Navigating a Blog

Blogging.

For Newbies just reading a blog can be somewhat of a challenge. For all of you veteran bloggers out there you may want to skip this entry. OR you may want to click on the word "Feedback" and add a helpful tip.
Maneuvering your way through the body of a blog entry is first on the agenda

1. As you read, look for Highlighted words/underlined words. They are usually links to somewhere the writer hopes you will visit. Sometimes a blogger will make a reference to a previous post. They will include a hyperlink to take you to their reference. Just arrow back to return to the blog.

2. Often times the images in a post are also hyperlinks. Try it out. It can be fun. Click on the image to the right... to get back to the post(blog) just arrow back when you are finished checking out the link.

3. Instead of commenting to the author via email, click on to their "Feedback" button(mine says feedback, most say comments). You can find it at the bottom of the post. It will take you to a page where you can leave comments/thoughts about their blog. Have fun with it. If you aren't a registered "Blogger" then sign on under anonymous and simply sign your name with your message before you click on "Publish". Just like writing a note to someone. Easy.

4. Use the margins of the blog. Most bloggers will provide you with various menus you can click on to cruise deeper into their posts. Lots of fun. For example, I include links to other bloggers in my margin. Also, if you click on any of the races I have listed for Marc's Race schedule this year they too are links. The race you click on will take you to the web page for that particular race.

5. Any questions? click on "Feedback".


6. Enjoy.
