How to Post on this Blog

This is not the be-all-end-all definitive instruction. There are probably ways to easily post from your email too. Please share the way you do it in the comments below this post and then we can read all the methods and choose which one works best for each of us. I am writing this because a couple of people asked for instructions.

Here is the way that works best for me. Log into your Google account. Then go to this blogs home page - which is where you are as you are reading this. Now look at the thin banner along the top of the blog. Over on the far right you will see your Google User Name and right next to it you will see New Post. Click on that and you will be good to go. To preview the post before you publish it just click on the blue Preview at the right end of the post box toolbar.

Larry sent everyone an invite to this blog. By following the link in the email you should be able to log in and accept the invitation. If you need to set up a Google User account I am sure Google will provide you with prompts.

The only problem I could imagine people running into is if the email address Larry used is not linked to their Google account. Then it is just a couple of steps to add that email address as an alternate email address associated with your Google account. (Settings/GoogleAccountSettings/
- you will need to log in again - then click on - "edit your personal info" - Scroll down to "Add an alternate email address to your account")
