How to do it !!

1. Adding text and photos to the Blog site is called Posting.
2. As a limited access site you need to be invited to add a posting.You can add a posting display after being invited -
3. An invitation address is dispatched to your email that includes a long line of address to take you to the blogsite. Do not double click this address, lift and paste into thesearch bar at the screen top and return.
4. This takes you to a display that requires you to add your email and a password. Entering this will take you to the Dashboard. Select New Post.
5. It should open a display similar to an email. Text can then be added. (colours and fonts are preset by the blogsite template.) Add a title at the label box below the main text area- this will be used to generate an index on the blogsite.
6. The menu bar on the 'Posting' display also allows you to add images from the computer.
[The images can be imported at a small size. The blog software reduces these to fit the display -it takes about 30 seconds to convert. Double clicking on the blog display will enlarge the imported image back to full display].
7. If you add a Label to the image it will be saved in the listing on the left of the blog display and progressively provide a short index of all similar images or maps.(You must agree to Terms of Service, specified at the base of the dialogue box, otherwise it attempts to convert without success.)
8. At each stage you can Preview the result and then edit the posting through the option above.
9. When you return in future to the blogsite you access through the Sign In at the top right of the screen and then in New Blogger fill in your email and password.
10. You can comment on the blog at any time via the comments label displayed but this is limited and is not displayed.
