How to Post

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Hello First District GOP Friends. Welcome to our Blogs!

For those who may not be familiar with blogging let me give you a quick tour around our site.

How to post? County Party Leadership - you will need to contact Keith Almli to get signed up - his email address is pcmxnetworks@gmail.com or his phone number is 906.524.2248.

Keith will need the user name that you would like to use and your email address to sign you up to be able to post to your county blog and the first district blog. You will also want to inform him of other people in your county who will be authorised to post on your county blog.

For other people coming to the site who would like to make comments to postings already on either the county blogs or the first district blog, look underneath the postings you will find the word “No Comments” or it may have a “number of comments” you will click on the word Comments and it will open a screen for you to post your comment to any posting already on the site.

If you wonder if other people have made comments to the postings, you will need to see if there are comments “hidden” if it gives a number of comments in the link below the comment.

I hope that I have not completely confused you … but encourage you to have fun reading the postings on the blogs and adding your comments to the blogs.

Happy Postings!
John Niemela, Houghton
