how to contribute to this blog



Thought I'd give the folks out in 3D land some tips on contributing to the blog, because I've gotten all kinds of complaints. So here goes.

1) when you get an email invitation from me, click on the link in the email which will take you to Blogger.com.

-1) If you haven't received an invitation, email me at sherah at mit dot edu.

1a) from there you register by creating a user name and password.

34) log in if you haven't already.

91) you will get to the "dashboard" page on blogger. See the above pic for visual aid (you can click on this to zoom in and see more details if needed). To contribute to the Club852 blog you click on the link called "new post". Note the green cross like image nearby. Do NOT click "create blog".

91z) think of the new post as a post in a new fence. You need posts to make a complete unit. We need posts to make a more complete Club 852.

124) once you've written your anger manifesto, the details of what you had for lunch, or how you hate it when people assume your brown hair is black, you can punch one of two buttons: Save as Draft (which will not be posted) or "Publish post".

Seems easy enough. However, it doesn't work that way. When I first did this, it worked. However, now when I log in, it says I 'have no blogs' and won't list "Club852" anymore. It does not give me the choice of "new post" I have tried everything, from creating new blogs, to banging the computer with a hammer. No go.

amy,

try clearing your cache on the computer.

I will try to find out why you can't post. that is so not nice.

What's a cache?

what is your email address again? Why don't I send you a new email invitation so you can log in and hopefulyl post - because I have no idea why you can't post and can't explain cache other than say you should clear it.
