Do You Need Help Working the Blog? a guide to the genocide blog

ANNOUNCEMENT: YOU SHOULD ALL HAVE YOUR OWN ACCOUNTS AND BE ABLE TO POST ON THE BLOG - PLEASE DO NOT POST AS MS. FINN ANYMORE. Thanks!

1. How to Enable Yourself

Sign in as Ms. Finn (she gave you her username and password) and up at the right hand corner, you'll see "customize." Click there, then click "settings." You'll see a nother button that says "permissions." Click there and hit "add new guest) or something like that. Then, add your email. You'll be listed as "guest" - that's fine. Check your email and accept the invitation. Then, sign onto your own account here on blogspot! Voila - you've enabled yourself.

2. How to Post Pics/Videos

IF YOU WANT TO POST PICS AND/OR VIDEOS, YOU MUST POST, NOT COMMENT.

PICS: While you're writing your post, you can click on the button with a little picture of a picture... (it's weird, but you'll see it up at the top right of the editing box.) If you hold your mouse over it, it should say "Add Image." Basically, follow the directions in the popup window that shows up. Then, preview your post before you publish to make sure that it worked. :)

VIDEOS: On Youtube, right under "URL" and right above the box with "Related Videos," there's a section that says "Embed." Copy that line of text and paste it into your post. Then, preview your post to make sure it worked. :)

3. Basic Courtesy

If you see that there is another post that is similar to one that you want to create, DON'T POST YOURS. Instead, comment on the one that exists already. This will prevent clutter and will allow for deeper and more active discussion on topics. :) Basically, comment whenever you can and post when there isn't a topic that relates to yours already.

4. Check all of the Recent Posts

Since there has been more blog activity, there have been more and more posts. Be sure to go back and check on posts that are a bit older - chances are, if the topic was interesting, there are still a few people posting on those as well. Let's not let any topic just die off! :)

5. Check the Lists at the Left side of the page

We will be updating these lists of links, articles, and other fun stuff, so be sure to check every so often and see if there are any new goodies to enjoy. :) Also, we will post almost any link that you all mention, so please keep them coming!

Most of all, just participate, speak your mind, and have fun!

That's it for now. If any other questions come up, we will be sure to give you all more information here, so check back every once in a while. :)

Your humble webmasters,

Coe and Tal
