Things to think about while posting...

Please keep the following in mind when posting:

1. Use 'white space'. When composing a blog, keep in mind the reader. As such, the online reader does not wish to troll through heaps of non-paragraphed text in order to find satisfaction. Divide your writing with easy to read and navigate paragraphs. That means hit the enter/return key twice. Easy enough?

2. Check your spelling, grammar, etc. Use Blogger's features, and if not satisfied there, type your piece in Word or another program first, then copy & paste. Got it?

3. Label your stuff. See that box at the bottom of the post? Please enter appropriate labels for all of your posts so that we may group them later, or visitors can see all common postings. All you have to do is enter one or more labels, separated by a comma. Can you do it? I knew you could...

You guys are all doing great. Let's kick it to a new level! And if you have questions, please ask them... We're here for you to guide you along the way. Always available, always open!

USE FIREFOX 3. It has a nifty spell-checker. It doesn't help with grammar though, which means that some people will have to learn how to speak english before making their next posts.

Great entry Johansson - helpful and encouraging both.

Let's not be mean, Cyrus.

Also, go back to read and comment on the responses from the past. The discussion could be quite rewarding. It only takes a few minutes and we won't get this any other way with this group.

The picture - from my soon-to-be brother-in-law... his brother used to make signs like this for a living. This one hangs at their apartment... to the great annoyance of my sister!

Be MEAN? Me? Never. Just a note to everyone who feels like I'm being mean. I'm really not. I have a very odd sense of humor. Please don't take offense to anything I say. Unless it's really offensive, in which case I probably won't say it in the first place.
