Questions From Betty

Thank you, Betty, for asking those questions. (See Betty's questions in the comments of the last post.)

You can get rid of your blog once you practice on it a little and understand how to work it. But really it doesn't hurt for us to have our own blog sites for different purposes, if you like.

I have a few blogs. One for my family to check, one for my business, one for my "Peninsula's Yellow Ribbon Club," one for my writings... Posting my family blog makes it so that I don't have to mass email everyone. Amy would probably enjoy having one of those. I don't get to look at the cute pictures she's emailed me as often as I might because they are buried 5 pages deep in my mail or stuck in a folder. If they were posted on a website, we could surf through them easily and frequently. My club website advertises the club, solicits donations and alerts members of upcoming meetings or events. They all know to check it. Keeps my work down considerably. For my writings, I can post from anywhere. A lot of times what I do with my writing site is have a work-in-progress saved as a draft. Then I log on when I get inspired, whether it's at work, home or traveling (with Internet access of course).

We will create another blog for the family to use for Stella's purpose, but I thought it would be good for everyone to know how to work it before jumping in.

To answer the question of posting comments. I agree that posting a comment is not the best way to use this blog. I have added myself as an additional author, so you will see how, at the bottom of some postings it says "POSTED BY SAMPLE" , but this one is posted by me, signing in as a different author with a different account.

I hesitate sending invitations to be additional authors, because I think it would confuse the matter now. I would prefer you get aquainted with the technique first.

Betty has created a blog at http://thoughtsfrombetty.blogspot.com/, and one other among us has read the instructions and created a blog of their own. Check out Shiran's blog at http://praiseyoulord.blogspot.com/.

One last thing: whoever has sign on privileges has to moderate the comments before they are posted. That's why Betty's comments weren't able to be veiwed until today.

Please email me with any more questions. I love it that you're all getting into this!
