More Tech Support...

Turns out, you don't have to sign in with the woodwardblog username in order to make posts. Here is the list of steps you have to take in order to make posts under your own name/account:

1) First, make a gmail email account of your own (some of you already have gmail accounts of your own)
2) then sign into the woodward blog under the WOODWARDBLOG username (not your new gmail account username)
3) click on the "new post" link.
4) Then click on the "settings" tab at the top of the page,
5) and under the settings, click on the "permissions" link up there.
6) Now click on "add authors" and a box will appear.
7) Type in your new (or existing) gmail email address in the box.
8) From there, go to your new gmail account and open the email it sends you.
9) Click on the link in the email, it will lead you to the blogger website where it will prompt you to write the password of your new gmail account. Enter it and now you will be logged into blogger with your own account instead of woodwardblog. Get it?

hopefully this wasn't too confusing. If it is, just proceed to use the woodwardblog account to write your posts.
I have already done these steps and added myself as a "contributor" to this blog, so at the bottom of this blog it will say "Posted by Jules" instead of "Posted by Woodward Clan"

How come when I type woodstas.blogspot.com in the search box, it doesn't come up? I have to go to your invitation to get into the site.

hmm. perplexing, indeed.
what message does it say when the blog doesn't show up?

Sharon said...

it says, "Did you mean Woodastic?" and then it has this Woodastic site.

i'm stumped. i'm guessing it's doing that because the website is new so it's a new url. Hopefully it will just correct itself in time......
