Getting started

It was great seeing old friends (and acquaintances) again. I took a number of photos that I will try to post once I figure out how to get them from my camera into the computer in E-mail format. They are much too large to post as is. I recently downloaded software to compress the photos and I think that will work. Hoping some of us locals can get together even before the next reunion.

Important Information About Using This Blog

Some of you have contacted me because you are having problems enrolling on Blogger. In the interest of making this blog easier to use I have set it up so that anyone can comment on a post.

A comment is a response to a post. For example, if you want to comment on this post, scroll to the bottom and you will see the word comments. Click on it and a window appears. Type away and press publish this post. Your comment will appear under the original post.

To read a comment, click on the word comments and all comments on a given post will appear. Want to test it? Go to my first post and scroll to the bottom of it. To return to the home page, click on view blog.

You are reading a post right now. A post looks like this and appears at the top of the blog until the next post is sent. The previous post appears below. To send an original post, go to the top right of the home page screen where you will see the words new post. If you are reading this, you are there right now.

The way blogs are set up, only those who become members may post. To become a member, you must be invited. I sent most of you an invitation to join. You were sent a response from Google - the owner of Blogger - with instructions on how to become a member. I understand that some of those invitations and responses ended up in some people's SPAM. If you want to join and need another invite, please email me at:

iansummers@heartstorming.com

There are instructions on my first post which may guide you through posting and sending pictures. Can't figure it out? Send me an email with photos attached (jpegs only) and I will post them for you.

Still stuck? Call me at 610-438-5707

send them to me as JPEGs and I will post them for you.

How This Blog Works


The reunion was a huge success. Some of us have been talking about how to keep the energy, spirit and reconnections alive.

This is a great place to post messages, comments, photographs, etc. Our blog will be set up so that only those who are members may see it. The only way to become a member is to be invited.

I plan to invite everyone whose e-mail address is known to us to become a member of the blog. Each person who accepts the invitation will be sent a set of instructions from Blogger who is the host of this site. Just follow the instructions. It should take less than ten minutes even for the computer challenged. You will need a Google ID to take full advantage of all of the features.

Once you are a member of the blog you may visit and post at any time.

The blog's address is:
www.fairlawnhighschool.blogspot.com

If you wish to post a message click on new post which you will find in the upper right hand corner of the window. A new window will appear. Type your post there, type in a title, and click on publish post to send it to the blog.

Never blogged before? Come on. Give it a try.

There are other choices if you wish to change the size of the type or color or center it or... Or just let the default take over.

If you wish to post a photograph (must be jpeg) go to the new post window. You will see a set of icons above the message window. You will see two small squares. The one on the left is for posting pictures. Click on it.

A window appears which asks you if you would like to browse your computer for the image. This will take you to Finder on the MAC and whatever it is called in Windows. Click on the file and its locations will appear in the browse window. Click on the orange tab called publish this image. And as Doc Kamins would say, Voila!

If you want to see a larger version of the photograph, click on it.

If you would like to comment, scroll down to the bottom of any posting and you will see the word comments. Click on it and follow the instructions.

If you get stuck, call me and I will guide you through it.

Thanks,
Mike
