Blog Help
For those who need a little assistance with using the blog, I've put together a few notes that may help. Please feel free to make any comments or suggestions. Or post your own question about blog-related topics and maybe someone can answer your question.
To begin with, I think we need to talk about what a blog is. In general, a blog is a web site containing a series of entries, or topics. Sometimes a blog is someone's online journal. Sometimes a blog provides reviews of different musicians or artists. This blog is a place for people from the San Diego Bonsai Club to talk about bonsai-related things (of course, those who are not members of the club are also welcome here). To find out more about what a blog is, take a look at the definition from Blogger and the definition on Wikipedia.
As noted above, a blog consist of a series of "entries." This entry, for example, is titled "Blog Help." There are a few ways to post an entry to a blog. One way is to login to blogger and then click on the icon to post to the blog. See the blogger help page on posting to a blog for more information on this method. It turns out that there is also an add-in you can download and install so you can post to a blog from Microsoft Word.
In order to "post" an entry on this blog, you have to be a member. If you are interested in becoming a member of this blog, please let us know. Once you let us know that you want to post to this blog, we will send you an invitation. You will need to accept the invitation and sign up for a free Blogger account. Then, you will be able to login to your blogger account and post to this blog and any other blogs you are a member of.
Each entry in a blog can have many comments which are associated with it. A comment is like a response or a reply. You do not have to sign up for an account with Blogger in order to post a comment. To see the comments for an entry, look towards the bottom of the entry. You should see information about who posted the entry and when it was posted. You will also see a link that says something like "3 comments." If you click on that link, you will be able to see all the comments that have been entered and you will also be able to post your own comment, if you wish. Have a question about blogs in general? Or about this blog? Post a comment to this entry now!
Of course, this little tutorial cannot cover all the topics involved with blogging. For more information on blogs and how to use this blog, please refer to the Blogger help site. Enjoy!
