Slightly More Than A Little Irritated
So basically this is my first blog-thing. I'd just like to point out that though I've technically had this blog for almost a month now the fact that this is my first one has everything to do with the one question that frustrated me out of this entire idea. "How in the world does one follow a blog?" Yes I did know that I didn't need to become a follower to become a writer however I did need inspiration and ideas on how to put what's on my mind on paper...er...well in font I suppose. I'm not a journalist. I'm not a poet, and sometimes I try to convince myself that I am a writer. I have taken many courses on writing and have received high marks as well as suggestions to strive to be a writer I don't know if at this time I should do so. In fact, the whole reason why I have this blog is because my Aunt (my most favorite one, but don't tell because I'll have 10+ who may not be offended but may wonder as to how it happened) had read many of my stories while she was visiting Sacramento. I believe she was visiting the Capital so that she may attend a discussion on adoption\foster houses and their parents. She also said that perhaps this was the best way I could keep in contact with her eldest sons. Ha so here I am. Not as irritated anymore, slightly still frustrated because I couldn't figure this thing out right off the bat...but stepping up to the plate...and still moving forward

Hey Amanda :)
I assume by "follow a blog" you mean you want to subscribe to blogs so that you can be notified when someone has posted instead of having to check all the time. Is that what you mean? If it is, the best way I know how to do that is to get an RSS feed reader. Since you have a Google account (blogger is operated by Google, so if you have a blogspot account, which you obviously do, then you have a Google account) you could use what I use -- Google Reader. If you go to Google's homepage and click the pulldown menu at the top left that says "more," you can drag down to "Reader." It'll ask you to sign in. Then all you have to do is add URLs to your "Subscriptions" and it will feed new posts into your reader. Then, in order to find out who has posted, all you have to do is log in to Google Reader and all the posts that have been written recently should pop up. If none of this makes sense to you, I'd be happy to talk to you over the phone to try and explain it better. If you want to give me a call, my number is 563-271-6081. Elizabeth and I are moving this weekend, and her family will be in town Sunday through Christmas Eve, so I might be a little tough to catch in the next week or so, but if you're interested, I'd love to hear from you. Even if you just leave me a message, I promise I'll get back to you!
Hey Amanda:)
Is it funny that I just greeted you the same way as my wierdo brother?
