I've seen a couple questions about how to post things up here, so I thought I'd post some instructions to make the process a little easier. I'm a computer geek and work with websites all day, but I promise, this is pretty easy.
How to Create a New Blog Post
Step 1: At the upper right hand corner of the page, click on Sign In. This will take you to the Dasboard page.
Step 2: Click on the link next to the green plus sign that says New Post
Step 3: Enter the title of your new post. This is what will appear in the larger, bold font at the top of the post.
Step 4: Start typing your text in the box below. Make sure you are on the Compose tab at the upper right, otherwise you are in the area where you put in the HTML code (not where you want to be).
Change Font: Use the font dropdown box to select your font style.
Change Font Size: Click on the icon that has two "T's". This will let you choose a font size.
Bold: Highlight the word or words you would like to bold, then click on the icon that is a lower-case "b".
Italics: Highlight the word or words you would like in italics, then click on the icon that is a lower-case "i".
Text Color: Highlight the word or words you would like to change the color of, then click on the icon that has a "T" next to a colorful checkerboard.
Link to another web page: Highlight the word or words you would like people to click on, then click the icon that looks like a green globe. This will pop open a window for you to type the other web address.
Adding a Picture: Click on the third icon from the right that looks like a picture. This will open a pop-up window where you can select which photos to post. Click on the Browse button to find the file on your computer. Next choose how you would like your picture aligned within the page (left, center, right). Then, choose how large you would like the image in the site (small, medium, large). Last, click Upload Image.
Once you have uploaded your image, it will appear at the very top of your post. You can move it anywhere within your post by just clicking on the image and dragging it to where you want it.Step 5: When you are ready, simply click Publish Post and it will appear on the site momentarily.
Good luck and Happy Posting!

THANKS Tisha!!!!
I still can't figure the pic thing out. I can't find the camera icon. That the instructions talk about?
Scoot - no camera icon. The icon you're looking for looks like a picture. You can only use this function in posting a new post, not in the comment field. In the Create Blog field, the picture icon will be the third from the right above where you type your post. Hope that helps!
