SECRETS TO READING MY BLOG POSTS

Not everyone follows Blogs so I thought perhaps you'd be interested in SEVEN "Blog-Reading-Tips"........

YES, YES, YES, you can certainly just read it and be done with it, but there is so much more!!  

Check it out.......

1.  HIGHLIGHTED WORD(S) (not just bolded) - 

• If you click on it/them, you will be taken directly to the website referenced. Go ahead and try it now ----> "The Lake House"

2.  "LIKE" THE POST - 

• If you enjoyed what you read, just check the box next to the "I LIKED THIS POST" button at the bottom. 
• You can also let me know if you didn't like it. But keep in mind, I'm sensitive......

3.  "COMMENT" ON THE POST - 

• Sometimes you just can't resist, right?  At the bottom of the post you can leave a comment or ask a question.  
• Click on the word "COMMENTS" (it may say "No Comments" or "2 Comments" etc.). 
• If you DO comment, be sure to FIRST (so you don't forget) click "NOTIFY ME" in the bottom right corner of the comment box, and when I or someone else responds, you'll be "notified" by email, so you don't have to check back on your own. 
• DO NOT click on the "SIGN OUT" button.  
• When you're finished your comment, click "PUBLISH". 
• Oh, and sign your name if you're registered as ANONYMOUS, if you want me to know who commented. 
• Of course, there is NO need for you to leave a "Comment" for the world to see, but if you feel compelled, there you go!

4.  FOLLOW MY POSTS - 

• You DON'T want to miss anything, right? 
• On the right side of the page, a little below my photo, you'll see a tiny, rectangular open box that says "email address".  Type yours in, click on "SUBMIT" and VOILA! 
• VERY IMPORTANT - You'll receive an email within moments (check your spam folder) asking you to VERIFY that you're a real person and not a robot trying to sign up. There will be a link to click in the email and then a few letters/numbers to retype AND submit. 
• I don't think you can do this from a cell phone, but you certainly can on the computer or iPad. 

5.  READ MY EARLIER POSTS - 

• Scroll down the right hand side to "BLOG ARCHIVE", below which you can pick any month/year to locate and read posts that were previously published, which you may have missed.

6.  SEARCH BY KEY WORD - 

• Below the "BLOG ARCHIVE" is a space to type in a word(s) to search my Posts.  For instance, if you type in the word "Lavender" today, 4 posts will be listed that include that word in it.

7.  EMAIL THE POST TO A FRIEND (FEEL FREE!!) - 

• If I happened to share something that you feel would be meaningful or entertaining to one of your friends or family members, you can email it to them.
• At the bottom of the post is small ENVELOPE with an arrow in it.  Click on the envelope. OR there is a small box with an M in it, to the right of the Pencil. This is an additional email option.
• You'll be prompted to fill in the email address to whom you want to send it.
• The other boxes to the right of the Pencil give you the ability to share the post(s) on Blogger, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and/or Google+.

I hope you picked up at least one little nugget. Yeah, I know, I have so many SMART friends, you probably knew all of this already.....

OK, OK, on to my next Post......
