how to be a blogger

since a bunch of folks seem to be losing their blogging skills (mom, will), i'm posting this brief, yet condescending, tutorial.

to post, you'll first need to be invited ... thats to prevent spammers and other nefarious folk lurking on the internet from defacing this site. send me (matt, heather's bruva) an email at mjf7d at hotmail dot com. then i'll add you to the member list. blogger.com will send an invite via email. follow the instructions in the email (click a link and create a user name and password) ... simple enough.

once you have a user name and password, go to blogger.com to log in. enter user name and password. you'll be presented with a list of all the blogs you belong to (it could just be one). this one will be displayed as "2006". click the "create post" button next to "2006" ... a screen will appear in which you can type. good luck!
