What to do with this...

By the way, if you need help creating or linking blogs see the post below this.

The purpose of these blogs is to keep in touch. Use these blogs as a public diary of what goes on in your daily lives. Nothing exciting happening? That's what you think!!! What may seem boring and mundane to you (the weather, what you did this week) is exciting to the rest of us because we're not there!

Don't belive me? Then go read your grandfather's journal, the scriptures, or historical accounts. What may seem ordinary to you lets others see your life through your eyes.

So, don't be afraid to post! That's what makes these interesting. Feel free to leave comments too. We love to see what you think about what has been written.

How to do this...

OK, we've had a few people wondering how to do all this. I will try to explain the best I can here. If it ends up being as clear as mud, e-mail me at brbrown72@sbcglobal.net and I'll try to explain it better.

1) If you want to create your own blog click on the Get Your Own Blog button in the upper right hand corner and follow the prompts.

2) Once you've created your own blog, uploaded some pictures, written a few things and chased the kids into bed...oh, wait, that's us...anyways, once you've done that you'll probably want to add a link to the "main" adams site for your site and vice versa. To do that you'll need to log into www.blogspot.com with your username and password you created for your site or the one for this site? Don't know the one for this site? Then ask Jeanie. If I post it here...well...let's just say that wouldn't be very wise.

3) After you've logged in, click on the blog you want to edit (hint: there's only one underlined!) and click on template. Now, for those of you who don't understand or know HTML this might look like a bunch of garbage. What you are looking for, VERY close to the end of the scroll, is a list of links. They will start with li that is surrounded by <>. Now, I can't "write" it out here the way it is supposed to look because then it would start a list. Anyways, look through there until you find the Google search, or someone else's link if you are on this site. Add your site, like the others, save it (down on the bottom with the "Save" button and then republish the blog.

4) Still can't figure it out? Send me an e-mail with the site address and I'll add it

Hope this helps.
