Posting on the New and Improved Blog!

Here goes nothing.  I have decided to actually use and contribute to the blog I created two weeks before Porter was born. I had grandiose ideas of blogging his every movement, but here I am, eight months later, at square one.  Can you tell I have been a little busy?? Anyway, this is my attempt at, well, I am not quite sure yet.  This will be a great tool to use to keep friends and family updated, as well as get my thoughts out there.  In life of a young wife and mother, there is never a dull moment.  I love reading my friend's blogs, so I figure what the heck? Can't hurt. Another great way to connect to people!  So here goes nothing....

  1. Girl, I'm so excited for you!

    I love reading other mom's blogs and seeing what they're up to... It's like the verse in Proverbs, "Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." I love secondhand wisdom, and just keeping up, too!

    I can't wait to see what you, Porter and Neil are up to via blog. Will you post your recipes here from BB, too? That would be awesome!

  2. Welcome to blogging! I love reading what people blog about. Don't stress- just write whatever is happening. My favorite blogs are just every day events, with other fun stuff to fill it in. I agree with Joanna, post some recipes too!

  3. Ok, so I want to learn how to put a blog archive with keywords like yours, Sarah. And also how do you like things to a certain word. Example, in one of your guys' says like "see here" and when you click the word "here" it take you someplace linked. I like using a word instead of the whole link. Thanks ladies! I'm excited too!

  4. Blogger -> Design -> Add a Gadget -> Labels
    You can tag your blogs individually (ex: Porter or recipes) and easily find an archive of them once you've added that gadget.

    To link, just highlight the word/words you want to link to and click on the Link icon in the tool bar to add the address. It will automatically create a link for your readers.

    I just realized Sarah probably already emailed you about all this, so if it's redundant, forgive me!

  6. Also, I'm sure you know, but you have a monthly Blog Archive to the left.. I know it's not the same as using labels, though. So now when you post, there should be an area beneath the text box to add a label and it will sort for you. I did that for a minute, but didn't like it.

    Awesome work so far!!! I already love your blog.
