VERY FIRST BLOG ENTRY

OK ladies, here it is, waiting for your thoughts, your recipes, your words of encouragement! Right now it is a blank canvas that we can fill up with stories of successes......and probably a few failures in there as well! As you can see I wasn't sure what our little club is called yet so we need to get crackin' on a name.

Since possibly some of you are new to the blogging world (mother) I am going to post step by step instructions on how to post a blog. Now I know that we are all very smart capable women and I KNOW that you could figure this out on your own and possibly already know how to do it. BUT on the off chance that some of you are unsure (mother) about how to do this, here it is:

STEP 1: GET TO THE BLOG

-type in http://www.ourowndietclub.blogspot.com/

-(if you are reading this you are already here don't type that back in, that is just for future

reference)

STEP 2: SIGN IN

-upper right hand corner, click on Sign In

-enter your email address and password when prompted (you are going to have to

create a password. Just follow the prompts, it isn't hard.)

STEP 3: DASHBOARD

-Look for the NEW POST icon and click on it

STEP 4: COMPOSING

-You should now be on a page that has a blank area for you type in.

-JUST START TYPING!

-feel free to experiment and play around with whatever you want on this page, you can

even spell check! You won't mess anything up!

STEP 5: POSTING

-When you are done with your thoughts, go down to the bottom left and look for

the orange icon that says PUBLISH POST

-CLICK ON IT!

STEP 6: GRATIFICATION

-Once it has posted a new page will load that has an option to VIEW BLOG

-CLICK ON IT!

-See your thoughts and ideas posted to the world wide web for everyone to read and

comment on and feel.......gratified!

As Secretary, I will take care of the look of the blog and try to make it look cute and inspirational! Now I have an assignment for everyone. I want everyone to post ONE post this week and try it out. In that post everyone needs to come up with a name and then we can vote on what name we like best. Just do it! This blog won't be any fun if we ALL can't share on it and keep it going. Otherwise it will dwindle and die never to be read again.

If anyone has questions just email me. And I don't have Katie's email address but was told that she is in on this as well. So if anyone has it I want to make sure she is added on here. And to my sisters, if anyone else wants to get in on the action let me know and I will add you in as well!

Just remember one thing.....Keep it clean ladies, keep it clean! :)
