New To Blogging?


Some of us have been blogging for years now. If so, just skip this brief tutorial. Others of us may still be trying to figure out what in the world a blog is and how it works.

A blog (short for weblog) is a spot where an author (aka blogger) can write (post) their thoughts and others can respond (comment) and share theirs.

The posts appear in chronological order, with the most recent one at the top of the page.

For example, just below is a post about generosity. Read it and you'll find a story about a simple act of generosity propagated by my two year old daughter.

At the bottom of the post, you'll see the word "comments" with a number by it. Click on "comments" and you'll be able to read another story that was shared by someone else.

Some posts may ask directly for feedback, others may be more informational. Either way, view this blog as a chance to share your perspective. To comment:
1. Click on the word "comment"
2. Scroll to the bottom of the pop up window to where it says "Leave a Comment"
3. Jot down your thoughts
4. Choose an identity
5. Type the letters you see in the word verification section
6. Hit "Publish Your Comment"

We'll be updating this blog at least every other day, so stop by regularly and contribute your thoughts too. We want to hear your stories!
