Posting


Some instructions on how to use this posting format. All you need is a dash of previous blogging experience.

When you decide to do a "new post" you will see this inside the box that is usually blank.

Type your summary here
[html looking stuff]
Type rest of the post here
[html looking stuff]

As you may guess, you will include a photo and type what ever you think gives an idea of the recipe...in place of the TYPE YOUR SUMMARY HERE part leaving the stuff in the arrows there.

Then you type the full recipe and any other thoughts you want instead of the TYPE REST OF POST HERE.

I say instead of because if you leave the phrases I capitalized above, they will be in your post. In either part, summary or the rest of post, you can add photos, links videos or whatever if you want.

Once you try it, and maybe do a bit of trial and error, you'll have it.


EXPLANATION TWO:

When you go to post you will see the box that already contains the following type.

Type your summary here
[html looking stuff]
Type rest of the post here
[html looking stuff]

Unfortunately I can't put in exactly what it looks like because it contains html code that won't show up when I post.

The lines that I have put in bold type is where you will put in your "summary"...and then "the rest of your post". You can delete the lines that are telling you to "type your summary/rest of your post here", or they will show up when you post.

The lines that show up here in [], will actually be in arrow symbols in the posting box. That is the html code. Or the information that tells the post what to do. Don't delete those lines. Leave them where they are, adding your information around them so to speak.

I hope these directions will be more helpful. If you open your internet up into two windows, you could have them both open to the "we eat" blog except having one of them with you adding a new post and the other with this post. This will leave you the instructions to look at as you go.

I have added more to the posting instructions that will hopefully make it more clear.

If anyone else has a better way or easier way of explaining it, that would be great.
