How to post a new entry

Don't run away... I promise this is easier than you think!

Login (you will receive an email with the login information)
The login will automatically put you on the “dashboard” page.
Click “New Post”
Type a title in the “Title field”
Type your entire post in the main field
When you are complete, hit “publish post”
Easy Easy! :)

How to add a photo to your post:

click the “add image” icon, which is the small icon that has a picture of a green hill and blue sky. If you hold your mouse over the icons, it will tell you the name of each icon.

You must know the picture/file name or it’s location. It will allow you to browse through your computer. You may add up to 5 photos at one time by clicking the “add another image” button.

I prefer the center layout and “large” image size option, but you may select whichever size you like. It will default if you click nothing.

Click the check box to "agree with terms and conditions" and then click "upload image". The images will load and you may close the small window.

This is where it becomes a little tricky for non-computer users.

Once you have added your picture, you can view it by hitting the “compose” tab that is in the top right hand of the box your text is. To edit where your photo is, you must be on the tab “edit Html”. The picture will be written in Html code. You have to highlight the entire code, then cut and paste where you want it.

Picture Html code starts and ends with <>. It can be really long, sometimes 5 lines long. Make sure you cut and paste the entire code or your picture won't turn out.

If you have any other questions or would like to know how to add video, please let me know. OR if someone knows an easier way to do anything I just did, please let us all know!
