Go To The Bottom of the page to Start. Work your way up.You're Giving me White Hair. This is easier than you're making it.

Mom, start at the bottom of the page. The steps are in order from the bottom up.Click on any of these pictures to make them larger. So you can see and read them and understand and recognise the pages that I grabbed. I like my white hair. My scalp is still a little pink from the bleach. If it wasn't so much darn trouble , I'd keep it like this.

Last Step, Edit your old posts if you feel like it



Instead of NEW POSTS, you can also EDIT old posts.

Instead of Create, click on EDIT and, like the picture at the top shows, you pick one of you old posts to go to and correct spellings or add pictures, replace pictures or even delete posts.

Notice at the bottom of the top pictures the words PUBLISH POST. That's always your last step to get it into your Blog. PUBLISH it.

A little Exclamation Point sunflower Icon with a spinning petals will show up to show you it is working on publishing your words to the world wide web.

The Main Deal. Type and Publish Posts


Click on the word at the right of the window COMPOSE (It will probably already be selected) It says COMPOSE.

If the other one, EDIT HTML, is clicked it will show you html code that will just confuse you.

So click COMPOSE and then type in the window the same way you'd write a letter.

When you are done you will click PUBLISH POST. And you will have made an additional post on your Blog. Yay. Then I can read it. And you will want to TITLE the new article. You do that at the top window I have that arrow and the words TITLE ARTICLE on the picture.

Remember, click on these pictures to see them larger.

How To ADD PICTURES


The picture above shows the ICON that you click on to go to the page where you pick a picture on your computer to UPLOAD to the Blog.

Just like I've done for the pictures above. The picture at the top is the window that these choices are made in.

You click browse and go to the file , probably a jpg file to upload.

THE DASHBOARD

Now you are on the Dashboard page. This is where you go to the window that you type in. Click on New Post. This takes you to the page where you will post new pictures (like I'm doing for you) and also the window that you type in or PASTE IN typing that you've already done. (did you ever learn how to cut and paste?)

The "change settings" are where you go to change the look of your page if you get bored with it. And if you ever feel like creating a NEW blog, on some other specialized subject, click on CREATE A BLOG.

LOG IN. User name and password



The only thing you do on the home page is LOG IN. Enter your user name and password . Click on Log In and it will take you to the DASHBOARD. Like the dashboard of your car, it's where you have buttons and controls.

STEP TWO,(it could be step one) Go to Blogger Home Page

Now you click on that word and red "B" up ion the upper left corner. That will take you to the Blog Home page where you CHECK IN or LOG IN.

Step One, BOOKMARK Your Country Writings Blog

Ok Mom, first go to your blog page. http://goodsoningravelly.blogspot.com/
and BOOKMARK that page so it's easy to get to.

To log in and look at your own writing etc. BOOKMARK is a part of the NAVIGATION TOOLBAR at the top of your browser.

Like I printed on the picture, "I know you've got one."

Click on add bookmmark and then click OK. That's your first step.
