Help

How do I get other peoples blogs on my page? I always have to go to Beckys site and then to all the blogs I want to read. If someone would either tell me how to do it, or do it themselves...Becky. This would make my life easier.
Anyway, nothing to write about, so I am going to eat my smoked oysters, drink my near beer with clamato juice, and watch the Router Workshop. Great TV and my favorite snacks, and it is not even the weekend. I know how to live. OOOOOh yaaa.

Um...I'm confused...what is that list of blogs on the right side of your page?

Mine is on there...what more do you need?

John, you do have a list on the side of your blog. I did notice though that mine wasn't on there. That is just not good.

I would do it for him, but he changed his password so I can't until he calls me up and tells me... ALSO I've told him the easiest way to go from blog to blog is to bookmark them as his favorites and go from there. OTHERWISE he STILL has to go back to his site in between each blog... Which, in my opinion couldn't be THAT much less iritating than going to my blog in between everyone elses. Don't worry people. I'll fix him all up while we're visiting next week so none of us will have to listen to his, "I'm so helpless..." whining.

Heh heh. See what happens when a person gets a little more knowledge in one area than another person who has a LOT more knowledge in most other areas? It TOTALLY goes to their head. Ahhh the feeling of power...

Shirley, that list is not complete, see now my sister is choked that she is not on it. I want to know how to get all the people I read on there, without using that fat headed Becky. She will just lord it over me, like she is already.

what i do is not put anyone on, and then you either have nobody upset or everyone upset the same... and i can deal with either of them... and if they can't well then too bad for them... but that's just me

John. My name isn't on there either. BUT, I have the same question. How do I get that list on my blog? I have the bookmark thing, but I would still like to do the list on my blog.

Margaret, something is wrong with your site, I can't comment, or am I the only one who can't get to the comments page. I promise I will be a little more punctual with the shower thing.

K. After you log in to your account select "TEMPLATE" from the file folder tabs near the top of the page. This will take you into a page of html code. It looks scary, but it really isn't that bad. Scroll down to near the bottom of all that code and you will find a set that looks something like this: (There will be some little < thingies, but I can't put them on here or it will think I am trying to use html code...)

MainOrArchivePage
h2 class="sidebar-title"Links/h2
ul
li a href="http://news.google.com/" Google News /a /li

etc. etc.

Now all you have to do is copy and paste new web addresses over the web addresses they have there. In this case you would paste a new web address over http://news.google.com/. (In your case maybe you would change it to: http://mitzcrause.blogspot.com/) Leave the quotes there. Then you would write a new title for it instead of Google News. (So in this case it might be Mitz's Blog.) I usually just go to each site and copy and paste it over the old stuff. Then when I run out of room I copy and paste some new lines and then edit those... The key is you want your code to look like their's...

OR

You could wait till I get there on Friday and I could do it for you...

OR

You could phone me and tell me your password and I can have it done for you in about 5 minutes...

Your choice.

Yeah, Go Becky....... and even when you talked about the little < thingies I actually knew what you were talking about. Yeah me!!! I knew learning a little html coding would come in handy some day :)

that html talk just scares me. I have all of my blogs just bookmarked in my favorites thingy and I just click on those. Easier by far.

I agree. That's how I do it.

Yep - It's just so much faster to add them to your bookmarks list. I like it. And I am no computer whiz, that's for sure...

Bookmarks can be your friend.

Hey John, don't you think it's about time for a new post?

John, this is way past ridiculous already!
Post something would you?

You know what I think is so pathetic? That you get 20.. yes 20 comments on this totally lame excuse for a post. Come on John. I need to know what's happening in your life. And you need to do it BEFORE Friday because once Ben is there we won't hear from you 'till next week. So get busy.

You know... It's only been like 7 days since he last wrote... I know it feels like forever, but that is only because we are all addicted to new blogs and we check them every stinkin day.
