ATTENTION! Read this first!

These directions from Denvy Saxowsky will help those who have not blogged before.  Follow his directions to  my blog .  THANK  YOU!!
Getting Started with BloggingAs the usefulness of blogging becomes more apparent, it is necessary to support people develop their own blogs. There are many blog providers. I will walk through the steps using the google sites.

First we will setup an gmail account if you don't all ready have one.
With your browser go to Google.com.
Click on Gmail.
Click on Create an Account, and follow the prompts. Remember your gmail email address and your password. Write it on a sheet of paper and store it in your sock drawer. Some suggest in your mother's undie drawer because no one goes there.

Secondly we'll setup the blog.
Go to blogger.com
If you need to, sign in with your gmail account information.
Follow the prompts. About names: the first one requested is a general name that the public will see. Another is the title of your blog, always on the top of your blog page (think carefully about this one; it's like your brand, your sales pitch). Lastly you will enter a name for the URL address of your blogspot (simple is good).
You're ready to blog or post an entry. Do it.

Thirdly, find blogs that you would like to read on a regular basis, like that of your professor. Try "readmoreyal.blogspot.com". Click on "Follow" in the right column and follow the prompts.
Blogging is all about getting readers and interconnecting so follow blogs that interest you and follow blogs that are followed by those you follow.
Have fun but beware that blogging can be addictive. Questions: email me at saxowsky@gmail.com.
