.com/SignUp?service=blogger Once you've signed in to Blogger, you'll see the page at this URL: http://www.blogger.com/home, and your dashboard with your list of blogs. If you haven't started any blogs yourself, and haven't been given permission to be an author on any, there won't be any. Here's what you need to do to post: Click on the “view blog” button to read other peoples' posts. Click the orange pencil icon to write a new post, and enter anything you want to share with the world. If you're looking directly at the Micah 6:8 blog (http://bcuccmicah6-8.blogspot.com/), there's a "new post" button at the upper right. Next, you'll see the Post Editor page. Start by giving your post a title (optional), then enter the post itself. When you're done, click the Preview button at the top to make sure it's ready to go, and then click the Publish button to publish your post. If you want to write the post in another program like Microsoft Word and then paste the text into a new blog post, be aware that this will cause problems because Blogger is a text editor itself, and will make lots of mistakes when it tries to interpret the pasted text, causing it to look differently from what you intended. So if you really want to write offline and paste into the “new post” window, use a plain text editor like Microsoft Notepad. You can find notepad by right clicking on the desktop and selecting “new text document”. After you've written what you want to say and pasted it into the blogger “new post” window, you can use the editing buttons on there to change the font and add stuff like hyperlinks and pictures. .
