My First Experience with Blogging

Finally ...

July 16, 2004 10:17 AM from

This is my first experience with blogging. I have been thinking about starting one for quite some time, but have to admit that configuration and the look of the blog held me back, perhaps because I did not quite understand what to do to make the blog's appearance be as I wanted it, meaning that the software would allow me to configure the visual or GUI interface.

I hope that this software allows me to do so. I am somewhat surprised that it is free, or maybe it is not but I get it free because I bought the Stardock Network version, but I am not sure.

Blogging seems like a real interesting endeavor. A journal or an opinion forum where one can express feelings and positions on just about any topic. I think technology will never stop to amaze me, even though I am in the Computer Information Systems and Database Management area.

Well so much for this one.

In looking at the end result I guess I should use a smaller typeface

There's a little button on the bottom-left of the article.

Go into "my blog". I think you'll be able to edit from there.

Kayles is right, you should be able to edit from there.

And this is free. It's not becuase you purchased something from Stardock...so welcome to the wonderful world of Joe U!

I figured it out thanks to your help (the several bloggers that responded). I appreciate it. Beginners need all the help they can get. What do the points mean that one is assigned? Alternatively can I find a user guide somewhere?
