Useful Buttons Once You Have a Blog

"New Post" - You can find this on your main blog page and on your Dashboard page. This allows you to write a "new blog entry." This is different from creating an altogether new blog. When you post new content to your blog, hit "new post," not new blog.

"Design" - Look at the top right-hand part of the screen. This button brings up the "Dashboard" button.

"Dashboard" - this allows you to create new blogs, to edit your posts, and other functions.

"View Blog" - this button takes you to the 'public' view of your blog. From this view, copy your blog address http://sampleblogaddress.blogspot.com and paste it into an email to me. Thanks
