Blogging Intro
These are just a few notes on blogging for those of you who are new to it.
Comments
At the bottom of each entry, there is a button that says ‘comments’. If there is a number in front of it (as in ‘3 comments’) that means somebody has written something in response. Click it and you can see what they had to say. If there is a no in front of it (as in ‘no comments’) that means you can be the first to respond! Just click on it and a page will come up that asks you to ‘leave a reply.’ Simply fill in your name and email address (you can use emily@carpevia.com if you like) and type in a note.
It doesn’t have to be funny or witty. You can add your own story like ‘oh yeah that happened me once…’ or can just tell me if you liked it or not. Whatever. The nice thing is the back-and-forth that gets going.
RSS Feeds
If you have a number of sites that you like to look at regularly, this is an easy way to see if they have been updated with just one click. Simply choose one of the tracker sites like bloglines.com or my.yahoo and type in the sites you want to follow. Then each day, all you have to do is visit one site which will tell you automatically.
Once you have a page set up, you can click the rss feed at the bottom of any of the carpevia pages. Or just click here to get going easily (will set you up with bloglines and add carpevia all at once):
