Blogging 101

Hi girls!

So, I think I've decided that I am more excited about this blogging thing than anyone, but that's OK. I'll have you all hooked in about a week! :)

I do realize, however, that some of you have never even seen a "blog" like this, so let me give you a quick rundown of some blogging basics.

Basically, it is just an online journal (as I said below) but I am excited to share with you girls many things on here, even what the Lord might be showing me. However, I don't want to be the only one talking on this thing. I would love some feedback. This is where you come in: feel free to post comments whenever you want, and don't feel silly about it! :)

How to post comments:

1) Scroll down to the bottom of the post and you will see a link that says "0 comments" or however many comments there might be. If you have a Google email account, or even a blog of your own you can sign into your own account in the lines provided and leave a comment. When you are done typing your comment, fill out the "Word Verification" box (this prevents spam), and then press "Publish" comment. Your comment should show up immediately to the left, if not, you have not been successful. At this point you should try again. Don't give up!

2) If you DO NOT have a Google account, or a Gmail account, do not fear. Anonymous people can leave comments, too! What you would do is type your comment in the box, then when you are done click on the "anonymous" choice at the bottom. You will also have to fill out the "word verification" box, but that is easy. Once you have filled out the word verification, click on "Publish" and same as above, your comment should show up right away. If not, keep trying. :) Of course, if you choose anonymous, at least be sure to sign your name in your comment so we know who you are! :) That is unless you choose for something to be private, like a prayer request or something!

3) If you are reading this thing, and not commenting, you are officially called a "lurker!" I mean, come on, who wants to be a "lurker!" Let me know you're there! I'd love to "meet" you! :)

4) On the sidebar you will find a list of girls ministry websites, those are links so if you click on them, it will take you to that page.

5) At some point I will start listing some good books for you on the sidebar too. So, check those out.

6) Start getting use to the blog. I will try and notify y'all when I have updated, but the more you check it, the more you will get used to this idea. I am going to try and communicate with you all on this blog as much as possible.

7) If you have any questions about this blog, or anything else for that matter, feel free to email me, which you can find in the "profile" or "about this blog" section on the side. :0)

Alright, I'm out. Wow, this was deep, wasn't it! ;) I PROMISE that not all of my posts will be numbered. It's just that this is all new and I feel like keeping y'all in the know about this blog stuff! :)

Let's have a blast with it...I'm getting so excited!

Fun post coming soon...

Love you all,

Lindsee
