Getting Started/Blog Tips

It's funny that I'm writing "tips" considering this is the first blog I've particpated on. If you "blog gurus" (i.e. Justin) have additional tips, please advise! My tips are very basic and will help with getting started.

To become listed as a "contributor" to this blog, you will need to log in with a username (email address) and password. I used my gmail account address and password, I'm not sure if you have to have a gmail address or if any email address works? Maybe someone else knows??

Once a contributor, your name will be listed on the right panel. You'll also be able to create new posts and make edits to other items on the right panel (e.g. Birthdays), but you'll need to be logged in to do so.

And that's it...I don't know anything really cool are fancy. :o)

I think its more complicated--I've been able to post comments but I'm not listed as a contributor. When I sign onto Google it asks me to create my own blog (which I don't want to do). Also how would I add Sid's birthday? Do you Char/Parth have to add me as a contributor since it is your blog? Justin help!

Karl,

I resent the invite to add you as a contributor - I see that Shaila is listed as a contributor. Is she able to post? Has she created a login?

Check your spam email for the invite.

Charul, and others...did you get the email from blogger to invite you to blog? What did you do after you got the invite??

same thing as karl. i can post but no invite i thinks. no big deal, i'm more of a spectator rather than a contributor.
