The Second Blog Entry

OK, we've been brave and maybe a bit gutsy. Or maybe we just casually walked through the first steps of setting up a blog in blogger.com. This naturally led us right into writing a couple timid words in our first entry. You also discovered that your blog can be seen on the Internet at a location with an URL address something like "something.blogspot.com." Email your friends and tell them to check it out.

But now that we're taken a deep breath and are ready for the second blog entry or a modification to the earlier one, there are no directions or instructions. So if you have a "...blogspot.com" blog, there are a couple possible ways: one - go to blogger.com, login and click on New Post; two - go to your blog and click on New Post in the upper right corner.

Now we're getting very excited. How do we let others know that you just made an entry? I suggest that you have a couple options. You can suggest that your friends click on Post (Atom), typically at least one location is at the bottom of all entries on your blog, and then click on Subscribe in Mail in the right column. I'll discuss this more advanced feature as we get more experience in blogging. That's how I follow other blogs, particularly blogs of my students.
