Every Thread Needs a Title

I'm no blogging pro, having just started a week or so ago but I'll take a crack at your q's.

Once you've signed up and chosen your template and actually start your first blog/post, you should see something that resembles what you see when you post here: box with some symbols and a blank area to type in. You should be able to paste in chapters from your word processor. And I believe you can delete any individual blog entry you want, or nuke the whole thing.

Jump in. The water's fine.

Edited to add: Is it easy or hard?

DUH! I'm doing it!

I would love it if you would post a blog with your Nano. I am with www.blogspot.com I found it to be so easy! It is free too. You can have as many blogs as you want. (Under one name) There is a place to delete the whole blog if you don't like it. Suppose you put up a post you didn't like--you go to the 'dashboard' and you can delete that post only or edit it. Before you set the blog up go to the right hand corner of any blogspot and go to the "next blog" key and you can go through other peoples blogs. Use it like a TV remote and see what different things people have done. Then you will get a clue what you want to do. I found Pete Townsend's blog www.boywhoheardmusic.blogspot.com to be very interesting. He is writing a whole book on line and you can download a chapter at a time if you want. And make comments. I think blogging is a very useful tool. I also like Ray's blog and visit it, he is good to share writing tips. He has a signup that will email you when he makes a new post! Now I am not that advanced, but I think it is fun.Do it!

Since Dawno threatened me with great bodily harm, I'm posting my questions to her here, for the rest of you to laugh at.

Did not!!

And I'll pinch anyone who laughs at you.

Really.

I haven't found a way to reverse the order yet. I think you can tweak the template to do that, but I don't know how. Anyone?

Another way to do it is to reverse the dates. Start with 12/31/2100 and work your way backwards...

If you're using Blogger, you can always change the date and time at the bottom of the posts.

If you have a blog that allows you to save drafts then you can enter all your chapters as drafts first. Then make chapter one the most current post date, chapter two yesterday, chapter 3 the day before and so on. Then they all appear in order as you scroll down thru the archives.

In what order did you finally publish the drafts? You need to publish the last chapter first and the first chapter last. If you didn't do that you'll have to go back and edit things. Sorry if just putting the dates didn't work - it should have...

Unique, when are you going to post the URL? or did you already?

Joanne, I think she's waiting to get the posts up in their correct order first.

In case anyone comes here and wants to know Unique's blog is a NaNo story with AW characters. (And, man, what a buncha characters we are) It can be found here: UniqueMaterial
