How To Use This Blog
There are 3 really cool features to this blog that I want you to know about and take advantage of…..
Comment
One of the best things about a blog is that it allows you to comment on the article and also stimulates conversation and exchanges of ideas between different readers on the topic at hand.
To comment all you need to do is fill in your name and email address in the yellow boxes (don’t worry about where it says url – unless you have your own website) below the article.
Then add your comment in the big white empty box that says “Comment†and hit the “Say It†button and your comment will be added.
The more people that enter into this and add comments, debate topics etc. the better and more enjoyable for everyone the blog will be.
Bookmark It
It is possible to “bookmark†useful articles on the blog to allow other parents to know about them; so that they can read the article too.
Below each article on my blog it will say “Bookmark It†and have a number of colorful buttons beneath it.
These all take you through to “social bookmarking websites†where you can “bookmark†the article for others to read – if you found the article helpful or useful.
Just click on a button and follow the simple instructions at whichever site you want to do this at (some require a free sign-up others not).
Yahoo bookmarks (the big red Y sign at the end of the buttons) is an easy one to start with if you are new to bookmarking.
It’s easy to do once you get used to it and can benefit other parents by alerting them to helpful articles.
RSS Feed
On the Right Hand Side of the main page there is a section that looks like this (but with actual buttons):
Subscribe:
RSS Feed
Subscribe to Bloglines
Subscribe to Google
Subscribe to MyYahoo!
Subscribe to MyMSN
Subscribe to MyAOL
Subscribe to Newsgator
This is where you can sign up for an RSS Feed of the Parenting Aspergers Blog.
Don’t worry if this sounds terribly technical – it just stands for Really Simple Syndication Feed.
What this means is that you can sign up using one of the services (like Google, Yahoo, MSN etc.) and they will update you every time a new entry is added to the blog.
Just click one of the buttons and sign up through that service and you will get an update each time I add to the blog.
Enjoy…………..
