Some blogging basics

Here's some basic stuff that my friend Shani was interested in. Maybe you'll like it too!

Ok, you can add photos really easily (with or without flickr) just hit that blue photo button up at the top of the window where you edit you posts. It looks like a little landscape and it's next to the spellcheck button. Just pick whatever pic you want from your computer and voila.

You can add links to your posts by clicking the little link button in the same row of buttons. So if you wanted to add a link Mariah Carey as Mimi, you might type "Mariah Carey (aka Mimi)" and add a link to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6559564/ and provide more info about her name change or whatever. You get the picture. I generally write my post and then go back over it and add links where ever it seems appropriate.

If you want to add links to your sidebar to my site, or anyone elses, it's kind of complicated, but not really. But no worries. You can add a little chunk of code to your template and it will show up. I'll try to explain it via email, but you may just want give me a call or read this.

Oh, and here's a few links to blogger help pages on cool stuff:

Have fun!!
