Welcome to our blog...

In order to get this blog going we need to learn how to post, label, schedule and edit our posts.
Each month we will have our special day to post our story. 
Preparing to post we will import work by copy and pasting... but it might be easier for shorter pieces to write our work directly into a blank NEW POST page.
We have a choice of composing using "COMPOSE" from the top left hand menu, or
HTML. 
For now I suggest COMPOSE. It is simpler.
We can insert images. If you feel the need. Feel free to experiment. On the top RIGHT is a PREVIEW icon.
This opens a new tab where you can see what the blog will look like to the public.
Instead of PUBLISHING, I suggest we SCHEDULE posts.
They will automatically publish on our assigned day...or whenever we choose.
it is a good idea to LABEL your post, using words for search engines to find your story.
It is up to you. We can discuss this at a meeting.

If each author would like to post a short introduction, to say Hello and discover how to work the blog.
Our profiles from the groups' website are already available, so just feel free to say hi.
To do this...
Find NEW POST icon.
A blank page will appear. It needs a TITLE. Then the bulk of your message goes into the page.
Once you are happy with your message, you can PUBLISH.
If you want to EDIT, you will be able to do that from the list of POSTS.
See how you go.
No pressure!
