Blogging 101

So you're new to blogging (yes this is a blog, and when you are on it its called blogging). Here's an explanation and a few tips:

A blog is like an online journal - it keeps a chronological record of thoughts and information. It can be public (available to everyone) or private (you have to join to see/comment). Only authors (in this case myself) can put new things up.

But - there are things you can do. Note the comments section at the bottom of every post - its a bit like facebook, click on the work "comment" and you can make a comment. Tell me what you think about what I've said, like/dislike, interested/not, challenge the information or provide links to more. Then you can have a conversation with people from anywhere about it.

You can find any post by looking at the Blog Archive section on the left, towards the bottom. All the posts are listed and stored by date, listed by name. So if the info you're looking for isn't at the top of the page, look here. Or try the search bar above it

This "side bar" also has other information -just scroll down the page to see it. Information about upcoming events are here, links to information, and all sorts of other weird and wonderful things as I put them up there. You can also become a "follower" - (look for this box on the side bar). If you join up to this, when new posts go up (like this one) you get an email to tell you.

If you want to tell me something privately, rather than leaving a comment that everyone will see, go to the About Me section (right at the bottom of the sidebar) click here and access my email address (which you can also just click on)

I've decided to put fitness information on here, rather than bits and pieces on facebook, as this way its all together and here permanently for people to search for if you're ever interested, and you dont have to be on facebook to see it. If you'd like to see information about a particular topic - just let me know - drop me a comment or an email - after all you know how to do both now!
